Immortal Technique




Anybody else first hear of this movie after searching for the movie clip at the beginning of Immortal Technique's 'The Message and the Money'?

Sgt. Waters: "Them Nazis ain't all crazy. Whole lot of people just can't seem to fit in to where things seem to be going. Like you, CJ. See, the Black race can't afford you no more. There used to be a time, we'd see someone like you singin', clownin', yassuh-bossin'...and we wouldn't do anything. Folks liked that. You were good. Homey kind of *beep* When they needed somebody to mistreat, call a name or two, they paraded you.Reminded them of the good old days. Not no more. The day of the Geechee is gone, boy. And you're going with it. We can't let nobody go on believing we're all fools like you."

Very provocative quote to put at the beginning of the song, as those who have heard it know.

This is actually the correctly cut quote that appears before the song:

See, the Black race can't afford you no more. There used to be a time, we'd see someone like you singin', clownin', yassuh-bossin'...and we wouldn't do anything. Folks liked that. You were good. Homey kind of *beep* When they needed somebody to mistreat, call a name or two, they paraded you.Reminded them of the good old days. Not no more. The day of the Geechee is gone, boy. And you're going with it.

Check out Immortal Technique if you havn't heard him. Best rapper alive.

The opening "The Black race can't afford you no more" has been used as an intro in PUBLIC ENEMY'S "Move" from the "Apocalypse 91" album.

I'd have to find a cassette player to figure out which one. Geeze I'm getting old...

The only problem with SGT's thing was these people would've gotten out of jail
in a few years, except that poor guy in Paris
