“The beats sound nothing like anything you’ve ever heard me on. The features that I’m going for are something you would never imagine. All I can say about it now is that it’s a very human album. What I mean by that is that it’s contradictory. On one song I say, ‘The saint is ours’, like we’re in the saint’s corner and then I have another song called ‘I’m Not A Saint’. It’s so beautiful because the King, the Clown, and the G are still present on this album.
There’s no apologies in what I’m saying. I don’t mind that it contradicts itself because that’s what people do. The album is everywhere. It feels like it’s Hell, Purgatory and Heaven all over again. I’m telling stories that I’ve never told – that I was afraid to tell on some songs. It’s super personal and I’ve got a big chip on my shoulder again. It’s always been there, but it’s getting bigger having to prove to fans and critics that we ain’t goin’ nowhere.” -Tech N9ne from SM blog 2/8/13
"Tech was literally dancing in his seat with excitement about the new album and some of the featured artists on it. He couldn’t say who they were, but he did explain that the album will be broken up into three distinct sections — Fire, Water and Earth.
Fire, Tech said, will have darker tracks, but the CD will finish with a heavenly theme in the Earth portion.
“I’ve got some heavenly ‘We Are The World’ shit on this album, swear to God,” Tech said.
As for Water, Tech said he hasn’t quite decided, but possible themes might be partying or confusion." -DailyWIldCat.com 3/29/13

Permalink Reply by Alex M on July 7, 2012 at 9:15pm The living members of the doors brought a reel of unheard Jim Morrison vocals and used it for the chorus.
Andrew Blades said:
Jim Morrison is dead, so he definitely wont be on it. If anything the wife only has rights to the name "the doors," unless of course, this is gonna be a remix of an old track that was already done by the doors. otherwise, she would have no power over a new song the other members are doing with Tech
Alex M said:I didn't hear anything about it. I think it's going to be released whether Jim Morrison is on it or not.
Matt tHarmon said:Strange days ft the doors is that confirmed yet? I know they already recorded the song but I think they just recorded it I read an interview with tech saying he doesn't have the rights yet to the song Jim morrisons wife has to sign off for him to use it and he doesnt know if she wil and I'm doubting she will to becuse it's comport diffrent music and I just don't c her going for a rap song! Any news on this?

Real Pimpking said:
I hope Eminem, Chamillionaire, Rittz, Yelawolf & Hopsin will be on the album.
Permalink Reply by Smoke on July 7, 2012 at 9:50pm @ your second paragraph he will probably take more time considering he said he'd take his time this time. By that I mean he's still improving and developing and is actually taking his time on this one and will be sure to please even more with this one. Every album keeps getting better and better than the last. You have to endure to grow as he would say.
OP-8 said:
Nas/DMX/Mystikal already confirmed that they'd do it and Tech said he had beats for them ready so I can see that happening since Tech says he has to also see them on the beat and considering he still has the unused beats he'll do that. Other than that, I have a feeling that most mainstream rappers don't have much bureaucratic power. So even if Tech is willing to pay a rapper for a verse he'd have to pick people who have the most control over there own career. So probably Jay-Z/Kanye and even Eminem could do it since Jay-Z and Eminem have there own labels and Kayne for example is currently like Jay-Z's right hand man so he could most likely do it too.
The problem however, is that Tech said he wanted Jay-Z and Kanye for Kabosh and Eminem has never done a feature for any rapper that wasn't mainstream and in my opinion was just being nice when he said he'd make a song with Tech, so none of those would be in my opinion likely features for his next LP. What he could do though I doubt it, would be to feature the confirmed artists that didn't make it to all 6's and 7's and other big name rappers he's already featured such as Twista,Busta Rhymes,Kendrick Lamar, B.O.B, E-40. Then what he can do is add in features from his best strange music artists like Mayday,Brotha Lynch Hung, Ces cru, Jay Rock, Stevie Stone. Mix that together with his regular Krizz Kaliko and Kutt Calhoun features and he could have a really, really good album that could then top all 6's and 7's.
Again though another problem I see is that not only would Tech have to see Twista and Busta on a track let alone any one else he might feature, everything for that reason is still up in the air. In my opinion if Tech wasn't so picky or just tried harder to buy more beats he'd then have more to work with and more he saw fitting for the right features. The thing is that Tech doesn't put enough care into the production as he could.
If Tech tried just a little harder he could do obviously a lot more, but I doubt it. Most of Techs issues has always been because of his lack of musical effort. Tech's ability to make better songs and have better features has always mostly been because he's doesn't obviously like to spend a lot of money on beats.
I mean look at it this way, If some unknown dude like Crucified can get a Bizzy Bone feature " http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aRJ7NY_-UBw ". Then someone like Tech can easily get a lot of features like we've never thought possible.. It's just that Tech doesn't want to pay for a feature that he doesn't feel needs to be paid for and so he wants to be shown love by them and have those rappers reach out to him instead.
So in my opinion, I bet the next album is going to be a lot like a mix between All 6's and 7's/Welcome to Strangeland/Klusterfuk. I'm just not sure how that would turn out because his best effort was when he tried his best to get good beats and had only a few features like he did on Everready. I just think with how he's always trying to make everything sound like something you've never heard before that he's not likely to feature the same rapper again for another LP and isn't going to try harder to make a balance between what sounds new and what sounds good.
So in the end I bet his next album is probably going to have a few more tracks than usual that people will end up skipping. I also bet that just like with K.O.D and All 6's and 7's he's going to end up having songs that didn't make it to the album that are actually better than other songs on the actual album that seemed more like filler in comparison to for example the lost-scripts/bonus tracks.
I don't know, I just think Tech needs to spend more time and money on an album for once...

