Independent hip-hop artist Immortal Technique stopped by the “Occupy Wall St.” protest in New York City early Tuesday morning to rally activists and call for more demonstrations, urging the crowd that if they “really want to make a change,” they should “come down here to Wall St.”
“Realize what’s really at stake here. The future of not just this country, but of this world, is all about to go. Not on some 2012 shit, but realistically speaking. The resources are running out. You’re going to look at this video years from now and say, ‘Damn, yo. He was right, we should have been focused on this.’”
“If you really do want to make a change, you want to have some kind of effect, if you want to build your life around the people, come down here to Wall Street. People are still here. They’re still working. They’re still willing to have a conversation. They’re still willing to debate with people. They’re still willing to have that debate. That’s how you know somebody’s a fraud: they’re not willing to put their ideas up against somebody else’s. They’re not willing to measure the failure of their own system.”
