4:18
like real Incognito I guess this kind of the era where you know I guess you ain't want to really show that you was white like that
4:24
you know what I'm saying he don't want to show that you was white
4:30
you outside in a certain era I'm just saying it was what it was at the time like like as a white as a white boy in
4:35
Hip Hop at the time you had to go the extra mile which is why he presents
4:41
himself how he does now which is why he's so Elite cuz he had to go the regular route then plus the oh y'all
4:47
font on me cuz I'm a white boy all right so he had to turn up turn up you know what I'm saying so so he outside and
4:53
stuff and so everybody's battling and [ __ ] and everybody was trying to get at
4:58
Z but Z was like nah I ain't trying to battle I ain't trying to battle Y battle my man you know what I'm saying and my
5:04
man karate Joe rest in peace flat flat was Brooklyn yeah my man karate Joe that's my big homie if any of y'all know
5:10
the scene from back in the day karate Joe that [ __ ] was a bouncer that [ __ ] was a backup singer that [ __ ] was a
5:17
stickup kid and that [ __ ] rap you know what I'm saying typical
5:22
[ __ ] multitask yeah he was he was a renaissance man of the era you feel me and he was a freestyle
5:30
Sant you know what I mean so off the top Frey off off the top is what I'm talking
5:35
about but that was the era where most of us all everybody was off the top everybody had to and if you wasn't off
5:40
the top you had to act like you was going off the top you still had the front you know what saying yeah what was that right there Ginger shot did he just take a ginger I took oh okay my bad
5:48
blizzard spring waterer from WB Masons they they sponsor that was what
5:54
was in the fridge okay but yeah so now so you know this the everybody trying to battle so m m step up the battle my man
6:00

6:05
cigarettes cigarettes cigarettes loose they was battling for loose cigarettes
6:11
on the corner Lafayette and hon you come a long way come
6:16
along if em is watching Quest the Mad lad wants a rematch all
6:22
right Quest was don't he wants a rematch Quest the man
6:27
was fire but yeah so karate Eminem on the corner of Broadway of hon and they
6:33
just and it was a back and forth like it was like it was like Wimbledon on steroids you know what I'm saying just
6:38
kept going boom kept going and there was you know this is back of the day there's no time limits no nothing we going to rhyme until there's nothing else to talk
6:45
about uhhuh you know what I'm saying and and they they they went at it for like at least 45 minutes on that corner if
6:53
not probably more probably longer than that you feel me and it was it was just a dope moment to be a part of because
7:00
nobody knew what that was going to transpire into who was going to do what and all of that stuff it was just what it was like you know I mean we were all
7:07
just like kids you understand I'm saying but yeah but that was it was just a dope
7:12
moment to witness who won I'm yo I I'mma say I this is a long time ago
7:19
save it for the documentary save it for the documentary I'm say this poison pen Godfather battle rap now I'm I'mma say
7:24
this I'm going say this I'mma say this when I when I spoke about this on the um on my man's on my man Tiger's
7:31
podcast right shout out to Tiger shout out to Tiger Uppercut podcast and all I was up there with a Salomon when I spoke
7:36

7:42
hit me up and he was like yo karate Joe won that [ __ ] I didn't I don't remember
7:48
you know I honest this is a long time ago I'm like I just remember the the feeling and the energy I can't quote a
7:53
bar this is yeah this is many blunts and Bottles ago you feel me you know what I'm saying but Breeze was like nah
8:01
karate Joe got it and I'm like all I just remember thinking nobody died that's all I can say but yeah so yeah
8:07
shout out to M shout out to karate Joe rest in peace you know what I'm saying shout to young Joe rest in peace karate Joe poison pin is here Immortal
8:14
Technique is here as well how ironic is it though the reason why I brought that
8:19
up is that we are all gathered here today in 2025 on Shade 45 that same
8:24
white boy put that hood on we at we on his on this station like who would see
8:30
how see how it all it all just go Circle man guarante and W battle and one W but
8:39
by Eminem he won he won shout out to the shout out to the Bro M man for real and
8:44
and we all somebody he look up to you know what I mean somebody he admires
8:49
poison pen did you think battle rap would take it this far nah right not at
8:55
all people making real livings off of battle rap yeah and and it's been a part of my life most of my life so it's it's
9:01
wild to even think about what we helped build and what we helped mold into the Juggernaut that it became because it was
9:08
it was just how we expressed ourselves you know what I'm saying and we all do music and stuff like that was just one of the aspects you know what I'm saying
