2758088, Nah. No shade on The Roots though.

2758009, Its easy to write with no breath control or multi syllabic rhyming

I used to like Immortal, but he's an exhausting listen. Same slow cadence, same tone, same schtick. Its like a spoken word poet over really shitty beats.
2758087, However, most multi syllabic rappers don't rap about shit.

And I ain't mad at Immortal when he's not sounding choppy with his flow, which he doesn't on this
particular song.

tech is actually very good at picking beats. not sure what you've been listening to.
2758086, For the combination of lyrics, consciousness, and ideology

just about nothing is fucking with that outside of some Wise Intelligent shit or Kendrick Lamar's Hiipower.

With a song like the one in reply #1, no shade on The Roots but that joint is just niggas rappin'
all willy nilly about random shit, so I can't say it's seeing Industrial Revolution... lyrical prowess
around a powerful and focused idea.
2758108, imo both revolutionary vol 2 and 3rd world are classics
