Bigmouth strikes again

The few college students who don’t watch The Daily Show get their news from Immortal Technique. An unfounded assertion, sure, but for budding activists from campuses to ghettos worldwide, the Harlem revolutionary hip-hop Goliath is the proven militant alternative to pacifist patchouli rap and lightweight political satire. Technique is more Stewie Griffin than Jon Stewart, a vehement opponent of hypocrisy who’s content with deploying shock-and-awe attacks, shoulder-loaded rockets, or whatever else it takes to mangle adversaries. He doesn’t joke about world hunger, irresponsible globalization, or Christian conservatives — and as it turns out, his approach is precisely what discouraged hip-hop fans and disenchanted liberals were waiting for.
