4real 4real tho it'll be WHOOOOOOOOOOO KIIIIIIIIIID....... then u hear tech all faded in the background rappin till the tag is over lol
Haha...I hate that...especially when it would otherwise be a kickass song.
Tech...Alucard was worth $6 alone. Keep doing YOU and don't let your real fans and so-called fans define what "YOU" is.
Seepage and Lost Scripts is a lot like having a snack between full-course meals. I sure as hell bought and loved Mixed Plate, and after a few months I was hungry for more! Seepage was the snack that will hold me over until KABOSH or 6s and 7s.
I listen to Tech tracks about 4 times more than those of ANY OTHER ARTIST (http://www.last.fm/user/ordizzle/charts?rangetype=overall&subty...) and a lot of that has to do with him giving us new shit to listen to a few times a year. Ludacris puts out a CD almost every year and even HE would have trouble competing with Tech or some of the similar Strange Music artists for number of quality tracks put out in a single career. What other artist can put out a 10 second track (Stamina) and have people LOOK FORWARD to seeing him perform such a short track LIVE at his concerts?
Tech has yet to let me down with one of his releases. (OK...maybe I was hoping I'd get an autographed copy of Seepage...haha j/k, I'll just get it signed when I finally get myself to a Tech show...had to work when he was in FL and I left Pgh for my new job right before his show there). And even, in theory, if he was going to disappoint, he has put out SO MUCH other music in the past that is some of the best shit ever made...I'd still eagerly get the next CD.
Artists change...they aren't going to please ALL of their fans with every song they make. AND NOT EVERY SONG HAS TO MEET A TIME THRESHOLD. One of my other favorite artists...Static-X...has MANY songs that are around 2:30 long, and some of those songs are my favorites of their music.
You want REAL disappointment? Go listen to the artists that AREN'T everlasting and feel that disappointment. That is REAL disappointment. Remember Bonecrusher? I'd still love to hear more of his music but he fell off the face of Planet Crusher. Em's Relapse album...that's REAL disappointment after waiting for something NEW after a few subpar remix albums...but Em shined in Recovery after recognizing his fans were let down for real.
You want more REAL disappointment? Wait 10 years (and then probably 10 more years) for Dr. Dre to come out with a THIRD studio album release. TECH N9NE WILL HAVE 13 STUDIO ALBUMS after releasing Amafrican Psycho and All 6s and 7s in 2011. (6+7 is 13 so I hope that one comes AFTER the KABOSH release so 6s/7s is his 13th release). The only thing I can disagree with Tech N9ne about is his consideration of Dr. Dre as "one of us." If it wasn't for the constant Brett Favre drama of "is this gonna be the year that Dre finally drops Detox?" Dr. Dre would be forgotten about as an rapper. Sure, he's one hell of a producer, as are Michael "Seven" Summers and Robert Rebeck (I'd argue that those two are actually better than Dre), but few people are actually remembered because of being producers. Everlasting: Tech N9ne, Dr. Dre not so much unless he does something to change that
If you want REAL disappointment, buy a CD from one of the typical mainstream rap artists because you really liked the song you heard on the radio only to find out only one goddamn song on the CD was actually worth listening to (Lean Back was the only good song on the Terror Squad CD, for example) Even not with rap...take Taproot's CD that had the song Poem on it...pretty much the only good song. Or how about Powerman 5000 with only two good songs on Tonight the Stars Revolt! I'd even say that D12 not putting out new music is a disappointment or even System of a Down being on indefinite hiatus a true disappointment.
Tech N9ne is the only one of my favorite artists that tours EVERYWHERE and EVERY YEAR. I know he will still do shows for awhile and missing him this time around won't be my last opportunity to see him live. With almost every new album comes a brand new tour...if not more than one.
People who criticize Tech N9ne for "going mainstream" or "going soft" or whatever bullshit they write do not realize HOW FUCKIN LUCKY we are to be alive to listen to someone this talented. You have to appreciate that we have someone as good as Tech rapping right now. Someone like him probably comes around once in a century, if not longer. Yeah, there are a lot of good rappers out there right now, but nobody comes close. None of my other favorite rappers come close. Snoop Dogg doesn't come close, Twista doesn't, Three 6 Mafia doesn't...you get the picture.
