It doesn't matter what race you are. It doesn't matter what religion you are. I always tell people: If you want to be a part of hip-hop, you just need to have a heart. You need to have the courage to tell the truth.

Immortal Technique
I try to take people at face value and then beyond, taking them out of face value and out of the category of being Black, Latino, Asian, White, Jewish, Muslim or Christian or Atheist, none of that matters to me.
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
People are educated into the fact that as a people we stand a better chance of knowing how to work the law if we know the history of the law and the history of our people's relationship with it.
Immortal Technique
I don't need to put jewels on to make myself feel important. I'd rather drop them for the benefit of less fortunate people. I don't need to put gold on my body, and I'm not criticizing people who do, but for me, I'd rather be around my family and see them be happy because that's worth more to me than gold.
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.

When we look at these types of things it echoes to lessons we haven't learned from the past. We still don't see Rome as a negative thing we glorify the Roman Empire. It was a fascist state under the control of an incredibly authoritarian militant pre-emptive striking genocidal regime.
Immortal Technique
You can’t stop a revolution from breathin’, so to beat ‘em they offer people the illusion of freedom.
Immortal Technique
The kingdoms of Africa and Mesopotamia, machine gunning your body with depleted uranium, this is the age of microchips and titanium, the dark side of the moon, and contact with aliens.
Immortal Technique
In a world of regret, sacrifice and hardship, laughter and music are medicine.
Immortal Technique
Hell is not a place you go if you're not a Christian, it's the failure of your life's greatest ambition.
Immortal Technique
Hip-hop is about the human condition it's about people's lives.
Immortal Technique
The mind of a child is where the Revolution begins.
Immortal Technique
I'll throw ya gang-sign up, and then I'll spit on my hand.
Immortal Technique
I love the place that I live, but I hate the people in charge.
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.
Immortal Technique
I feel my body weakening but my spirit is fine, ready to go to war with devils at the drop of a dime
Immortal Technique
I think that when you look at history and when you look at these facts that shape nations and shape countries and give us present examples of how we're supposed to live, we find more and more often that we're not paying attention to what's actually happening.
Immortal Technique
I'm a business man and I'm a grown man. I spend a lot of time thinking about how to restructure my life, support my family with this music... I don't have time to deal with the repercussions of breaking somebody's jaw or breaking their nose.
Immortal Technique
I have a strong army I keep with me and we don't go out there looking for problems. A lot of people have this perception... but I don't have a superiority complex about me because I'm from New York or because I'm Peruvian/Black. I think some people get caught up in that stuff.
