There are a lot of obvious things you can throw at Immortal Technique - too many of his rhymes are simple similies, his natural flow isn't all that great, he spends too much time on his soapbox, "Obnoxious" flat out sucks - but it remains true that no other rapper has got so big with such a fiercly angry political lookout and such a determination to stay away from any kind of major label interest. Revolutionary Vol. 2, which is a definite leap forward from its predecessor, is easily compared to Dead Prez, yet it's almost like somebody's turned the volume up: the lack of major label pressure and censorship here means that Tech can go as far as he likes. That backfires occasionally (the aforrmentioned "Obnoxious", which is nothing more than Tech showing off at how far he can push the boundaries of taste), but also allows for a record that is absorbing, uncompromising, and convincing from start to finish. The peaks come at either end of the record - "The Point Of No Return" and "You Never Know" are two of the best hip-hop songs of the new millenium, the latter featuring a dense, guitar-heavy arrangement so heartbreaking you barely notice when Tech starts rapping.

One of the most emotionally charged rap albums in existance, few can ever hope to compare to Immortal Technique. the way he manages to tell such dark and honest stories through his music whilst never failing to invoke some rap cliches in his music is ridiculously good. His flows are nearly untouchable and his lyrical content is so well written-album opener The Point Of No Return in particular stands out among the best rap songs in existance. Revolutionary Volume 2 is a landmark rap album of which few can ever hope to match. That being said it does grow a little tedious, the beats can be repetitive and there are a couple of filler songs hence the 4.

When you make it out to be that everything you say is SO important, none of it becomes important.

This guy seems to use a baby's view of politics and middle school philosophy to spit shit only a white person who doesn't really like hip-hop that much could enjoy. Not to mention godawful cheap production.

Lacks solid flow and has some lackluster beats, but his message is one to be respected and he conveys it with visceral images and shocking images.

even though i disagree w/ alot of immortal technique's views and the shit he rhymes about on this record, he can fuckin spit and expresses his views very powerfully with great flow too.
