In some of his songs, he talks about hating Sony. In one specific song, “Reverse Pimpology”, he says he’s going to go to the Sony building and piss in the elevator. Why?

There are apparently many many many reasons why different people hate SONY. It is, after all, an enormous media and electronics corporation, with a for-profit charter that makes it a giant force for greed at the expense of others.
I’ve no idea though why specifically Immortal Technique hates SONY,
Immortal Technique hates the corporate-controlled record business in general. He raps about many of them, and how he can make more money as an indie in the underground scene than through them. The record business is notorious for screwing over their artists financially, and in Immortal Technique’s case, he argues that they try to censor his political message as well. Freedom of Speech is one song that focuses on this aspect of the record business. Also Industrial Revolution covers his contempt for the recording industry. I get the sense that he doesn’t hate Sony Records any more than the other majors.
He has view similar to those of Tech N9ne. He knows that he will a. Make more money without a record deal from a money sucking comoany like Sony and b. Doesnt need anyones help because hes a bamf