9:15
like but uh you know but thanks to people like my brother pumpkin head and all that you know come to find out you
9:21
know we had a knack for you know you know for for picking talent and putting together great matchups and then and
9:28
involved the what involved in today with you know it started with the grind time thing remember that you know URL smack
9:35
King of the dot uh ARP uh I'm losing what the hell ARP uh yeah them W raw bre
9:44
entertainment my rbe okay you an aren of the ringen of the Ring Queen of
9:51
the Ring shout to Debo and vague eye battle shout shouts to Alex Luther you know I mean uh Calico he got he he just
9:57
started his his the black Mafia so it's like and it just it just morphed into a
10:04
whole industry that and honestly we had no idea was going to turn like that man
10:09
we that's yeah that's the lane that we all pretty much came through and just cultivated you know what I mean that's why I met him yeah he was hosting one of
10:16
the battles and he was like who who are you and I'm just like I got out I just got out came home I want to battle I
10:22
don't care who it is and I think the beautiful thing about what you mentioned is even though somebody like breeze who's a legend could say this person and
10:28
this person one back in the day there was no judges so if you held your own you were respected it doesn't and it
10:35
didn't matter listen I seen a little girl jump in a cphon 2 and smoke somebody and people were forced to
10:40
respect it it was really just about skills it was the most uh talent-based thing that we have now and I think the
10:47
the the issue is that in battle rap that is the Fuller soap to use a Biblical reference that reveals old things cuz
10:53
you can't fake that talent in Hip Hop there me and finesse were talking about this before there's no Gatekeepers so if
10:59
we see Brandford marcelus on stage next to a [ __ ] that just started playing the trumpet yesterday there
11:06
they're not seen as equivalent they're not seen as equal people but somebody that just decided to rap yesterday and
11:12
has a pro tool setup but has an industry plant link you can be put on the same pedestal and be somewhere in the same
11:18
link according to the public as a person that's been a staple and been a part of the culture for 30 years but in battle
11:25
rap that is not significant because you will get torched okay you will embarrassed your family lineage will
11:31
come to an end if you get up there and it's not like before where only the winner gets paid in my era only the
11:37
winner got paid that means out of the 16 man tournament 15 [ __ ] was going home with nothing broke but now
11:44
it's more like boxing where hey if you lose a boxing fight it's not like you don't get paid you get your ass whipped
11:50
but you you still got paid dein Haney he got paid right okay everyone who loses a boxing match you get paid so it doesn't
11:57
matter what the case is and I respect that about the culture but I think the one beautiful thing about it it's still
12:03
the place that reveals pure skill it is still the last Bastion of free speech
12:08
and that's why my brother poison pen and I have been working on a documentary about that with IC tea so big shout out
12:14
to IC te me and this brother have been working behind the scenes trying to collect some footage and and and get us
12:20
the type of documentary that people have never seen about that and if there's someone that I know that knows battle rap the way that Einstein knew physics
12:28
it's this brother right here so I me I appreciate that his the history and
12:33
everything you know what I mean like I'm not as hands on with the current scene as much cuz you know life be lifing okay
12:39
and sometimes you got to sometimes you got to step back doing this your like like we ain't been doing this five years
12:45
10 years we've been doing this all of the years yeah man so sometimes you got to to keep the Love sometimes you
12:51
got to step back and from a distance y'all collaborated on projects too right I mean I'm
13:00
every album I probably had but I mean I I met the brother through battle rap um
13:06
someone else that used to watch my battles and then hit me up later was of course one of my one of my legendary
13:11
Inspirations and I want to send a rest in peace to the late great Chino Excel that was like you know what I mean the
13:19
the the the Obi-Wan Kenobi to to my Luke Skywalker and I appreciate that brother
13:25
and his had his second birthday the other day so shout to his puppy
13:30
and I just want to say um you know I I learned a lot from that struggle and I also I'm appreciative to that scene cuz
13:37
it gave me the capability to be able to out here be out here um selling independent music and I just remember
13:43
how much visualization and how much exposure it gave people but also how much it showed me about the actual
