I just read this interview by Tech and he said the coolest thing ever:
"I'm never going to go mainstream because I'm raw and this is my life. But what if the mainstream became me?"

Your thoughts?

Who says the mainstream isn't real? The only reason Tech N9ne isn't in the mainstream is because stupid Travis keeps booking Tech with loser bands like KMK and Hed PE. Those bands are horrible and violent. I want you to listen to Kanye West's Graduation and tell me that it's not real!
as long as there are stupid people. they will have an opinion on music. and as long as there are stupid people that just happen to be on the controls, runnin shit, mainstream will never be real. but like gofer said it wasn't that long ago that cypress and the wu were on top, so we can possibly have a good run on this music shit. but I really don't care if tech goes mainstream. if he just has a hand in helpin the better music be heard by the masses such as kutty and kriz its all good.
First, KMK is the shit. Tech has toured with ICP and performed at the GOTJ many times. I would absolutely hate it if Tech went mainstream. It just wouldn't be the same. I discovered Tech through ICP and have loved him ever since. Kutty and Krizz are getting almost as high up as Tech. Anyway, just thought I'd add that KMK doesn't suck. Tangerine Sky!
i agree kmk and most of all underground rap is a lot better than mainstream
And BTnH. You can't forget the Bone Thugs.

Yeah, but in an interview with dubcnn.com, Tech said that someone from the industry would have to be talking BILLIONS of dollars to get them to sign.

yeah i remember seeing that interview somewhere, he said after what happened at JCOR he would never sign to a big industrialized record company...unless they paid him a lot, i think he did say billions.
lol (like dr. evil) N9ne hundred billion dollars.
