\"tech\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Immortal Technique is a madman on beats. Expect a pushed psyche and a riveted soul when listening to his music. The underground legend is known for a lyrical approach to his songs and there isn’t anything about his music that screams mainstream sound or speaks to a desire for radio play. No, Immortal Technique is all about his message, hunger,\u00a0and lyricism. Give these three exceptionally lyrical songs a listen to find out why the 36-year-old machine is such a gifted spitter.<\/p>\n

“Positive Balance”<\/strong>
\nThis Revolutionary Vol. 1<\/em> gem features a sharp Big Zoo verse before receiving the Immortal Technique treatment. On a CD regarded as an underground staple, this track might have the greatest amount of replay value.<\/p>\n

Here’s possibly his most conceptual line ever, “I love when people think I’m psychologically disturbed cause it means I overloaded their neurological nerves.”<\/p>\n

Check another – “Instead of catering to labels, something’s gotta give, I’ll rip the electrons out your body and make you positive.”<\/p>\n

What did\u00a0he just say and rhyme together?\u00a0Immortal\u00a0Technique\u00a0gets that\u00a0advanced over the simple, but catchy, beat blasting in the background. He also blesses his chorus with a witty knock on the rap game.<\/p>\n

“Dominant Species”<\/strong>
\nAnother viciously creative entry on Revolutionary Vol. 1<\/em>, “Dominant Species” is three verses of death to anyone trying to reach Immortal Technique’s level. When this album dropped in the early-2000s, no underground foe was equal to him.<\/p>\n

Here’s a taste of the venomous wit he spews, “I’m on the brink of insanity between extreme intelligence and split personalities, but I elevate to the point of reversing gravity, revolutionary conceptuality spitting out of me.”<\/p>\n

This intricate flow only builds as “Dominant Species” expands. This song and “Positive Balance” are also back-to-back inclusions on the CD, giving a dynamic one-two punch of heaviness.<\/p>\n

“Industrial Revolution”<\/strong>
\nRevolutionary Vol. 2<\/em> backed up Immortal Technique’s debut album with added greatness. “Industrial Revolution” isn’t quite as gritty or dark like the earlier songs listed in this article. Rather, it’s a more insightful, direct track.<\/p>\n

Here’s a dose of the intelligence he drops, “Immortal Technique stuck in your thoughts darkening dreams, no one’s as good as me, they just got better marketing schemes.”<\/p>\n

“Industrial Revolution” is a two-verse beast showcasing what makes Immortal Technique such a followed figure: lyricism and smarts. He balances a verbally rare attack with a seasoned knowledge of the world.<\/p>\n