13:50
business of hip hop right and it came to the point where I said well man and we covered this yesterday um you could get
13:56
a record deal and still not have nothing to do and I always thought man this is
14:01
showing me that having a booking agent and just being on the road and being places is more important than being locked into a contract with somebody and
14:08
and from that I It enabled me to focus a lot more on the live performance and a
14:14
lot of times it's like in battle rap You Can't Rap along with your vocals homie you got to rap naked now and it's it's
14:21
literally just about the pure skill of it and it's like I said before it's also the last Bastion of free speech you know
14:27
what I mean if you want to be offensive you want to be misogynist you want to be racist you could do all that you have to
14:32
reap the consequences of what that does after the battle but you can say anything in there and it is 100% legit
14:39
you just have to make it funny so in that sense it's just like comedy if there's a punchline great then you are a
14:45
legend like Dave Chappelle if it's not funny and it's just bigoted then you are Michael Richards and people want you to
14:52
get the hell off stage because there's no punchline to the joke it has to be artistic you can make it offensive as as
14:59
long as it is Artistic and as long as it brings someone to the conclusion that you are more skilled than this
15:04
individual anything goes so if you don't want to get your feelings hurt and you don't want to be emotionally scarred
15:10
maybe origami is for you I'm and I'm not saying that because I don't know how to make origami I love
15:17
origami and I love and I love chess and I I'll knock your teeth out if you don't like that about me because I tell people
15:24
all the time one thing that I always appreciate about all of my friends is that none of us down play our
15:29
intelligence because we grew up in the era in New York and I do not know how it is for the Asian in the white Community
15:35
uh but I've heard that it's very similar in some places but in the black and Latino Community unfortunately when I
15:41
grew up there was this stigma that if you were smart you were soft so as per the people that were smart and refused
15:48
to back down I was one of those people that knew all the star all the Star Wars characters but I can still choke you out
15:54
and I'm still nice with the hands it was like I'm going to be who I am and I'm apologetic about that so we should not
16:01
be ashamed of being intelligent should not be ashamed of being the best version that we are just because we look uncool
16:07
to somebody you know what's uncool being on the same corner for 50 years and never seeing the world not having the
16:12
passport not taking care of your folks not taking care of your kids not taking care of your responsibilities as a man
16:18
that's not cool but you liking what the [ __ ] you like whether it's Lord of the Rings or whether it's the wire that's
16:25
cool love what you love be who you are and remember that you're loved even
16:30
though you don't love yourself Immortal Technique godam the doors of the church
16:36
are open poison pin uhhuh I love it tonight at so's happy born my brother I
16:44
don't know if I ever celebrated a born day with you man thank you man as a as a birthday president you played a song
16:50
that you ain't never played on this station don't say that [Music]
16:55
man play now all right it's in heavy rotation it's like that that thing on
17:02
Hot 97 that used to be that you must play one of these songs every three hours to keep your job but we're not
17:09
taking poola come holl at me uh but n man I'm
17:14
happy to have you you're every you to me you're the quintessential um man of our
17:19
community and uh you know what you do it throughout your career has not
17:25
been easy um I'm sure cuz you met with resist everywhere along the way and when you're
17:31
dealing in truth it could be frustrating for some folks because you know I'm walking in truth so regardless of that
17:37
resistance I got to keep staying on this path but everything you've spoken of in
17:43
recent years especially in the political sphere we're starting to see it was already coming to fruition but we're
17:49
starting to see things now that we that were oblivious to us or that was hidden in other ways um so where do you go now
17:57
what musically what what where are your thoughts at what are some of the things you want to
18:03
say I just want to tell people that being a revolutionary or being a revolutionary MC is sometimes a
18:10
thankless job being an activist is a thankless job if you want an Applause you know become an actor become a server
18:16
like become someone that gets on stage you know I I think at some point you have to realize that activism and music
18:24
