Felipe Andres Coronel (born February 19, 1978), better known by the stage name Immortal Technique, is an American rapper and activist. Most of his lyrics focus on controversial issues in global politics, from a radical left-wing perspective.
I've always thought he was cringe as a rapper but respect to him no notes on this speech fr
Cringe? His lyrics woke me up as a teen, to the whole worldwide drug trade and its ties with politics.
In a third-world fascist state, lock the nation With 90% of the wealth in 10% of the population The Central Intelligence Agency takes weight faithfully The finest type of China white and cocaine you'll see Honey I'm home, nevermind why our bank account's suddenly grown It's funny, we're so out of this debt from this money we owe Woulda ya mind if I told you I had two governments overthrown To keep our son enrolled in a private school, and to keep ya tummy swollen C'mon, our fuckin' home was built on the foundation of bloody throats The hungry stolen of they souls, of course this country's runnin' coke I took a stunted oath to hush the one's who know But CIA conducts the flow of these young hustlers who lust for dough
“”Cringe””??
I dunno, he rhymed "75 years" with "75 years" like 12 times.
JK/LOL- this may be his best recorded free-style.
is that better or worse than famous dex's "hoes mad" x24?
He did attend the same college as Vin Diesel and Lin Manuel Miranda, at least he took his artistic cringe in a different direction.

please give example of cringe
Sincerity is basically the definition of cringe. It's why cringing-culture is useful for stifling overt messages in art
Now there's players out there, talking bout their holdins
With bugs in they house like they down south with windows open
This line from Peruvian Cocaine lives in my mind forever.
No irony, I truly love it
Come on, it's in his fucking name lol
I think this slaps (general CW, r word)
Great now im gonna be spending today on a Technique binge
It slaps. Cringe is all relative. Why is the Overton Window way over there?
