Felipe Coronel (born February 19, 1978), better known as Immortal Technique, is a hip-hop artist and political activist. He is also currently the President and A&R of Viper Records. Originally from Peru.

Many of his songs focus on social justice, covering a wide variety of topics such as urban poverty in the US and international economic inequality (especially in Latin America)… , protest against the imprisonment of Mumia Abu-Jamal (who has voiced several interludes for Immortal Technique’s music), militarism and the military industrial complex in the US, media bias in favor of conservative and corporate interests, and racism (especially in regards to the mistreatment of people of color in the US).

Although he has been offered a deal with at least one major music label, he has yet to sign with any, over alleged disagreements that they have over the political content of his songs. Immortal Technique has also voiced a desire to keep control over his production, and has made statements in his music that he is very aware that it is record companies, not the artists themselves, who profit the most from mass production and marketing of music.

Biography

.. which only says he didn't have any say in the matter? Had he stayed there, we wouldn't have Immortal Technique to begin with. So, I'd try to think about the positive rather than the imaginary negative. He even raps in spanish, he reps his background, he reps Harlem hard because he grew up there. And damn wasn't Harlem in the early 80's kind of like Peru? When you think political rap the 1st that comes to mind is Tech, plus crazy stories that reflect the world today. I can't find the faults you see in him that 99% of other rappers probably share. His positives out weigh the negative so much, imo.

i used to love his music & jus tried to ignore the constant woman-hating and queer-hating, but i'm so fucking sick of it... not to mention he doesn't do shit for the hood. dope sound, impressive flow, but my overall conclusion: dude's a macho fake revolutionary who fronts way too much.

some of the best beats and messages i've ever heard in hip hop. my only concern is what the fuck happened with the 3rd world? can anyone shed some light on what went wrong with that piece of shit? didn't think immortal would ever change his sound like that.. sounds like a shitty version of jedi mind tricks meets radio hip hop. i cried a little when i had my first listen. revolutionary 1 & 2 are still the jams.

"i used to like this guy, now i don't. he thinks too much of himself, and then he hypocritically speaks out against racism and discrimination whilst calling other rappers dick-sucking homos in rap offs. much rather listen to akala." theres a bit of a difference between freestyle lyrics and song lyrics u dumb fuck. freestyles/battles are meant to insult/shut down the opponent, hence the name calling. ur an idiot

"i used to like this guy, now i don't. he thinks too much of himself, and then he hypocritically speaks out against racism and discrimination whilst calling other rappers dick-sucking homos in rap offs. much rather listen to akala." The fact you used the phrase "rap offs" goes to show you shouldn't ever discuss hip-hop.