Tech doesn't have to keep rapping for us (please do tho!) Tech doesn't have to stay independent anymore, but he does. Out of loyalty to Trav, the other Strange artists, his producers, and his fans, he doesn't go with the major record labels because he knows the way the major labels control the industry is bullshit. Request Tech all you want outside KC...but your local radio stations won't play him because he's not on a major label...they aren't being paid off to play independent artists. Your "local" stations are controlled by the industry, by the major labels, and it's pure bullshit. When a mainstream artist like Lil' Wayne, like him or hate him, wants to collab with Tech N9ne, that is as Tech says "mainstream going Tech." That is Tech getting mainstream recognition without the aid of "the industry." Eventually as Tech and Strange gets bigger, the industry might realize their system is broken and can't operate they way they have anymore. Strange Music is a great business model because not only do they have a major emphasis on signing great talent, they have a major emphasis on getting the artists out there and making their customers and fans happy and coming back. The mainstream industry as it is now is broken. You can compare independent artists vs. the industry to Macs vs. Windows. Little new, exciting, or everlasting is coming out of Microsoft these days and the superior Macs are eventually going to take over because they put out a superior product. Same thing with the independent artists vs. the industry. Little new, exciting, or everlasting is coming out of the big record labels and Tech and Strange Music put out far superior products and experiences, happier customers, and eventually will take over. The industry is a huge battle to pick a fight against...so was Microsoft. But both Tech and Apple are succeeding, while the other side is stuck shaking in their boots, not doing anything innovative, and eventually falling out of the picture.
I'll be sticking with Tech and Strange as they continue to put up this fight against the haters and the industry, and I'll be happy doing so for a long long time. I realize how lucky I am to take part in the Tech N9ne experience...some of you apparently need to realize this too.
Obviously i give a fuck, just because i don't like Lil Wayne it's fuck me? Someone who has been supporting and spreading his music for years? And as public figure you need to know when to just not say anything. Plus if i was Tech and haters were bothering me i would just check my bank account statement and i'd be all good.
pSyChOb9tCh said:who gives a fuck i think Tech has the right to have an ego.... n he can post wutever the fuk he wants on his twitter n come on when so many ppl r talkin shit it eventually gets to him... n hes gna talk shit back wouldnt u??? i know i do!!!! fuck that!!
PtothaWHAT said:I don't think there's a anything wrong with putting out the EP's.
But i have noticed Tech's ego is insane these days, and posting shit on his twitter that says "Fwd: Fuck you and the fans who talk shit bout my blood homie." refering to Lil Wayne. I've been a fan of Tech for many years and sad to see he would just throw fans to the side just to kiss lil waynes ass, and wasn't he just making fun of rappers like Lil Wayne on the song "Hip Hop" on Cognito's album?

Permalink Reply by World Famous Dirty 530 on November 2, 2010 at 1:38pm why would it be funny like if anybody cant just put up a screen name that says thereal when there is also that one with the pic of tech wearing that jersey thats supposedly is the real Tech so yeah i would doubt too because i can also easly make a screen name and put A.yates and say im the real tech...hell i get friend invites everyday on my PSN cuz people think im dave chappelle but anyways cant believe everything you read on a forum that all im saying...if i saw a interview and tech was like yeah thats my screen name but until then i dont believe half of what people write behind a PC we all should know that
matt meyer said:you doubting that this is actualy tech n9ne is the funiest thing ive seen in a while. lmao
Dionte West said:If this is the real tech or not this is what I will say to you
I have always felt your music, and your heart which is why I been rolling with you for over 10 years, and I just want you to appreciate when your fans buy your music it is like a vote saying you're the best and we putting our hard earned money out there to show the rest of the world that, when we get an album like seepage with an intro, half a track, a shortened track, it feels like maybe I should have not bought it because tech is using me. I don't just buy your album because of your flow, I buy it because I want it on top of itunes, I want the world to know Tech N9ne is the realest artist out there...but lately it has been subpar at best....so if this is Tech I got love for you as an artist and you seem like a real guy no matter the name calling, and I am glad that u are successful just appreciate that your fans have a right to express themselves and if you dont want me as a fan no more, I really won't cry no tears....but that is exactly the problem the old tech wanted to take over the world, the new tech says fuck you if you disagree period...I can disagree and still respect you why cant you do the same....but I don't think that was the real tech
thereal said:how and why the fuck would i rap about biting a chick for more than 1 verse if it only happened with a particular chick ? this mutha fucka must have forgot i write MY LIFE? the money comes when i do my SOLO albums weirdo. i dont have to do ep's, mixtapes, collabos or anything for you for that matter if thats how you feel that im just raking in the dough of a 5 dollar cd i did and didnt wanna for my fans. you two dollar mutha fucka. i want my fans to feel what i feel inside is why i do extra.
