Some of them felt like, "Oh, these people are only here for the publicity, or sometimes they're just here for whatever." And then, more and more people started showing up and the individuals in the movement were kind of split on it.
I remember when I first popped up there out of nowhere, people weren't really expecting to get or receive any support from a commercial artist or an underground artist. I've spent lots and lots and lots of time in Wall Street, New York. Have you occupied Wall Street? Did you spend the night down there?
But what I like the most is seeing that though those communities are different, they're working in very similar fashions. So, I think that there're going to be a lot of differences in the way people come together. In New York, people are really going to be suffering about that. Here at Occupy Miami, you're not going to have to worry about it snowing or it being minus 15 degrees. But we're going to have to close this tent and get this person to a doctor." When someone is out there saying, "Someone is sick.
So, when I see people things that are difficult, like kicking someone out of the group who has a drug problem and bringing heat to the movement. All the different communities have problems that are unique to their demographic or to their area. What I really like is seeing the difference in the type of cohesion that people have when they come together. I'll probably do the same thing in Texas and then on the West Coast. Or as many of them as we possibly can on the way down. Immortal Technique: I was doing a show, a tour for this free album called The Martyr. Immortal Technique took some time to tell Crossfade about revolutionary music, the unique nature of each Occupy gathering, and who dropped the fucking plates.Ĭrossfade: What brought you down here today? And while on his tour, he's making an effort to support those entirely committed to changing the way this country is run by drawing attention to the Occupy movements and visiting campsites. The outspoken, politically active hip-hop artist is visiting Miami to promote his free album The Martyr. He offered press, protesters, and superfans individual attention and thoughtful commentary. But once there, he was very generous with his time. Immortal Technique might have been a little late to yesterday's promised appearance at the Occupy Miami site.
