Yet here the track sits, nestled in amongst a collection of hardboiled and reverent hip hop vignettes that tackle a spectrum of issues in caustic and spectacular fashion. Although it does point to inner city issues and is a superb example of the rapper's ability at classically-constructed rhymes and storytelling ability, it is also transgressive and engineered to shock in a somewhat cheap way, particularly when compared to his usual output which dives into real, topical issues to create the same, if not a surpassing, level of disquiet. As powerful and important as the track is, however, it is not the best representation of the artist's body of work. Perhaps somewhat unfairly, Tech became best known for his political standing and his devastating ode to a gangster's remorse, 'Dance With The Devil'. As a figurehead for political hip hop, Immortal Technique has put a gargantuan amount of effort into imbuing all of his releases with an integrity that reflects the mindset and views of the outspoken critic he is at heart.