Aaron Ross said:
Omfg, I don't see what's so hard to comprehind about this. His collabos ARE his solo albums as well. Of course there is a difference, but they are still his solo albums. I know everyone liked to call his collabos "our" mixtapes. But Tech came out with a mixtape. Collabos albums are just regular solo albums by Tech, just with a lot of features on them. If you're bashing Welcome To Strangeland. Don't bash it because it's a collabos. Sickology 101 was badass, and it is a collabos.
DrMacYoHunny said:Dude there's a difference between. Solo "tech n9ne" and "collabos". Tech even says his collabos are more of his style of a mixtape. And a tech n9ne album would never have a shitty cd cover like WTSL. There's a pretty big difference.
Aaron Ross said:Idk what everyone is speachless is holding their head for. Tech's collabos are solo albums. They're still HIS studio albums. With a lot of collaborations on them.

Aaron Ross said:P.S. His Collabos are solo albums...just with a lot of features on them.
Aaron Ross said:Oh, I didn't realise that's what he was saying. Welp, Tech's the shit. And there's never been an album he's released I just straight up didn't like. So keep the links and videos posted to keep us updated Alex. Much appreciated.
MikeN said:Do you not know the difference between a solo album and a collabos? Cause every "thiller" album you named is a Tech solo album like Alex said and the ones you just named are collabos albums.... lol
Aaron Ross said:Lol, uh Alex. I only named 6 albums that were "Thriller" albums to me. The others he has released on Strange that I didn't name are: Misery Loves Kompany, Sickology 101, The Gates Mixed Plate, and Welcome To Strangeland.
Alex M said:So this should be a "Thriller" album then. Cuz you named every Tech solo release on Strange.
Aaron Ross said:Man, Travis said that this album's gonna be bigger than All 6's And 7's, good luck with that guys. I'm not saying it's not possible though. As far as I'm concerned, Tech has released 6 Thriller albums. Anghellic: Reparation, Absolute Power, Everready [The Religion], Killer, K.O.D., and All 6's And 7's. Obviously, Thriller albums referring to Michael Jackson's album Thriller. In other words, Thriller album: Every song on the album is at least good if not great. He's released six earthquaking albums, I'm sure he can lay down another one.t.
Permalink Reply by Smoke on July 7, 2012 at 9:55pm ok you're wrong about this clearly.
He's always reached out to popular rap artist. Never has he been scared to ask for a feature just difficulties occur.
Look at Busta, Twista, Tupac, Robert Troutman, almost with Mac Dre, Ice Cube, E-40, Scarface, ICP, KMK, and other names.
OP-8 said:
I just think that Tech's always wanted to gain full respect in the entire rap game even mainstream wise but was never confident in attempting that. But now that Lil Wayne has opened a lot of doors for him hes confident in looking to reach out to rappers like Jay-Z/Kanye West. Obviously he wants to change the way people see him so he can be as big as he feels/deserves to be. He's tired of people who ignore/sleep on him and is hoping to change that forever.

Permalink Reply by ֆӄʐ ♔ on July 8, 2012 at 3:14am You seem upset by my superiority. If you haven't noticed, I'm not the only one teaching you right from wrong. And you're the only one on this thread that needs it drawn in pictures to understand. As Tech says in interviews "I've got my collabos album coming out in _____, then I'll be working on my solo album."
Tech N9ne albums fall under two "series". His Solo albums, and his Collabos albums.
Feel free to check wikipedia, interviews or hell, even the front cover of the Collabos albums.
I shouldn't have really explained it to you because you're obviously not capable of comprehending, but when you hear Tech say it himself you'll be like "So what guys, simple mistake", just prepare for that moment.

Not only are you a cocky little mother fucker. You're also one of the dumbest mother fuckers ever. You don't tell me right from wrong boy.

Permalink Reply by Alex M on July 8, 2012 at 5:41am I hope he gets Yelawolf and Rittz on the same track. Maybe put them on WWC2. He's gonna have the obvious Strange features Krizz, Kutt, Stone, Jay Rock, Wrekonize and Bernz. Hopefully Lynch too. Forget Prozak, Scoob, and Ces Cru. But if he gets all the features he is reaching out for, which I doubt will happen, then this album will be loaded.
