Although the political position of these kings makes them feel superior to all‚ the gods in the two stories show them that immortals are far superior to any

Immortal Technique is the greatest rapper of all time. Many will argue against this assertion and many will protest that he couldn’t possibly be the best because they’ve never even heard of him.
