Rapper and political activist Immortal Technique sits down with Cenk Uygur of The Young Turks for a wide-ranging interview that starts with his birth in Peru and his family's move to Harlem, where he found rap and hip-hop culture as a teenager. He walks through how street life and early exposure to poverty shaped the political content of his lyrics, and Uygur pushes the conversation past biography into the subjects Technique built a career on: the Iraq and Afghanistan wars, drone strikes in Yemen, the exploitation of women, and what he sees as entrenched political corruption. There's no reenactment or archival footage here, just two people talking, but Technique speaks in specifics, tracing a line from his own upbringing to the broader arguments about poverty and free speech that run through his music. The interview format lets him make his case at length rather than in soundbites, closing on his view of what an artist owes an audience beyond entertainment.
