I avoid untalented main-street rappers, so I don't care if you think Little John is better than Atmosphere.
Immortal Technique.| CODE |
Felipe Coronel (born February 19, 1978), better known as Immortal Technique, is a hip hop MC and political activist.
Most of his songs focus on social justice, covering a wide variety of topics such as urban poverty in the US and international economic inequality (especially in Latin America), protest against the imprisonment of Mumia Abu-Jamal, militarism and the military industrial complex in the U.S., his belief in its "complicity" in the September 11, 2001 attacks, his perception of its racism (especially in regards to the mistreatment of people of color) and media bias in favor of conservative and corporate interests.
Although he has been offered a deal with at least one major music label, he has never signed to any, since disagreements over the political content of his songs could arise. Immortal Technique has also voiced a desire to keep control over his production, and has made statements in his music that he is very aware that it is record companies, not the artists themselves, who profit the most from mass production and marketing of music. He releases his music on and is also the President of Viper Records. To reach wider audiences, Immortal Technique's next projects will be distributed by Babygrande Records. |
