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.

Very good way of putting it.

I totally understand why he isn't the average hip hop listener's cup of tea. He's very technical, extremely left field and probably too attached to his weirdness. I also think people are quick to dismiss him because of his image and fanbase, but even the biggest skeptics probably could find at least a couple songs out of his catalog that they'd enjoy.

I just wished he would have never embraced the juggalo fanbase like he has. I understand why he did, because they pretty much made him in the early days of his career, but I personally hate ICP, and I hate that I have to explain that I'm not a fukking juggalo when I tell people Tech N9ne is my favorite rapper.

I kind of fukked with him when he was with the regime, but he was always a bit too extra for my tastes overall. He was clean when he was on his G shyt though.

Yea the ICP crowd held him back especially when he incorperated their clown style with his.

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

facts, I got home, blazed up and literally spent an hour watching a live show, being high probably helped me watch so long, but that shyt was fire and I don't even listen to tech like that

can't quote any of his bars or songs

I'm a fan, but he does some corny stuff.


Songs like SRIACHA are an example. I don't want to hear a song with that stupid chorus.



It also infuriates me how often he does verses where he uses the effect to make it sound like he's rapping through a phone.

He had some good features on this Yukmouth album... he comes in around :40 on this one.

I was into tech heavy between around 97 after i heard Questions on the Gang Related soundtrack. I haven't listened as much since Killer. He's made some great songs and has a lot of talent, i just haven't been able to get into a lot of his newer stuff, i don't know if its just repetitive to me because i listened to him a lot before. But he's definitely one of those love him or hate him artists it seems.
