I like his music and what he shares to the public. I do put him up there with Tupac. 2pac is still my favorite but I Immortal Techniques as well. I feel IT is more about the politics and influencing the world for change than the music. 2pac was a great Artist that would really entertain you with his music and he came out with so many albums in such a short amount of time. IT doesn't have that many albums and he is not very versatile in his expression, most of all his music is aimed towards the politics of the world and although it is cool at first, it does get old. I see that meditation is the key to all these world problems, but for him he is focused more on political change and I don't see that really to be the solution. But I do see him to be someone that is conscious of what is happening and doing that he thinks is best to inspire a change for the better. But as an Artist, I do not see him to be at Pac's level. But as a leader for political change, it seems has gotten the attention of a lot of people in power and has participated in and has been invited to many interviews with people in mainstream media. He is creating a buzz and he is still alive, whereas Pac was killed off immediately for being too real. IT is taking his time and being smart with how he expresses himself so that he can make a bigger change in the long run. He is the light for a lot of people who are interested in Hip Hop, because honestly, there are just not too many intelligence and wisdom in the industry. It's like trying to find a great teacher in prison, it will be hard to find someone like Malcolm X or IT. Actually IT has been in prison before, just like Malcolm. And of course 2pac was in prison as well. There are just not going to be too many qualified leaders coming out of prison. But IT is one of those people that can point the Hip Hop audience in the right direction. Sifu Freddie Leehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17960104415761744671noreply@blogger.com
