WHY IS TECH N9NE NOT RESPECTED?

[mrfortune]

hes one of the best but i dont like his sound. production is top tier but sounds like its made for weird white and black people that ride trucks with big wheels, drink bud and clash with people that wear cowboy inspired clothing

From my understanding dude is paid off catering to other weird nikkas and cacs, I doubt he cares. I was watching some music doc or interview with him and his strange music imprint is supposed to be really successful.

Definitely not for me tho. If I can't get around the image I cant listen to the shyt, I just was able to publicly start saying Thug has bangers but only cuz he stopped with the hubby talk and dresses.

Bruh might as well make a why don't the coli fukk with B.o.B thread next.

Tech Nine the battle rapper >>>

 

[blizzard man]

tech is dope, and hes proven that you can run shyt even being on an indie platform. most rappers out now wish they could have the longevity that tech has

dude has a low key large ass fanbase and most rap heads dont even know him.

if they did, theyd fukk with him, but hes not tryna be on no major label wave and hes not out here acting foolish

dude touring, building strange music and stacking chips

you can fukk with Young Thugs image of a gay gangsta wearing dresses and talking about dikks all day but not a man who wears a bit of face paint on stage?

 

[GreenGhxst]

He's respected by me, I don't listen to him like that but I can respect what he does, he's better than most rappers imo, craziest flows, great presence, I fukk with him sometimes because he's very unique

This is lit, definitely different but I can fukk with it

The problem is that Tech N9ne is like MF Doom or Kool Keith in the sense that you either think he's the dopest rapper to ever pick up a mic or you think he's just downright unlistenable, and there's no real go between. I dig his music, but on the same token, he's really on that sort of Cypress Hill wave, where you start off as a straight hip-hopper, but you basically merge together with rock and roll sensibilities and once you do that, you basically alienate the East Coast fanbase and to a lessor extent the Southern base. So basically the dude has made much of his fortune off of a midwest/west coast fanbase and his business acumen (he really helped set the blue print for indie success in a modern world).

Yup. Tech N9ne is technically gifted and a dope emcee but he doesn't have magnetism. He's a top performer but a lot of his songs don't do it for me plus his beats aren't memorable. I have skimmed through a lot of the stuff @Sccit posted and I couldn't finish any of the songs because I just did not vibe with any of them.
That said, I salute him for his business acumen and hustle.

I love his music, him Kutt and Kaliko were the best trio in rap at one time. I honestly don't care if other folks like him or not, but I've been a fan since I heard "Red Nose"

Some people prefer his first album the most since it's the most "normal" sounding album of his (The Calm Before the Storm) but I like all his stuff. Except the mixtape/EP with the metal band, I don't like metal.

I'm a huge tech n9ne fan and have yet to give my two cents so here goes, does tech wear face paint, talk about the devil and do shows with ICP... yes, that's all most people who aren't a fan of his Guage him by, my brother got me into him when he played "I'm a playa" and "slacker" for me, at that time I didn't know dude wore face paint or talked about the devil, and based off the 2 songs I heard I was instantly a fan, fast forward 14 years and I've seen him in concert 3 times, arguably the best rapper I've ever seen live, I've bought every album and have checked for the other artists on his imprint, I give mad props for his business mind and salute Travis oguinn for helping tech get out of his shady labels and start strange music because it has given a lot of other artists a legitimate platform to express themselves artistically, I'm not gonna tell yall what songs to check out because if you like tech you already know and if you don't I'm not going to change your opinion.

Let's put this to bed real quick. Tech Nine isn't more popular because of his fans. And I don't mean that from the "They're all juggalos" type perspective. A significant portion of his fans have always been the type to attack someone's taste in music the instant that you say you don't love all of his work. Trying to force feed an artist to someone that most can agree is an acquired taste is sure way to get you and that artist called corny.

For the record, I think dude is alright, but I can never listen to a full album from him, especially his current work. From what I've heard, he's fallen into the long running rapper trap of using the same types of deliveries/flows too often. There's a reason most people write him off as just a speed rapper.

AND THOSE PEOPLE ARE WRONG

 

[OnlyInCalifornia]

I think people think you have to like a persons art to respect em.

While I think he is a real talented MC, I don't really like the production and some of the guys he raps with so I don't get into his music. I him though because the guy is an independent BEAST, knows his lane, and doesn't have to make any records he doesn't want to.

ITS A WELL KNOWN FACT THAT TECH PUTS ON THE BEST LIVE SHOW
