Do You Consider Tech N9Ne a sell-out?

[CEITEDMOFO]

ive been hearin that tech sold out and that he went main stream. with the collaborations with Lil Wayne, etc. thoughts?

 

[8TheMysticalTrickster]

He makes featurings with mainstream or nobodys whats the diff?

I like tech but every CD he drops is always chock full of featurings, that's why i'll probably never buy a CD from him

 

[Bender Rodriguez]

I always think Tech N9ne of doing it just to show he can. He is still independent and not using those songs to sell more cause he was making bank without those features. Each Cd has increased with the popularity of a feature but its no different then someone brand new coming out with a cd featuring some of those dudes.

I dont give a fukk if you dont like the mans music but this dude is one of the smartest business men in the business

 

[Kool Herc]

Nah. I do believe he does what he wants to do. I just feel like he's gotten kinda wack as of recent

 

[Da King]

He's wack at this point

 

[TheBeeShine]

Tech never changed his style to work with Lil Wayne or E-40 or anyone. They came into his world. It's a sign of Strange Music growing as well as his fan base.

 

[Ronnie Lott]

He's been makin the same type of music for the longest

Tech Nine is corny nikka and weirdo rap. Best thing he's ever done was that Weezy feature. I don't fukk with people who paint their face.

 

[Buckeye Fever]

Tech can rap his ass off and is an independent mastermind, but I always felt his demographic was white ppl who stan ICP

You cry about the way I paint my face
It ain't y'all taste little homie let me state my case
I'm not a devil; a dam jester rumors can fester
Never lift up a demon with an image of my ancestors
African act like you see me when you be traffickin
Laughter when you frowned up at me your hatred is bafflin
You watch American Idol my people my paints is tribal
It symbolizes not evil but the will instilled survival​
