This rapper, Immortal Technique, uses his alure to young impoverished kids who think it's cool to join gangs informing them of the horrible truth of
the horrors and abuses they would face as gang members. His vocabulary inspires young rappers to become educated themselves. His melodies recall
familiar rappers in the past while putting a new spin on rhythm. His rhyme builds on inner warped feelings of joining stretching them until shattering
them with his final lines.
Warning this contains mature content not advisable for children under the age of gang membership.

First let me say I don't like most Rap songs.
This one on the other hand has a great message.
Second, I do not see how this will prevent kids from joining gangs, many kids feel they are immortal and untouchable, because of the way we as a
society treat them.
Star and Flag nonetheless. Good find now make it go viral.
"speaking" isn't the only way immortal technique "Touches" kids.....
why I'm glad someone speaks up about this stuff IT isn't a role model il be introducing to anyone in my life.
greydon square on the other hand. similar ideas brought about in a much classier and easier to swallow way, no less raw either.
not trying to hate on IT but why force yourself to the uncomfortableness that is IT and his gruesome music when there is other avenues to get you to
the same thought zones but a much more relaxed trip.
