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​


Nice song, wanna check more of his ish.

:snoop: cats who hate on Tech already have their mind made up. i don't think there's any songs or verses you could show them to change their minds. as far as selling out, did he make fukk Food a single? has he used his new song with BoB & Wiz Khalifa as a lead single or video? did he change his style to get collabos with mainstream rappers? NO so how has he sold out?

this + only a small percentage of his income is the music sales anyway...+ he has a whole team on his roster dropping retail tapes, so he makes as much off those artists than his own tapes. But pretty much all his income is touring/merch

Sellout? how?

Dude's sound been the same since what... 98?

He been making the same kind of music since 98.

Built his shyt from the ground up.

Made Forbes this year....

Cats really thinking there's this salary line where mainstream artists wont do records with you unless you cross it? :heh:

Dude wasn't been begging folks to get on the record with him. THEY ask HIM.

What he gonna say: " :patrice: nawl, nikka I mean... I know you're one of the biggest rappers in teh country but we don't get down like that roun chea."


:heh: I'm not even a fan of dude's music like that, but.... maybe people should be asking if Wayne sold out to get Tech fans instead. :russ:

that's right, Wayne was the one who talked about making music with Tech & 3 Stacks while he was in jail (or about to go)

does he still not sound exactly the same? he's not anywhere near a sell out. if anything, he should be called an innovator w/ the kind of production that he has been going over for the last good amount of years. i haven't fukked with him in long time tho. last release i liked of his was absolute power. tech is a good example of someone who can make it while staying true. i know he's made a crazy amount of money recently...

Tech is a mc with a well rounded sound. He'll work with damn near anybody honestly. He's technically nicer than a loooot of rappers. And he got a sick ear for beats. He gets my respect and he's far from a sale out. this shyt should be bumpin in the clubs.
