Immortal Technique- 2008 Tour Dates
Immortal Technique at Hip Hop Al Parque in Bogota Colombia / Photo by Salvador Rojas
Over these past few years I have dedicated myself to many causes, those of the freethinking and truth loving Revolutionary nature. I am among those of us that support the persecuted immigrant community, the students of history and the warriors of an unrelenting struggle to ensure the rights of the people within their government. The difficult times and the callous criticism of my work is always easy to shun when I know what I really stand for, and that I and those around me serve a righteous cause. I never needed anyone's acknowledgment or permission to be who I am and do what I do. There were those when I began to move towards this direction in life who tried to dissuade me saying that I would not make millions off of rap. I can understand why they would say this but I ignored them and pressed on. And one day soon I hope to look upon the war-torn landscape of Afghanistan standing among the children that you and I as my supporters both helped to create a new life for with this center, who we aided in giving a fighting chance in this world that gives no quarter to the pious or the unknowing and innocent. That will make me the richest man in the world.
As I am a man of my word and I complete my promises. Early next year/semester the winners of the Essay contest will receive their prize money and a letter from me personally for their hard work, the police state chronicles will wrap up the editing and the Green Light projects will have completed its first mission.
I have been working hard along with Omeid International to coordinate the trip to Afghanistan and to work on the fundraiser that is coming up on the 20th of November in San Francisco. They are a dedicated group and I am glad to have such good company for my work and our achievements. I pledged on June 24th that I would donate $10,000 of my own money and do a big fundraising event to ensure that this caused received the full attention of the media (that focuses on mostly negative aspects of Hip Hop) and the people who support such a noble cause.
My people this was not brought to you by some corporate sponsor, nor was it manufactured by some organization that takes 60% of the $ donated for "administrative" purposes. I am not a millionaire, I am not a movie star or a charity organization. I am just a man that heard the call and responded. I am a part of this culture of Hip Hop and it was underground Hip Hop with the help of people like yourselves that made this possible. If you actually own one of the over 50,000 copies of "The 3rd World" (just past the marker in the last couple of weeks) then you will be happy to know that a part of that money made all of this possible.
Thank you for your continued support.
Que Viva La Revolucion,
Immortal Technique
