Revolutionary Vol. 2 by Immortal Technique w/ Joe from Go Down Fighting, Man Must Side, Shit You May Not Have Seen Podcast - 363
Joe from Shit You May Not Have Seen Podcast/the bands Go Down Fighting and Man Must Die, jois us this week. And his pick is somewhat controversial: Immortal Technique's second album second album Revolutionary Vol. 2. In true unsung style, it ends up leading to a massive debate about separating art and artist, all whilst looking closely at his politics and dissemination of conspiracy theories. Felipe Coronel fled Peru's civil war as a child, became a battle rap champion, and built a career on politically charged underground hip-hop - but how much of his "truth-telling" is actually that? We get into the weeds with that and much more.
