'The Vlad Couch' Ft. Immortal Technique (Ep. 17) Full Interview

- www.vladtv.com - Intellectual individual Immortal Technique always covers a lot of what other rappers refuse to talk about, in both real-life conversations and his music. "I'm trying to make in-depth music about things that matter to people and things that need a little more analysis." From political regime to breeding camps, Immortal Technique is knowledgeable in a plethora of areas, and is never afraid to vocalize his opinion, even when it comes to standing up to people in jail.
As he served a year bid, Immortal Technique stood up for a young man who was being targeted by two older men. A lot of people believe being gay stems from jail culture, a stance this political emcee doesn't side with. If anything, Immortal Technique feels trauma influences homosexuality, especially after hearing Antoine Dodson's story and knowing someone personally whose experience caused them to switch sides.
Immortal Technique also shares his thoughts on Creflo Dollar requesting (and later receiving approval for) a $65 million jet, classism, and Tom Hanks' son, Chet Haze, who feels it's okay to use the n-word although he's White. "You can't love hip-hop without loving the people that created it," he states, advising Chet Haze to do some research on the Black culture and fully submerge in it before he claims to be a part of a community he's long aspired to be in. "Learn something about us, because you can't just be along for the ride when you think it's cool to use that word."
Press play to hear his views on Barack Obama - a man he says "has the face of helping dreamers" -, going back to the hood after reaching a certain level of fame, and the political impact Tupac Shakur would've had if he were alive today on the latest episode of "The Vlad Couch." - Zábava
Finally, an interview I won't lose brain cells watching 😩
:)
"I'll let the mother have that conversation " Vlad so politically correct it make me sick.
wow, was never smart enough to get into his lyrics, but this interview... wow so fkn amazing!!
I know right
People is born Rapist And Child Molesters
Good and Bad's of being an Immortal Technique Fan
Bad
1. Distance between releases vs.typical mainstream artist
2. Trolls and uninformed people criticizing everything
3. Having to do hours of research to understand a lot of the lyrics you hear
4. Lack of presence compared to regular artist in concert settings
5. Having to find anything else musically that compares
Good
1. Being emotionally involved in not just music but historical facts
2. Amazing beats and rhymes
3. Knowledge
4. Not having to fear a weak/wack release of content
5. Wanting to be smart enough to comprehend the ill shit being rapped
6. Going to a concert were you feel the appreciation and respect for your choice in music
7. Having an opportunity to engage the artist after their show on multiple levels from talking to autographs to pictures
8. Not worrying you look ignorant when you're singing or rapping the lyrics of your favorite song.
9. Not worrying that if you share music with someone that you'll be looked down on in the future.
10.Knowing that one day you'll be a better human being for what you paid attention to musically
yo my dude, took the words right out my mouth
Well said
His music is ok but I'm not gonna say it's something incomparable
+Truey Lewis Bad 3 for me is actually a good thing i think. I sometimes find myself (not just with IT but with Akala and Lowkey swell) driving or just chilling and then suddenly pause and be like "so thats what that meant!" and I'm just in awe for the rest of the day.
i love researching it too! never heard of akala or lowkey swell but i'm gonna look them up now so thx!!! just found k-rino. sad because i've always liked tx music but dude is amazing!
Technique is a fucking prophet.
confidential puppet*
what do you mean puppet?
Everything he talks about is just to give attention to it. Give it more recognition
Southpaw, murderous methodology, nigga
Remember that I'm just a man, don't follow me, nigga
Not to discredit Vlad, but he sounds uneducated sitting next to Technique
most folks are
most folks know he is. the comments are about him and only him.
Jay Da King That’s cuz Immortal Technique is an intellectual.
Honestly 99.9% of people talking with immortal technique will look bad lol
Like all of us 🤣🤣🤣🤣
One of the best rap quotes in history.
"If the devil asks to dance with you
you better say never because a dance with the devil might last you forever"
Immortal technique, dance with the devil. Great powerful song
@ King Fox do you really think I.T. is really down with gatekeeping shitheaded personalities like you? The man referenced a legendary song by an amazing artist, It doesn't matter if he knows 1 or all his songs, that song is great and you damn well know that. So in the words of the great one " a machine shouldn't speak for men, so shut the fuck up you mindless drone."
