This right here…”Shine permanently, only my mind’s concerning me, fire burns in me eternally, time’s eternity.”, is beyond the average understanding of people. In that short, but impactful verse, Rakim realizes that the only thing that lasts and is eternal is the mind…which is attached to the heart as well as the soul, and that should be the only concern of humans, because those three things…which the mind controls, are spiritual, and they never die….as opposed to the body. Which is physical and ends up dying
I still remember the first time I watched this documentary years ago being caught off guard just like Ice-T when Rakim explained his writing technique haha.
Peace to the Rakim and Ice T. Two living legends. That leather goose Ra got on was dangerous to wear back in the day. You would get snuffed out wearing that outside.
Immortal Technique is one of my favorite rappers of all time. It’s a shame so many people haven’t heard this man’s music. His constant use of historical references are eye opening. In my eyes, Technique is one of the greatest storytellers to ever do it.
