They call us terrorists after they ruined our countries The opening track also speaks some real truth: 700 children died by the end of this song. It makes the hood in amerika look like paradiseand The title track Third World is just as good, but more lyrical, staying on the topic of the truly oppressed with lines like: Open Your Eyes is jam-packed with a great analysis political economy with a great hook. He demonstrates the application of this materialism in his revolutionary theory that is based in internationalism and recognizes the principal contradiction between the oppressor and oppressed nations. Son, remember, when you fight to be free. Philosophically, Tech repeatedly pushes materialism, with lines like:3
Tech even calls out all the rappers who used to be down with Allah, for turning silent out of fear. But Third World is much lighter on conspiracy theory, and responds to this critique and the development of the principal contradiction globally by clearly allying with the jihad against u$ occupation. This stems from his reliance on conspiracy theories in favor of studying politics on the group level. MIM(Prisons) mentioned Immortal Technique in a discussion of the principal contradiction, where we were critical of his treatment of Bu$h and bin Laden as one in the same. So, we see Tech growing ideologically, as well as musically on this new CD. But a comparison of Open Your Eyes off of Third World with The Poverty of Philosophy off of Vol.1 indicates that his politics have continued to develop in the internationalist direction that was more clearly pronounced on Vol.2. On his first CD, he declared camaraderie with working class whites as a whole. The biggest criticism of Tech's politics has to be the role of the white nation as oppressor vs. MIM's review of and interview with Immortal Technique received a lot of interest and response from readers of MIM Notes and in the past. Tech's lyrics with samples to complement from DJ Green Lantern, over some banging beats, make this a highly recommended album to check out. The title is fitting, as the album takes a pretty consistent perspective of the oppressed of the Third World. It's not Revolutionary Volume 3, it's not the much hyped Middle Passage, but it's a mix tape with DJ Green Lantern called Third World. The long awaited third album from Immortal Technique hit stores today. Immortal Technique - The 3rd World drops by MIM(Prisons) June 2008
