More quotes by Immortal Technique
Universal truth is not measured in mass appeal, This is the last time I kneel and pray to the sky, Cause almost everything that I was always ever told was a lie...
Immortal Technique
You don't have to either choose to save the world or become a sellout. I say to people, Listen dude, how can you save the world if you can't even save yourself? Why don't you try to affect one person's life who's in your life, and that would be historic.
Immortal Technique
The problem with always being a conformist is that when you try to change the system from within, it's not you who changes the system it's the system that will eventually change you.
Immortal Technique

A lot of individuals I've met that I've done a song or two with. But to be honest I'm not incredibly familiar with the scene. I mean, I'm more familiar with people coming from other countries like Latin-American MCs and African rappers... that type of stuff I'm really starting to get a hold on.
Immortal Technique
Doubt that there could ever be...a more wicked MC. 'Cuz AIDS infested child molesters aren't sicker than me.
Immortal Technique
A man who walks with God, can walk anywhere. Hence, I fear nothing.
Immortal Technique
As much as racism bleeds America, we need to understand that classism is the real issue.
Immortal Technique
I'm not trying to sell pipe dreams to people. I'm not giving them some fake utopia. I'm not telling them it's easy. If it was easy, everyone would do it. But you don't fight the fights you can win, you fight the fights that need fighting. That's the most important part.
Immortal Technique
Your fans can't just pop in whenever they want. I'm not gonna allow someone to just drop over my house whenever they want like, Hey what's up? I bought your album so what's for dinner?
Immortal Technique
The average ordinary person, in the worst slums of America, someone who might even hate the law and disagree with the government, they would do something about that [abandoned child]. But in Afghanistan, people hardly have the means to take care of themselves, let alone a random child on the street.

Pharoahe Monch is a long time supporter of my music and I'm a long time supporter of his music so when we met each other it was almost like a natural occurrence.I met him before a few years earlier and we were just politicking with each other and we had a conversation about possibly doing something but our schedules have always been in conflict.

I spend a lot of time out there. I've got a lot of family that lives in Inglewood and surrounding areas. So I'm right in the hood, every time I go there I go see my peoples. I rep real hard for the people that I see that are the counterparts of what I'm trying to do out here, out there.
Immortal Technique