@King Fox what?
This is why Immortal Technique has been and will always be my favorite rapper.
Sadly, not many people are willing to *really* listen..
Yeah he’s definitely one of the most underrated rappers ever. And he’s so pure in his message. Never showed weakness or been disingenuous
Vlad's annoying.
Immortal's a G.
I barely got into his music this past Saturday, but the more I learn about him, the more I see why he's not as prominent as he should be.
He speaks truth.
His truth's not mine, but it's truth nonetheless.
I like his message.
'Universal truth is not measured in mass appeal'
Jesus Christ is Truth!
no one said Jesus is God lolzZz. he said Jesus is truth, but i think he meant Yeshua Ben Yosef😝
Boy Jesus is a fictional character!
akvalues It is interesting to me how, when speaking of the original manuscripts, people can learn that Homer was written in 900 BC and there's only 643 original copies of those manuscripts, & most of those, written 500 years later. THE GALLIC WARS by Caesar? Over a time-span of a thousand year period, around 900 AD; number of manuscript copies? A mere 10! But, we don't argue with that, & no one says, "they never existed." Another example? Plato's TETRALOGIES: a 1200 year time-span, but we only have 7 copies of the manuscripts. 7! But, we don't question whether Plato ever existed. There is the Greek historian Herodotus: 8 original copies. Only 8! We don't question whether he existed. In the Bible, the New Testament? 24,000 of the original copies! yet people question whether or not if Jesus ever existed, yet there is MORE PROOF for the existence of Jesus than the existence of Plato, Homer, Caesar and Herodotus COMBINED!
immortal technique is probably the most influential and intellectual rapper.
K-Rino
Canibus
Akala
Lowkey
These boys drop straight woke shit
Knowledge is Power (k.i.p.)👊 Immortal Technique ✊
Intellectual perhaps, but not influential.
Tupac, Dr. Dre, Eminem, Eazy-E, Notorious B.I.G., Jay-Z, Will Smith, Nas, 50 Cent, R.A. the Rugged Man, DJ Quik, Proof, Ice Cube, The D.O.C, Sean Combs, Skepta, Big Pun, Slick Rick, Rakim, Melle Mel, Roots Manuva and Grandmaster Caz (just to name a few) are some examples of far more influential rappers.
I love Immortal Technique and have nothing but respect for him, but I wouldn't say he is "probably one of the most influential" rappers.
The Hip Hop Channel It really depends on the definition of the word. Does influential mean the magnitude of an individual impact or the quantity of people he reaches?
See Immortal Technique has influenced me as person. He has help me grow intellectually, that is powerful. 50 cent, is cool, but he hasn’t really changed me, he is just not that deep.
So, it really depends what you mean by influential.
Yeah a bunch of people might know 50 cent, but what has he affected in their life, he might not have influenced people to do something.
Where as Immortal might have only reached 1 percent of the audience that 50 has, but he might of changed those few individuals to think, to dare to question the system, to dream about revolutionary change, etc. That is what I would call influential.
The definition you are thinking about is merely, popular or famous. How many lesser known people are there with huge influence like Martin Luther King Jr. Or Che Guevara, or Marcus Arelius, or Nitchese, or the Apostle Paul. There are lesser known individuals now a days by the general population, but you can’t deny the profound impact they had, that is true influentialism at its core, regardless of how well known they might be.
You probably never "REALLY" listened to Chuck D, Mos Def, Rakim, NaS, Black Thought or KRS-One
Immortal Technique for President!
agree 😁😁🎓
+Dominic Monty trust me when I say I get exactly what you're saying....BUT it wouldn't be about the power he could implement but about the power within the people that lays dormant that would finally wake up. Peace.
+Dominic Monty when Tupac talked about NOT changing the world but sparking the brain in another to change the world, Immortal Technique has that same power. He can spark brains and ignite a movement with his knowledge and nuts.(pause)
+Dominic Monty Facts. For many reasons I.T would never get "sElected" into office of this country but I sure do wish people like lets say Jay Z, held a panel at the Barclay Arena and allowed I.T to speak......would really be dope if it gets the proper promo and gets aired on HBO or some shit. idk.....I know I'm all over the place but I just feel his message isn't heard by so many who really need to hear it.