are very similar sometimes but they're completely different one is based off being validated by Applause and how much
18:30
people like you because that it determines how popular you are and what you can charge for a show but being an
18:36
activist is like breaking into a person's house and if I broke into anybody's house here and you didn't know
18:42
me and you never seen me before you'd be like who the [ __ ] are you get the [ __ ] out of my house I'm calling the cops but
18:47
imagine if before you were able to say that to me I said wait a minute look up your roof is on fire get your family out
18:55
of here get your kids the [ __ ] out of here please you your house is on fire it's going to burn please don't die get
19:01
your kids and get the [ __ ] out of here you'd be like okay but most people are unhappy to be awakened most people do
19:09
not want to be awakened because that warm water is comfortable even if the water's cold in the ocean when you step
19:16
in there your body temperature has adjusted to that so when you get out of what you we all know is cold water and
19:22
you think it's warm water there are people that will refuse to get up and leave and I will go even further and say
19:29
that there are some people that are so diluted that think they can stay in the house while it's on fire and they say oh
19:35
I'm just going to run to the bathroom and and jump in the tub and my answer to those people is why you're in that tub
19:41
why don't you cut up some [ __ ] carrots and and and potatoes Because by the time the Fire gets to your bathroom
19:47
you're going to be soup so get the [ __ ] out of the house and that's all I got to
19:52
say it's a thankless job and listen if you're going to be out there doing it don't expect Applause Just realize that
19:59
sometimes even the people you help are not going to be thankful and I take it back to the Bible after Moses freed the
20:05
people killed one of the firstborns in Egypt made fire rain from the sky frogs
20:10
blood come out there he was gone for 40 days and half the people chose a golden
20:17
calf instead of Jehovah so if people saw all those Miracles with their own eyes
20:23
and still chose Shayan still chose the devil and idolatry what do you expect
20:28
from the human race today that is the same human race that was alive back then do not expect love and affection you
20:36
just there to do your [ __ ] job and do God's will that's it Immortal
20:41

22:33
right okay bab yes I have I've won a lot more than I lost don't you feel that's true but but but how many what
22:39
percentage of of like what you say professional battle rappers are making a
22:45
Liv percentage okay that's a a you mean like just that can just live off of off
22:52
that I say it would be it's not it's not the majority at all it would but but the
22:57
guys that the top the top tier guys if if if done correctly can
23:04
definitely live decent off of battle rap okay and what goes into living correctly
23:09
outside of just skill what goes into living correctly I mean handling your business correctly budgeting like you
23:16
know being an adult with your money you know what I mean and you know knowing your value and your worth and being able
23:22
to um negotiate right because the thing is a lot of people because they run with
23:27
one organization think you know they can charge some exorbitant fees when sometimes you got to this is this is
23:33
still I mean even though it's uh corporate is still underground you know you got to be able you got to know how to how to work the Angles and talk to
23:39
people and negotiate the proper numbers and know your worth without trying to P somebody out of business and you know
23:46
but yeah like the top the top guys the top guys that are like you know really consistently um going across all
23:52
platforms and spreading their brand and they can there definitely to be made definitely what do how do um battle
24:00
rappers of that format what do they think about battle rappers who go to like a on the radar or Cosmic cev or uh
24:08
you know LA leakers or come up here and spit bars I would hope that they would that's what they would Inspire that's
24:14
what they' be inspiring to do I would I would hope that I can't speak for everybody but I would assume that when
24:20
you see somebody like a Arsenal or DNA or Charlie Clips or Cita you know doing
24:27
things just out inside of the realm and still being able to you know showcase their skill as a as an artist as a
24:33
rapper like I mean I would I would I would look at that and think that that's something IID want to do as well the one
24:39
thing that I want to point out and me and finesse talked about this yesterday my general um we we talked about this
24:45
yesterday that in the past when you won a battle you were invited back to perform that's the one difference about
24:52
what was happening back then and now so poison pen used to run these battles um at the cipher at the wetlands by the way
