And yeah, they can come off a bit like know-it-alls, but what rapper doesn't have that type of attitude at one point or another? Also, I.T states in one of his songs of Revolutionary Vol. 2 that he doesn't think Bush blew up the twin towers. As for what he raps about, it's not strictly "conspiracy theories" - what about the songs in which he speaks out against racism? And what of the songs about freedom and oneness? If you think speaking out about this makes him a conspiracy theorist and that we truly are free and one, I don't really know what else to say.

You specifically said "exposing the government and media for the cowards they are" that doesn't really apply to racism, freedom and "oneness" seeing as everyone's pretty aware racism is a problem and everyone is aware of the things that restrict their personal liberties and is usually okay with it. I like Immortal Technique but treating it like he's a political revolutionary or something is just retarded.
