THE 3RD WORLD (2X12 LP)
2x12 Inch LP
14.01.22
repress - immortal technique, the most radical revolutionary rap lyricist to hit wax, combines with green lantern and a gang of like-minded mcs to produce the 3rd world, a furious mixtape which is perhaps immortal techniques best work to date. the title track is a compelling summary of all the harlem rapper has proclaimed in his past verses, as he reworks jay-zs *where i m from* into a scathing diagnosis of the state of the world in the 21st century. tech also breaks down the power structures behind nyc gentrification on *harlem renaissance*, deconstructs accepted understandings of pimp on *reverse pimpology*, and examines corporate privatization on *open your eyes*. violent, angry, and unabashedly challenging, the 3rd world is everything hardcore hip-hop should be.