+Dominic Monty I feel you... I would hate for that to happen and they would definitely make an attempt.
Immortal Technique, one of the few people I can listen to, music and interviews and not pause. He has so much knowledge yet does not have the issue most have. His words do not stray from the point, nor are there waste. He knows what needs to be said, he knows what is truth and what will be misconstrued.
Same. I can watch his interviews all day. Also a rapper you should check out if you haven't heard of is Akala. I can also listen to him all day. Very intelligent man.
Could listen to him dropping knowledge all day 💯📛
REAL TALK
Me too!
Watched the whole video so that says something
Facts
Same I always feel smarter when I listen to him talk or his music
i am so proud of all these intellectuals in Hip Hop. I keep the faith that the movement isn't sold out to the industry
Vlad is so ignorant next to Immortal Tech
Frankie Frank vald is a cock
Damn yall hate vlad so much but still watch his videos
Ignorant statement . Ignorant is a broad term. If you aren't knowledgeable, you aren't knowledgeable. But if you close your mind to something and refuse to learn, refuse to admit you may be wrong and refuse to change your opinion based on what you may learn, thats VOLUNTARY IGNORANCE, which is different than simply not knowing. Im not going to shit on someone for not knowing something. This isnt me trying to be insulting, just trying to make you think about something.
Naw, I’m a huge Immortal Technique fan but Immortal lost the communists discussion they were having at around 34:22 -36:25 min. Immortal Tech was like, naw your family just moved cuz of the weather!!! Vlad was just nice about it like “Sure”.
@@yeee4141 Pretty sure they are here for immortal technique interviews and not vlad
Good job Vlad less porn stars less dumbshit more truth!!! Respect to immortal technique
Zackari s. He's just doing it to get their numbers lol
Peoples War either way its better entertainment
yaaaass
+officer Owen Gotham city need help
Holy shit. So I just found out about Immortal Technique and I thought I'd look up one of his interviews because he struck me as being really fucking smart just from hearing one song. God damn. I'm a senior in college right now and I'm majoring in Global Studies. It covers a pretty broad range of things like global history, cultural identity, nationalism, capitalism, imperialism, colonialism, socialism, terrorism, international policies, the list goes on. So I know all these things to certain degree, but even then it's taken years just to grasp the true scope of what they mean or what they're talking about. And I'm having trouble keeping up with this guy, I'm mean it seems like he knows this shit like the back of his hand. Definitely the most eloquently spoken rapper I've heard
theeab1993 You gotta hear him on the Joe Rogan podcast, or Alex Jones, I'm convinced he has a photographic memory. Just uncanny how many facts, and things he can retain in his brain.
Thats what happens when you read alot
@@kingtutt880 where can I find him on Alex Jones podcast?
meet Priest too.
Man.. He is one of the wisest people on the planet. Deffinatley one of my biggest role models. Crazy how I share almost all the same views as him..
I respect immortal technique dude seems straight up honest and respectable
1:12:13 lmao. Vlad: ''Kanye west recently went out and said..'' Tech: Chuckling already
Immortal Technique knows more than many so called professors in college. Also, more than politicians and religious leaders. I love and respect what he stands for! He is NOT phony and has " cojones/balls" like Tupac had. He is gorgeous, courageous, informative, educated, direct, on point, honest and should be invited to the next Congressional Hearing of police brutally on people of color. Congressman Gutierrez suggested last year that the younger generation and the mothers/wives of people murdered of officers, should be invited to shed light on their painful experiences. I totally agree with him and could NOT understand why people, scholars, professors, victims or family members of those who died at the hands of officers. The communities need to be heard, and those who have the best interest in creating change for all parties involved so that CHANGE can happen. We all need each other.
Dont be so nieve. Technique's knowledge comes from the 'so called professors' in colleges, hes a reader.
Do I sense jealousy? Every intellectual person of course is a READER......
Rachael Matias
Yes, hence he does not know more than 'any so called professor'.
Dont taint such an important topic with your ignorance
I feel sorry for people like you. You must be a teen, right?
