      Reminded me of a story a bible teacher told in high school. Dude was with friends and came up on a couple parking, they beat up the guy and went to rape the girl. Dude got on girl and her sweater came down off her face and it was dude's sister. He ended up in jail and sister killed herself. No clue what the point in being told that was or what was being taught, but it stuck with me apparently.

      The way he switches up the final chorus to end the song on "If the devil wants to dance with you, you better say never because a dance with the devil might last you forever" is similarly haunting. Its so punctual and does such a perfect job of summing up the theme of the entire song

    It’s crazy to me that in 2017, there’s still hip hop heads that haven’t heard this song. I remember I first heard this in high school, 06-07, somewhere around then, at a time when I wasn’t really into hip hop, but hearing this song shook me. A bunch kids in class debated the song, some didn’t like his flow, some didn’t like the beat, some were tripped out by the subject matter, but everybody who heard it was captivated by it. Whether it’s your thing or not, that’s what art is supposed to do. Captivate you, and take you to another place for a short period of time. This song is definitely a classic, no doubt about that.

Immortal is my favorite rapper by a long shot!! Saw him a couple times in Cali, and he's a real revolutionary!! Built schools in Afghanistan with his own momey and zero corporate sponsors. He is what all the other rappers think they are

      I just want to say that many of the greatest songs in all genres are unrecognized or from unrecognized artists, which is why all genres of music are worth investing in. Real music is a beautiful thing.
      I'm actually attempting to immerse myself in hip hop and invest in the genre for the first time, as the mainstream sources throughout my lifetime have been largely underwhelming, but just from my experiences with other genres, and the old days of NBA 2K when they almost exclusively used underground hiphop and I found several gems, I knew there had to be good hip-hop out there. This being one example.

    I've been listening to rap since I was 14 (now almost 40) and I've heard this masterpiece million times. But it's always the same god damn feeling. Gut-wrenching . And I'm not even from the 'hood' (slavic country, but it was rough in 80's and 90's, we had our own versions of Billy Jacobs). And my mom passed away many years ago. But still when listening to last verses, my throat clenches. Needless to say, I've been listening to Immortal Technique since. I will always put him in my top 5 rappers of all time! And the fact he never sold his ass to corporate world just ads to his 'realness'.

    I was 13 when this song first started buzzing and I heard it, and it changed my life. I was a good kid. I grew up in the hood, and after this song , I analysed ever step I took. Before this song i could of followed a friend into something because I was blinded by " loyalty ". This song is a lesson that some have to live a live of pain,violence and hardship to understand.
    And Immortal technique is still slept on. He's one of the best rappers of all time in my opinion. With me, and rappers messages is important, but even without that, his ability and talent speaks for itself. If you haven't heard " you never know " check it out. Its another one of his songs where he tells a story. Its my favorite " love song ", and its bigger than music just like dance with the devil is.

He was a member of a gang, I can't remember the name because it's been years since I have honestly listened to his stuff. There is every possibility it was true tho.
    I started listening to Technique when I was like 15 (7 years ago), and I remember getting shit for it because the people around me didn't consider it as rap because a lot of his tracks sound like him just telling a story.

    I always pictured the moaning in the first two hooks is foreshadowing the mother seeing her son moaning with her broken jaw. You can see this is a possibility as he is about to kill her/ sees her the chorus changes to Prodigy sample that says: "I fallen and I can't turn back".
    This is dark, but it is really good story telling and what I consider art. It just makes you not want to say it is because how dark it is, but what I always thought: If a character makes you feel emotion, then he is essential to the story.
    Immortal Technique also admitted this never happen but more focus on the grim reality that does happen to people and their human nature.

      QBusy It's the Requiem for a Dream of hip hop songs. Disturbing indeed.

      Good comparison! Totally fucks you up. Walk away with a lesson.
      I will NEVER do heroin, and when the devil wants to dance with me I know to say NEVER!

      Or the Serbian Film of hip hop songs. Requiem For A Dream is my favorite movie of all time, but is like a Disney movie compared to the extremely disturbing & sad level that A Serbian Film/Serbian Film is on. It scarred me for life, no joke.

      Funny Games was the film equivalent for me (the original German version). Fucked my shit up.

    I was one of the 1st persons in the world to hear this song over 15 years ago when I worked for Immortal techniques promo street team.
    It amazes me that 15 years later the new generation is making reaction videos to immortal techniques music.

      I still have a video on my channel of a news report in the uk where something like this actually happened.
      This is a true story. Immortal technique didn't rape or kill anyone himself but these F'd up things do happen in this world.

    Hearing this song for the first time was definitely shocking to the core. Lyrics that haunted my mind for a long time.

    Lol that "Wtf..." thought bubble edit tho. From Ryan's reaction as he was following the lyrics he was prolly thinking "damn.." or "that's crazy.." like you could see he was immersed in the story. Looks like George has to follow-up with some uplifting music cuz that is a fuck your day up starter kit.

    I liked how they paused the music before they talked to not ruin the atmosphere of the story u know
