Bush, Technique delivers his message with a more commercially palatable hip-hop approach than Mr. Criticizing critics, coffee shop revolutionaries, Fox News, Bill O'Reilly, John Ashcroft and George W. Whether rapping about the dark atmosphere of his adopted hometown ('Harlem Streets'), questioning the true nature of the artist's voice ('Freedom of Speech'), airing his issues with the media ('The 4th Branch') or simply claiming to be 'the best of both worlds/ Without the hidden camera and the 12-year-old girl' ('Obnoxious'), Immortal Technique's magnetic delivery makes every song a joy to listen to. Referencing biblical passages with the emotion of someone who reads and believes them (unlike Vinnie Paz of Jedi Mind Tricks), IT is somehow believable in his radical position.
Born in a military hospital in South America and sent to jail for more than a year for an altercation with a white man, IT's hoodlum mentality seems slightly more authentic than most anyone else in the underground (baring Bumpy Knuckles).