+DaboooogA of course but he speaks the truth what is gonna pull that info out his ass...he studies history and sees it for what it is
Immortal Technique is the master for putting all questions in context
Let me Tell you iv been front stage and back stage at his show. IV followed his music for 15 plus years. Hes a philanthropist. The most humble person IV ever met. He let me geek out and made me feel comfortable enough not to for the 30 minutes he spent speaking to a fan when he had a 2 hr ride home and just opened for JMT. To anyone with a negative mentality or statement to make. This man has opened an orphanage in Kabul. He has done some of the most profound work aside from rapping and talking but actually making a difference. He is so true to his words he wont even eat at a racist food joint on tour. Not even for a simple fucking water or cheese steak. This man is so deep that if you missed his words and music from his career from start to now n for him to mention the story of dance with the devil that was deep. He spoke on womens rights and everything in another clip of this interview. Hes revolutionary if you dont see it I cant show you. Watch his documentary maybe if you have not yet. He has never folded. Ever
Did you ever go down on him backstage?
@@hyeesdoa6063 😂💀
Faxts. He real af, No matter what the topic, he finna edukate yuu....
Imagine being able to just sit down and have a full on conversation with him🖤 He legitimately awakened me to the point where I take my education seriously.
The Middle Passage
The Martyr 2
Revolutionary Vol. 3
when?!?! please.
keep dreaming 😂😂😂
One of the only thing that I’m disappointed with in Immortal Technique. Nonetheless tho, if it comes out (if😂🤦🏽♂️) I’d be so happy.
Still waiting in 2018
Almost 2019
When he speaks!!! Whoa!!!
A lot of power in his voice when he speaks you gotta listen
I actually don't mind Vlad interviewing porn workers. They often have very interesting stories and life experiences that average people don't. I think dehumanizing or looking down on pornstars is discriminatory; we don't have to glamorize them but we don't need to hate them for making choices.
i know we all jack off to them than look down to them smh
its a cruel world
***** true
***** In my view, people who star in pornography aren't hurting anyone. They don't affect my life, so their acts have no meaning on my existence. It's just a form of entertainment, like TV or movies.
Tupac Shakur don't blame others for your addictions
Technique always drops straight knowledge
i can honestly put on my head phones at work, do work n just listen.. good stuff here. nothing gets better then this
Technique needs a podcast on the real
KRS one said that immortal technique is a revolutionary in hip hop who deserves mad 🙏 respect
Enjoyed his show in Riverside, CA. Super nice dude, got to say hi to him, wish I would've asked for a picture!
his throat chakra fully open.....💯
Immortal technique is my favorite rapper i went to one of his shows it was a great experience I was able to actually talk to him way before the show started before anybody showed up to the show I was there drinking at the bar he walk right by me and I said hey what's up he stopped he saluted me we started talking I took pictures with them and then after the show as well I spoke to him again he's a real down-to-earth very intelligent person very intellectual cool dude
Immortal Technique gives new meaning to the term, "Don't judge a book by its cover". Highly intelligent young man...who was once incarcerated....that can CLEARLY see society for what it TRULY is from a political and racial standpoint....and can explain it ACCURATELY from a historical standpoint. Great interview. SALUTE!
More of Immortal Technique!
Immortal Technique is a real one. I truly admire his love of learning. He has a lot of knowledge. I'm glad that someone with such an important message to spread, decided to make music.
Drop knowledge so heavy it leaves the world unbalanced
thank you for uploading this entire thing Vlad
I have the exact same glasses tech is wearing. Not only do I like his music, but I like his intelligence and knowledge on many areas. much appreciation and RESPECT.!
The man choosing to be with a wife and a family doesn't mean his attraction to men is gone. That's not the truth.
Correct but, if that step into being Gay was forced through rape and abuse it won't ever become an honest reality with that person, only ever a mask.
Comparing that to a comfortable environment where one can fully explore and understand their own sexuality is just disgusting and disingenuous outside of the belittling that was expressed in sharing that sentiment.
