Well, the hand that forms the shape of a 6 (and has 5 fingers) IS pointing up with the thumb. No other fingers on that hand are "pointing" as his hand is open with the fingers evenly spread. On the other hand, both his thumb and his pointer finger are out, the thumb pointing left and the pointer pointing down. In a way, you fail because in a sense you missed the point. I'm only saying that it looks like that hand sign could mean two things to him. The fact that you noticed the 57 a little late, does NOT in any way invalidate or rule out the possibility that the sign could have more than one meaning. And a lot of hand signs historically have incorporated one hand pointing one way and the other hand pointing the opposite. Maybe he isn't pointing p and down intentionally but MAYBE HE IS.... Maybe he isn't intentionally signing a 57 OR a 67, but it's fairly safe to say that the sign is intentional to some undetermined extent. The 67 of his hands also works like a frame around the hidden 67 in the snake & bat necklace.

You're just making shit up in your head

If Tech wanted his right hand to represent a "6"....... he would have made it look like a "6"

Just stop with the non sense lol

If you watch some documentaries on stuff like the supposed masonic idol Baphomet, he is usually painted or statued with one hand in particular pointing downward and one hand pointing upward. This is (from what I somewhat vaguely recall) supposed to symbolize either the connection or the dichotomy of heaven and hell, with Baphomet in between them (or possibly connecting them, I'm not sure)

 

I am not saying Tech N9ne represents Baphomet or anything like that at all; it's just interesting that 6's and 7's means confusion and disarray, and the tip of the 6 (666 being associated with underworld) is pointing to the heavens and the tip of the 7 (a number of biblical significance) is pointing to the underworld. The numbers are pointing the opposite direction from what they are traditionally correlated with, and this contradicting symbol totally fits in with the confusion and disarray concept behind the album.

 

Since my last post, I noticed something else. The snake and bat vaguely form a 67 themselves if you look for it.

 

Sure, I'm out on a limb here, but if you look for it, you'll see it too.

If you look at that screen shot from the video, yeah there's the 5 fingers out and the 7, representing RDV, but if you look at Tech's right hand, (on our left) with the 5 fingers out, the thumb looks like the top of a 6 and the back of his hand (excluding the 4 fingers) is totally shaped like a 6! The "meat" of the back of his hand plus the thumb upward (The evil 6 points up to God and the holy 7 points down to Satan) Mad confusion and disarray symbolism indeed! Tech has done a pretty sick job of tying things together ere in so many different ways.... first the periodic table of elements thing blew my mind, now this... absolute genius

I don't know what he's doing there (maybe repping 57 and 6s and 7s at the same time), but him being a Blood, I doubt he'd be flashing a 6, in what I'm assuming is a video with mainly Bloods. The Phillies logo is also used by Bloods quite a bit.

he's thrown up 57 for the 57th rdvs, not 67, his hand in no way looks like a 6. and the thing about the periodic table is most likely coinencidence(sp?), tech has always been about 67 and he explains it multiple times and not once have i heared him say because the vaule of kcmo on the periodic table equals it, show me proof where tech has said that and i will believe you