24:59
also hosted by the the homie um and what what used to happen is if you won the battle not only did you get a cash prize
25:05
you got $500 but you had to come back and perform so you had a chance not just
25:11
to prove your skills as a battler but now you got people that will say well this is a champion you get the best
25:17
introduction that any person that gets on stage gets this guy beat all the people from last time and now you get to
25:23
hear his music and that was another level of so now you got to see okay he
25:28
could battle but can he make songs can he make something interesting that can hold my attention for 2 minutes and 30
25:34
seconds or is he just a battler and that was I think the difference now that that
25:40
part of it is taken out of the equation but there are other advantages that people have as being part as per to be
25:46
part of the culture that did not exist back then such as everybody getting paid whereas most of it was funnel just to
25:52
one person last time in in the early AG of the battle Immortal Technique is here L finess is it out M poison pin is here
26:00
Hector's on the line Hector is on the line from Cali Hector go ahead hey Hector how you doing kaani thank you for
26:07
taking my call First Time caller um just have questions first time caller he's a first time caller hold up
26:16
man there you go welcome to the tribe all right what's your question so I have a question for Mortal technique uh thank
26:22
you so much for the work you do and for your L lyrical activism um I it's very important for
26:29
people to be awaken and enlightened to to actual nuances that are happening in our society you know not just like the
26:35
typical misogamy and you know Murder and death and the typical things that are talked about but I I mean I still
26:41
remember when you put out your your album the Martyr you put it out for free for everybody just to take in and and
26:47
you know you did amazing work and you still continue to do it I have a question do you um are you going to be coming out with another album relating
26:54
to the political you know agenda that's coming out right now with Trump and and with Gaza and everything yeah I I've
27:01
started making um music again obviously you know I went through a very bad period of time when a lot of my people
27:07
in life just started passing away uh me and my brothers been dealing with that for a long time so I'm not afraid and
27:14
I'm not shy to say that I was in a very bad place where I I didn't even think about being here and it was lonely and I
27:22
got to a point where I said the only way out of this hole is to crawl myself out nobody is coming get you and that's just
27:29
something my father raised me with no one's coming to get you son so
27:37
you have to get up on your own so the other day I just got up and I started working out again I started with the
27:43
push-ups I started with walking two miles I looked at myself in the mirror and I said you're going to do it whether
27:48
you like it or not you're going to be uncomfortable today you're going to be unhappy with what you're going through
27:53
but you're going to get through it and it's going to get better and I tell people that even the greatest men falter
27:59
even the greatest people have self-doubt so if they can do it just remember that a brave man and a coward are both afraid
28:07
the difference is that the brave man knows there's something more important than his fear so I just had to find
28:12
something that was more important than my fear and it was the people needing to hear what was going on whether it's a
28:18
genocide happening in Gaza or Sudan um whether it's a conflict in the Congo um
28:24
whether it's anything we're we're we're Global people we want to speak on all the injustices that are going on in the
28:29
world and I I tell you right now brother I give Democrats and Republicans their due yes the guy who's in charge of ice
28:36
is a fascist but the person who put him in power was Obama so to me I've always said that you know one president made
28:43
spineless liberals feel like they were progressives when they never did anything for anyone and the other one
28:48
made stupid people feel smart so here we are in a situation where where where where we're we're
28:55
coming to full fruition and I'm willing to give each one of them they do because neither one of them really has our
29:01
interest at heart they're a party of business that masquerades one as a party of civil rights and the other one is a
29:07
party of God but they both act Godless when it comes to dealing with our people so I tell brothers and sisters yeah I'm
29:14
coming back to do more music and I'm sorry I I was in the middle of writing a book and then I got into uh fixing
29:20
scripts and working um uh for TV shows and if you want to see some of my writing I can't say it right now but uh
29:27
