“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

Who all thinks this will be a double disc LP? Cuz having time to think about it since he got off the hostile takeover tour and extending the date of release another month makes me think that the album will be phenominal but also makes me feel like it will be really long.

The voice isn't really what matters. I didn't like prozak's voice when I started listening to him but now I like it, same with SwizZz (I think tech should do a collab with him regaurdless of how much hype he doesn't have, he is a sick lyricist) I think tech should collab with Hollywood Undead, they are new and up and coming but they are basicly creating a new genre of rock rap music and tech would tear that shit up! Although, I have watched a couple hollywood undead interviews and I would have to say that they are ignorant in some ways, but in the big picture I wouldn't want that to get in the way.

Permalink Reply by CHainedOwl on February 27, 2013 at 11:19am I highly doubt it will be a double disc. I'd be really happy to be wrong, though.

Permalink Reply by ЖĭϞϬ ƦΔϟŦԃ on February 27, 2013 at 2:08pm I know Tech said he isn't the type of rapper to make 50-60 songs and then pick the best 15-20, he usually ends up making a handful of extras that get released for pre-orders, bonus tracks, etc. But I think it could be a pretty good idea, makes sense to me. Maybe that's why it's been pushed back so many times? It was originally supposed to come in October, before any plans for more EP's. I'm an aspiring emcee as well, and even I recognize that not everything is "album-worthy".
Killer was a good double disc album, but if he narrowed that down from 30 to 20 tracks it could have been a phenomenal album. Same with the last few E-40 albums. Dude releases 3 albums with 20 songs each all at once, and in my opinion most of it is filler. Kendrick cherry-picked songs with his last album, he said there's mad material that didn't make the cut. It depends on the artist's personal taste though, some rappers do this and release albums that are garbage. I don't know, maybe Tech just absolutely loves every single word that he writes in every single song.

Permalink Reply by Alex M on February 27, 2013 at 2:24pm I think it's getting pushed back so that all the features he wants on there have time to respond. That's why Eminem wasn't on All 6's and 7's because he didn't make the deadline.

I've been assuming that the main reason for the push-backs is to secure features (primarily Eminem). Too many times we've heard about who was supposed to be on certain tracks, but due to time constraints it never happened. I think since Tech has become more popular he wants to start getting the first features he wants on tracks to increase album quality.
Also, because of the recent success of the label he doesn't need to quickly push out an album to get revenue. It makes economical sense; plus Strange has plenty of material being released in 1Q anyway.
Permalink Reply by Alex M on February 27, 2013 at 2:51pm I hope Tech gets Eminem only because he has wanted him on a track for so long. Eminem is garbage now and Tech would embarrass him. If Tech brought out the old Eminem, that would be something special.
