Yep, he's part of a group called 'Phi Life Cypher'. Which is Life MC, Siphili and their producer Dj Nappa.

They've got 3 cds out. Millennium Metaphors, Higher Forces and Playback.

They've got a fourth cd planned for late this year or early next year too.

That's a link to the Millennium Metaphors album, which is my favourite.



And that's one of the tracks from my album, one of my favourite beats of all time

Native tounges posse had some of the best minds in the industry



A tribe called quest - The Jazz



Busdriver - Imaginary Places



Blackstar - Definition



Aesop Rock - The Tugboad Complex Pt 3



Outkast - Southernplayalisticadillacmuzik

I saw one Immortal Tech song, but I didn't see this one on here yet.

Immortal Technique - Point of No Return

www.youtube.com...

says it all, but it might be tooo hard for you guys


Lyrics -

This is the point of no return I could never go back
Life without parol up state shackled and trapped
Living in the hole, lookin' at the world through a crack
But # that, I'd rather shoot it out and get clapped
I've gone too far, there ain't no coming back for me
Auschwitz gas chamber full of Zyklon-B
Just like the spanish exterminating Tynos
Raping the black and Indian women, creating Latinos
Mother #ers made me out of self richeous hatered
And you got yourself a virus, stuck in the Matrix
A suicide bomer strapped and ready to blow
Lethal injection strapped down ready to go
Don't you understand they'll never let me live out in peace
Concreate jungle, guerilla war out in the streets
Nat Turner with the sickle pitch fork and ma chatte
The end of the world, mother #er you not ready
This is the point of no return and nobody can stop it
Malcolm little running up before Elijah Muhammad
The commedent killed the dinosaurs, changing the earth
They love to criticize they always say I change for the worse
Like prescription pills when you miss using them nigga
The temple of nights when they took Jerusalem nigga
And figured out what was buried under Soloman's temple
Al Aksa the name is no coincidental
I know too much to government is trying to murder me
No coming back like cutting your writs open vertically
How could the serpant be purposely put in charge of the country
Genetic engineered sickness spread amongst me
My people are so hungry that they attack without reason
Like a #in' dog ripping off the hand that feeds him
Immortal Technique is treason to the patriot act
So come and get me mother #er cause I'm not coming back

[Hook]
This is the point from which I could never return
And if I back down now then forever I burn
This is the point from which I could never retreat
Cause If I turn back now there can never be peace
This is the point from which I will die and succeed
Living the struggle, I know I'm alive when I bleed
From now on it can never be the same as before
Cause the place I'm from doesn't exist anymore

[Verse 2]
This is the point of no return nigga you better believe this
Mary Magdalen giving birth to the children of Jesus
The evolution of the world, bloody and dramatic
Human beings killing monkeys to conquer the planet
The kingdoms of Africa and Mesopotamia
Machine gunnin' your body with depleated uranium
This is the age of micro chips and titanium
The dark side of the moon and contact with aliens
I started out like Australians, criminal minded
Broke into hell, tore it down, and built and city behind it
South Paul, murderous, methadology nigga
Remember that I'm just a man don't follow me nigga
Cause once you past the point you can never go home
You've got to face the possibility of dying alone
So tell me mother #er, how could you die for the throne?
When you don't even got the #in' heart to die for your own
It rains acid, one day the earth will cry from a stone
And you'll be lookin' at the world livin' inside of a dome
Comperized humanity living inside of a clone
This is the place where the unknown is living and real
Worm went to planet X and the seventh seal
Universal truth is not measure in mass appeal
This is the last time that I kneel and pray to the sky
Cause almost everything that I was always ever told was a lie

cheers for the contributions, some dope posts

No worries bruv. I got a # load of good UK hip hop.

You got any Aus hip hop i should look for? I've tried searching Youtube before but end up finding usually commercial #.

I've got an album from Pez and some guy called Delta. He's alright, not really much conscious # though, just good music. He's got one track with a British artist called Skinnyman, that's pretty hot.

I tried getting some Kiwi hip hop before too, but It's usually Islander kids rapping with American accents, which is pretty gay.

I'll post more tracks in this thread tonight

Werd. Yeah have started getting into UK hip hop for about the past 6 months. Artists like children of the damned, braintax, skinnyman, dark circle, taskforce, jehst, nine high, good stuff a lot of dope hip hop coming out.

Australia wise, definately try and get both Coalition Crew albums, particularly the latest one called known unknowns. They would probably be the most active dropping knowledge about the NWO and all that. Delta is pretty dope but only has one or two conscious tracks, Lazy Grey's latest album is pretty mad he's the dopest in Aus i reckon, drops knowledge on a few tracks and theres references to masonic symbolism in his lyrics and cover. Heaps of other artists drop lots of knowledge as well but only one or two.. You will find most of them in this thread.

And yeah i dont really dig the Nz scene that much, most of it is american accent, i think soon though it could get dope there are a couple of good artists i know.

If you wanna know some dope aus artists in general hit me up with u2u.

Cheers
