techniques the last guy i thought would do this, not only cause hes modeling expensive ass clothes, but just cause hes modeling clothes period, and in playboy. it just surprises me cause he talks so much about being revolutionary and shit and then does this, but maybe he feels justified since he does have a book in his right hand... so i guess the revolution continues...

i dont care what he is doing or what he is modeling,if he is in playboy thats huge for him...even a "revolutionary" couldnt pass up an opputunity like that,glad he took the chance...for every fan he probably lost to "sellin out"he gained like 10 more,his message will just get to that much more ppl,so yes,the revolution will continue

"trying to fight the system from inside eventually corrupts you, but that's what you get when you put a corporation above you" - Immortal Technique

so because he posed in a Playboy magazine he proved that he's full of shit? interesting.

the fact that hes in playboy isnt the big deal (although we could take the whole degradation of women angle, which technique comes across as being against). it just surprises me that a guy who talks about the things he talks about, like the economy for one thing, would wear and endorse a t-shirt that costs 275 dollars. it just supports the whole rich get richer - poor get poorer system that he raps to be so much against. i understand this gets him more exposure, but i still think its pretty contradictory to the content of his music. i just hope this isnt a sign of an immortal technique whos main concern is to make the rich - himself - richer rather than act on what he preaches. i wont stop listening to his music, cause its tight and has a good message, but it does make me see him in a different light

dont understand what his race has to do with anything but anyway...like i said,for every person like you that thinks he sold out,he gained like 10 more ppl that will get his message.wether its a gimmick or not,his message is what he wants you to hear in the end anyway.if he can get more to do so whats wrong with that?

you dont "believe" him? what is there to believe? you listen to his music and take what you want from it,you dont have to believe in him to understand or respect what he has to say...i dont believe half the rappers that say they got millions of dollars,thats a gimmick too,but just cause i dont believe them doesnt mean i'm not going to listen to them,i take the music for what is

i honestly dont agree with all of IT's ideas and beliefs but you dont see me comin on here rippin him for it.

TECH IS BLACK (WEST INDIAN) AND PERUVIAN, I FIND NOTHING WRONG WITH HIM BEING IN PLAYBOY, MALCOLM X WAS NO SELL OUT AND HE WAS IN PLAYBOY. THIS JUST COMES TO SHOW YOU THAT HE'S MAKING A NAME FOR HIMSELF.
