REVIEW Immortal Technique-Revolutionary Volume 2

Revolutionary Vol. 2-Immortal Technique Review

For my first hip-hop album this was nice. You know the album was gonna be good because you pop it into your CD player, and what is the first thing you hear? Mumia Abu-Jamal. Anybody who opens their album with a recording of him is allright by me. Now onto what I thought about this album, it started out good. Point of No Return and Peruvian Cocaine, great tracks, awesome beats and lyrics. But unfortunately for this album the good beginning dies near the middle. Obnoxious was just like its name, obnoxious. I didn’t like that one, but The message and the Money was allright. It just had its moments, but he was too blatant, I woulda liked more subtly in his lyrics, he just says what he’s thinking. **** you and what-not, got a bit old after a while, as did the constant repetition of his name, I dunno how many times I heard “yea nigga, Immortal Technique.” Put simply I think he ran outta ideas and steam by the end. Mumia’s track was nice. But it surpasses all other hip-hop albums that you see on the mainstream market. Immortal Technique is good, theres no doubt about that, but lyricly, I think Zach De La Rocha has him beat, but Zach doesn’t have his flow. Good album, not superb or perfect, but good nonetheless.

70/100
Buy it if you like the content or hip-hop. But not perfect, not exactly a classic, but still good.

Immortal Technique has a pretty bad flow, actually.

I think your review sums up some of his problems and virtues pretty well.. but I tend to disagree about the end of his CD being weaker than the beginning. I mean the last two tracks on the CD, You Never Know and One (remix) are great, two of my favorite tracks from the CD.

check out Revolutionary Vol 1.

it's better than Volume 2 in my opinion.

good review, but there were alot of good tracks on that album.

there were..
But I do think they were a bit overshadowed by the few bad ones...
I still liked it though, and i don't consider it a waste of my money

the only weak track was Obnoxious, and that was still better than 99% of commercial hip hop.

I still listen to this album. I agree that some of the lyrics are redundant but for the most part he drops alot of knowledge, even if you disagree with his conspiracy theories you cant deny the important message which is to look past the media outlets and find out the truth for yourself. I would prefer more story telling on his next album because i think this is one of his best skills, just check "Dance with the devil" and "You never know" for proof. My favourite tracks are "Peruvian Cocaine" (my introduction to Technique), "The 4th branch", "The cause of death", "Leaving the past" and "You never know".

I don't like Immortal Technique, he's got skills, but he's brags too much.

I like Vol 1, but only really because of Dance W/ The Devil & The Prophecy.

Yea I got tired of Immortal after the second listen. The only people that I know who really dig his music are folks who dont really care for hip-hop and dont know what's out there.

There are way better artists. Just have to search, but it's fun.

agree^

there are easily much better mc's out there.

if u like political hip hop, just listen to Mr. Lif, Krs-One etc...

Gotta love Mr Lif, the new Chuck D.

👆

and his partner Akrobatik is pretty good too.

Mr. Lif is too dope.

Pip Skid is another great political MC.

yea^ 👆 ✅