If Immortal Technique would've released more albums with the same type of historical truth knowledge he is famous for in his hip hop he for sure would have gotten himself assasinated by the DOD. I am just one person and listening to his rhymes literally played a role in my matureness and knowlegde of world history. I would listen to a rap verse and he always makes history references in his rhymes, I would then immediately research those references online and bam!!! Next thing you know I am feeding my brain real knowledge. Immortal Technique is a powerful rapper/poet/revolutionary bro real talk, a true Ernesto Che Guevara of his time, instead of war he uses music. I'll leave you with this verse from one of many gems Immotal has written, yall ain't ready for this lol!
" I want fifty-three million dollars for my calloused hands
Like the Bush administration gave to the Taliban
And fuck packing grams, nigga, learn to speak and behave!
You want to spend twenty years as a government slave?
Two million people in prison keep the government paid
Stuck in a six-by-eight cell, alive in the grave
I was made by revolution to speak to the masses
Deep in the club, toast the truth. Reach for your glasses
I'll burn an orphanage just to bring heat to you bastards
Innocent deep in a casket-Colombian fashion
Intoxicated off the flow like thug's passion
You motherfuckers will never get me to stop blasting
You're better off asking Ariel Sharon for compassion
You're better off begging for twenty points from a label
You're better off battling cancer under telephone cables
Technique chemically unstable, set to explode
Foretold by the dead sea scrolls written in code
So if your message ain’t shit, fuck the records you sold!
'Cause if you go platinum, it's got nothing to do with luck
It just means that a million people are stupid as fuck
Stuck in the underground, a general that rose to the limit
Without distribution managers, a deal, or a gimmick
Revolutionary Volume 2 murder the critics
And leave your fucking body rotting for the roaches and crickets"
Industrial Revolution is one of my favorite songs by him. I love the 2nd verse
I've been listening to immortal tech since 2003 but only recently started listening to his interviews. I knew he was smart because of his lyrics and topics, but his interviews are so good! He's much smarter than I realized. He could help so much if he got into politics or some form of government administration as well.
If you try to change the system from within, it is not you who will change the system, it is the system who will change you
The realest, most informative rapper I've ever listened to. Someone who wants TRUE change for not only his people, but everyone who's struggling due to the classism that exists within our nation.
the way he laughed when vlad said caitlyn jenner was funny af 😂😂
"The sad part is when someone tells you that they can tell you the truth about yourself and they don't even know you."
Damn he rapped after having a fucking root canal. I don't think people realize how dedicated and influential he is. One of my idols.
Air Control "don't follow me nigga I'm just a man " - Immortal Technique
No idols just a human like the rest of us god gates idols and idol worshipping
Great interview, immortal tech is one of the best, most eloquent speaking and educated communicator within hip-hop right now. I didn't say the best, one of them but I became a fan from this interview and even more of a fan once I heard his music.
I love this man. He speaking power.
I literally just let out a scream of joy at 1am because when I typed in “Immortal Technique interview” i did not expect to find a clad interview.
People will compete with him rather than listening and applying the information because our egos try to compete with other human beings.
I would love to sit with immortal tech and just talk for hours
Americans be like "Universal healthcare, making sure workers aren't getting abused, what is this communism?" smfh
Jordan Daley So what do u think about Universal Healthcare?
Jordan you're an idiot
+Mandingo Gringo Universal healthcare exists in almost every single developed country apart from the US. The con is making you believe it can't.
fuck a ceo they do less work than a janitor. when were all dead the suits and paperwork won't mean shit, alienoids will be looking at sewers and roadtracks like hyroglyphs
Exactly. Americans have been indoctrinated to gleefully accept their unending disenfranchisement and unending struggle by regurgitating coporate think tank talking points instead of doing research.
yea, The Middle Passage with Premo & 9th Wonder + SP sounds promising
+Mak Corleone what's SP??
i think i meant MP (Middle Passage)
i cant remember lol
+rodenrren2 SP=SouthPaw, one of Immortal's producers.
What he said about being an artist and touring constantly to show people you're a national professional act, never miss a show, some one the realest shit I've heard in a very long time. Much respect to the artists who are constantly touring and performing, this business is the toughest out there. Immortal Technique is the fuckin man.
This dude is special and should be on bigger platforms he has to be one of the most intelligent entertainers ive ever listened to.
I'm in love with his mind and truth.
