Beginning of sophomore year (mid-October), I was talking to one of my white friends about rap. I was into Eminem, and other rappers I had found through him (Lose Yourself was the song that got me into rap). He told me he was into underground stuff. DGAF, KMK, Tech N9ne, etc. I told him, "Tech N9ne sounds familiar, but I don't think I've heard anything by him." He told me to check it out, so I did. First tracks I heard and downloaded were Caribou Lou, Riot Maker, Victory, and maybe a couple others I just can't remember. I was like "This dude's sick." Not long after, K.O.D. was released and I loved the darkness. K.O.D and Strange Music Box all day. Within another month, I felt like I had been listening to Tech for life.

Now, backtracking, I remember listening to The Anthem (because, of course, it had Eminem) and being addicted to Tech's verse. Had no clue who he was, but he had my favorite verse on the track, with his crazy flow and lyrics. Blew my mind when I was listening to the track a year later and realized that it had been Tech the whole time.

All 6's and 7's was the first album I ever payed for. First music I ever payed for, in fact. I've never been a rich kid, and I've always felt like buying music would be a waste of my well-saved money. But, when All 6's and 7's was coming, I said to myself, "I can't do this to Tech and illegally download his music again. This is gonna be the album that gets him recognition, and I want to be a part of that."

Even though I was in debt to my parents after buying a new mic, I payed the $10 dollars to buy the album off of Amazon.

Technician for life.

The first time i heard of tech was on madden, and i thought damn that shits hot and let it be. but when everready came out, i was on a hiphop website and one of the top songs at the time was caribou lou. I downloaded it with no questions, and after the first verse i was HOOKED. i downloaded every one of his albums that night, and checked back about every week for info on new albums comin out. I got Killer and thats when i knew.. not only was he my favorite artist, but the greatest MC of all time.

I 1st heard Tech in December of 09. I was looking for instrumentals on youtube & I came across a video of someones beat remix for Blown Away soo I looked up the original to see the difference & I was truly blown away. It was like nothing I ever heard before & the cover for Sickology 101 was amazing. I loved the song & I originally thought Tech N9ne was like an electro hip hop group because of the autotune and the word "tech" in the name lmao but then I looked up Tech N9ne on wikipedia and i learned everything about him. Then I looked up all his albums on myspace & I was hooked. I made ever single song on my profile a Tech song & since then, I've bought every Tech N9ne album, most of Strange Music's other releases, & I'm gonna go to my 1st Tech N9ne concert next month =D i'm mad excited to meet my favorite MC & biggest influence

I knew of tech way back when, about 03,04 because the first time I heard of him was from my cousin I think was later but I can't remember but he was rockin an old tech n9ne tshirt but I didn't pay attention to it, but imma play was like the first song I heard by him but I didn't get into tech till years later, than my cousin came over one time and he was on my computer and he was bumpin caribou Lou than I jus peeped that song didn't listen to any others but than when killer came out a couple of my friends were talkin about the concert when he was on tour around that time and they had the samplers so I peeped that and it was everybody move and drill team that got me into tech and I've been hooked ever since

Tech's been a recognizable name around here for years, since I was elementary school. I wasn't too big on rap when i was younger, only listened to Chamillionaire and a few others. I remember kids bumping "I'm A Playa" (terrrrible song) in midle school and thinking why would anyone listen to this gay shit? My brother listened to him non-stop so I always heard a lot of him just never really got into it. I didn't really become a fan until around Fire & Ice, after that show he's always been a favorite.
