do you think the story in Immortal Technique - Dance With The Devil is true?

[Oklin]

since he raps:

and listen cuz the story that I'm telling is true
cuz I was there with Billy Jacobs and I raped his mom to

....

whole lyric: http://www.seeklyrics.com/lyrics/Immortal-Technique/Dance-With-the-Devil.html

since its immortal technique im not sure if its a true story or not.... he is a rapper i dont think as a lier, when he say something like that... but on the other hand... its a pretty sick thing to say...

[virtuoso]

I am not sure but this isnt meant to be a specific story but more a metaphor as to how society is raping our women, with its corrupt ways. I could be wrong of course

[Mo Z. Dizzle]

i was thinkin the same thing
wut virtuoso makez sense

[$do11a biLL$]

I doubt it but the song sure made me tingly the first time i heard it

Come on, are you serious?  If you think it's true just because he raps those words, you'd have to believe Ice Cube and Dre tellin us 'bout all the dirt they do even though neither of them have ever been on the set in their lives (like we were saying in that other thread).  Not to mention all the other square rappers claimin they're gangsta.  That's like an unwritten rule in hip-hop - never believe a word a nigga put on wax even if he claims it's the truth, unless you can verify it yourself.

Like someone else said, that song is probably metaphorical more than anything else, but it's sure not the literal truth either way.  I don't own that record, but in Vol. 2, IT writes passages in the liner notes where he talks about what each song means to him and how he came up with the idea behind it.  I dunno if he does that in Vol. 1 as well, but if someone's got a copy of the CD, check it out.

yeah i dont believe anything cube and dre say..... but i just think its different when immortal say it... maybe its just me...

[white Boy]

who cares if it true or not, i doubt it, but it really is the same to me/

[Throwback]

its something that could happen, but i doubt IT was there.

[7even]

he said it is not true

then again, the fbi would prolly investigate if he keeps insisting that it is true.. so "you never know"

[Theodore]

nah

[Mac 10 †]

this has been discussed before and i wasn't sure....and i'm still not

[smp4life]

Hell no it ain't true, what are you, 12? It's just an ill story with a message to it.

[Sikotic™]

[Oklin]

Hell no it ain't true, what are you, 12? It's just an ill story with a message to it.
