Running Nowhere. Let us know in the comments! The last track from the monumental Revolutionary Vol 2 , closes out the album on a somewhat positive and uplifting note. One love, One music, One people, One! Though arguably not quite as strong as his first two albums, The 3rd World still was head and shoulders above most Hip Hop albums released in Talk about a dream line-up.
With guest verses from Killer Mike and the show-stealing Brother Ali, and with Chuck D taking care of the hook — you know the result has to be a quality track, to which you really need to listen to let the message sink in. A brilliant concept song in which Tech and 6 guest emcees all take a role as the story follows the path of cocaine from a field in South America to the streets of the U.
So when they point the finger at you, brother man? The title track from The Martyr , a free compilation album of previously unreleased material and new tracks with over 1 million downloads in its first week. What does religion mean to you and do you follow a faith?
If I told people I was a Muslim, people wouldn't say: "Wow, that's wonderful you've found inner peace in your life by embracing Islam. Are you one of them fucking Wahabbi, Sunnite, Salafi psycho-niggas?
Are you down with Hezbollah and them? I have always been hounded by people about it; people try and pry it out of me. I believe in God and have a faith that's very personal to me. That faith is between me and God. We have polarised religion, rather than it being a personal reflection of your relationship with God and how you communicate with God. I'd rather be friends with a good atheist than a bad religious person. Your religion is suppose to ennoble you, but if all it makes you do is become contemptuous of other people, or make you say other people are going to hell, your religion has failed you, or rather, you have failed your religion.
What struggles do you face with being a "reality rap" artist and people trying to pinpoint any sort of hypocrisy in your life? I don't shy away from anything. As human beings, we're all works in progress.
If I can get some constructive criticism, you're helping me grow as a human being. Sometimes I realise I need to grow. It happened with me trying to take the word bitch more out of my music.
I'm not a "gay-rights champion", but if I'm going to talk about people being oppressed in my music, then aren't some people oppressed if they don't have the right to marry the person they want in a society that's supposed to be free? They shouldn't be punished by a government because of the way they are born. I wouldn't call it conspiracy. I would suggest people research — for example when I said Bin Laden was part of the CIA and people said "that's not true".
When people say it's a conspiracy I welcome the criticism, because the music I make is backed by historical facts. I'm not afraid to be wrong or debate it. I won't allow people to marginalise my music. I would say I use it less frequently than I have before. I have made a conscious decision to replace it in the music I make. I understand a lot of people have used that word to express camaraderie. In the States we remade the word to be something that reflected unity among ourselves.
I think it was a confidence-builder and a way of showing that hip-hop could supersede any of the stereotypes thrown on top of them.
The only problem is that when it became corporatised, someone else decided what those stereotypes would be replaced with. I think eventually I will have to phase it out. I don't want to be 50 years old and yelling to my children like that.
I think what people need to keep in mind is the way individuals are introduced to that word is incredibly unique for everybody's experience. There is a certain power in reclaiming language.
I was born with the disease I inherited from my father — it's called responsibility. It prevents me from dropping seeds in random women and not taking care of children like a man should. When it's time for me to have a family, I intend to dedicate my life to that. It's hard to juggle that as an artist and a revolutionary. Omar Shahid. The reality rapper on conspiracies, the presidential race, the industry's flaws and his many run-ins with the US government. Voice of conscience … Immortal Technique.
What are the themes of your music? Who is resisting and why are they doing it? Where does the anger in your music come from? Who are your musical influences?