I was introduced to Immortal Technique in high school back in 2003.. and his music has been a staple in my life ever since. There hasn't been a period in my life where his lyrics haven't resonated with me in some way. I still have his Industrial Revolution Vol. 1 & 2 on CD 💿
Ok Vlad, you the MVP for the day.
Joe Rogan needs to interview this man.
he has but he should do it again. it’s on spotify idk about here
@@SaucyMan-df5mw I didnt catch that episode at the time since it goes way back. You're right though.
We need a Lord Jamar Vs Immortal Technique debate
who tf is lord jamar
he is like flava flav without the entertainment
That would be dope
I would love to hear them both speak. They are both direct, and they have balls to speak truth.
+agent FBI from a 90s hip hop group called grand nubian. very opinionated and constantly on vlad interviews
Immortal technique! What?! Best interview ever. Its 6am rn and i just finished the interview. Great points and awsome arguments. He practices what he talks about and its dope
Thank you vlad for bringing Technique here !!!!!!
Bro tech is literally my role model
Same
Big up Technique! This is a great in depth interview. Thanks :)
Humble Philosopher i love your profile picture
Best interview ! 🔥
Glad to see this dude on vlad
this guy is preaching to the choir with his music, dude needs to expand as an artist.
Nobody needs to do anything they dont want to
One of the best interviews. Tech You the man
pleade tell him to release more songs... been waiting for so long
This is one of the most insightful interviews Vlad. This felt like Vice News.
In 1996-97 was the end of positive messages in rap coincidently after 2pac died. All rap music has been about ever since was about money, material, baller status, partying, doing drugs and murder. You will never see any real positive music on mainstream media. Support immortal technique and underground talent because there are many talented people that are unrecognized and deserve more recognition than these mainstream rappers.
One of the Realest interviews ever
At 28:00 in the interview, i swear Immortal Technique is a Prophet.
*illuminati has left the chat*
Immortal Technique has a lot of knowledge which he poured down on his records, he is very creative, definitely an inspiration. Guys, underrated things are the best things in the world. It's sad how many people would run to buy lil wayne albums which no more themes than money,women than Tech's masterpieces.
Damn man, you made me late to a meeting i was so tuned in...
i love this guy
***** you are the only one thinking of it in a gay manner
I thought it was a mini clip about 1:42 min, than realize it's 1 hour 42 min, nice.
A wise man. He's got the knowledge💯💯💯
I like how tech is getting all cozy by the fire
Would love to see a convo with him, vlad, and Lord Jamar
+Nathaniel Termin Thank you! SO MUCH!
Jamar isn't in the same class as Tech. To be fair tho, very few people are.
Tech's reaction to Kanye West before Vlad even continue with what he said made me chuckle.
This got brains all day n music's amazingly informative
damn tech performing after a root canal you really are dedicated #respect
With all the stuff he talks about in his albums, no wonder it takes ages to create. Respect from Croatia.
the middle passage is the next detox lol
It’s hard going from a jaydayoungin interview to this lol this is legit
a true role model thats cool as well as smart. so happy I got to see him live and the world would be a much smarter place if he was in charge. much respect bro
I was always told “immortal was to aggressive and his lyrics are fucked up “ I’m like, alright
when is your album dropping? i Been waiting for so long that my chair broke
3 yrs of school history curriculum packed into an hr
Vlad got my respect bro love ya interviews!
Vlad always sounds like he just woke up
The look on his face when they brought up the hide your kids hide your wife dude! Lol
Technique is a brilliant brother and hands down the smartest rapper ever........
He needs to publish that book of short stories soon
Took me 45 mins to realize the fire is green screened
Good news for Immortal Technique fans! The middle passage is coming out the same week as Detox and the DOOMstarks album.
when???
agent FBI It was a joke. Dr Dre's detox album was supposed to be out years ago as was the Ghostface Killah and MF DOOM album DOOMstarks. All 3 of the albums seem unlikely to come out any time soon.
I only know who's doom. The rest idc about, but i guess if immortal technique is taking long to release his new album it's because it's gonna be good. Good things take time
Love the shirt. GJJ represent!
Who the fuck lights a fire in the middle of the day, in august, while the sun is still out?
Immortal technique gives full story about a sun vs the wind to state something
Vlad: let's talk about Tupac
Come on Vlad! That was a great story.
