Tech is a fucking beast. chopping like he does is so difficult.

[@cyliscarlson7107]

He's been doing it for about 15 years or so, I imagine that it's easy for him

[@princetherealest1]

Tech n9ne see me

[@alexrobinson1007]

Bruh, it's easy.

[@edgarvarela5954]

it's a lot more difficult to sound that clear than you think

[@alexrobinson1007]

Trust meEdgar Varela all you gotta do is practice.

[@tysonturnbo9761]

Tech pronunciates every word man

[@wenweru1]

Do you me 'enunciate'?

[@Anfubvinch]

Do you mean 'mean' ?

[@joshanderson9091]

Anfubvinch I think he "me" annunciate lol

[@wenweru1]

Josh Anderson No, I meant enunciate.

[@hloyhesit8403]

tyson turnbo enunciate

[@loltom3703]

About 10 years ago a friend of mine died and several kids were terribly injured, in a drunk driving accident on the way back from a Living Legends concert. My buddy was quite well known and loved throughout our community so it was a big loss for lots of us. Living legends got wind of what happened and came to our local community center and did a show in memory of my friend. About a week later Murs came back to that center to do a solo set, there must have only been like 150 people. Small show. I went up to Murs after the show and extended my thanks to him and the whole living legends crew for coming to show us their fans that they cared about what this little community was going through and how much that meant to me. Murs reached out gave me a fist bump and then pulled me in and gave me a big hug, thanked me graciously for supporting his music and asked me about my friend. We talked for about 10 minutes as if we were buddies. He asked questions, and we had a conversation. Ive been to nearly a hundred shows and met dozens of artists, but Murs is by far the most genuine celebrity i have ever met and i will always have mad love for who that man is as a person as well as how good he can rap. 💯

[@EHKOS]

it's nice to know even tech messes up sometimes....like that shirt ha-ha.

[@marquisjohn5175]

that's a Jordan sweater

[@jadinkosmma5459]

+Marquis John its still ugly

[@marquisjohn5175]

+Seems Legit lol

[@latinkingsavage3575]

+Seems Legit true

[@thatguy-mp3vz]

every artist does

[@KuttyCalBaby]

Damn, Murs with the shoutout to the Bone Thugs. Looking forward to hearing what this guy can do on Strange

[@soquidsnake34]

Love how Murs is reacting to Tech but Kalikos just on his phone like “yep there he goes again”

[@dethklokicksbutt]

I’m pretty sure he was looking up his own lyrics

[@tjsandrasaliu4562]

Krizz killed me with that funny flow!....lol

[@OverlorBeats]

Murs ... wow still a fan this dude always delivers and Sway a fool !! Yo said Krizz looked at him and he felt a way ... lol!!!

[@em-tandtonymavey3373]

Can you listen to my new song Die Mumble Rap? If you do,leave a like,subscribe and leave a comment

[@briansanders9309]

Cypher = freestyle or written. So people shut up about the "not a freestyle" comments

[@KRLS-Anknown]

Brian Sanders they don't understand shit.

[@dustinclark83]

definitely seems written and memorized since when Tech fucked up he said the same exact words again for the first couple lines.

[@em-tandtonymavey3373]

an you listen to my new song Die Mumble Rap? If you do,leave a like,subscribe and leave a comment

[@dieseldabz7104]

Brian Sanders cypher=freestyle or written freestyle doesn't =written. Hence the word "Freestyle " like as in free hand or off the top of your head. Make sense?

[@dncovjsbeicj]

Thanks for tellin man, I was confused and was gonna ask about why both the freestyle from Krizz and MURS are in the first Strangeulation Cypher (Tech's might be written as well, I may just not recognize it (if it is, someone please tell lol)) and in this so, thanks for explainin

[@johncisneros660]

I love how tech n9ne just spit all those bars while chewing gum hes truly the GOAT

[@SauceGPT]

He spits it out while he raps and puts it back in though. He a goat though

[@yahboicheatcodedude9334]

He’s rapping a verse on his old song and messed up on it. Nah dude he’s not.

[@luherrera8118]

@@yahboicheatcodedude9334 That’s what most rappers do on radio Freestyles

[@Weareroses]

Plus everything I seen from murs in the last few years, he's really defined his flow. Been a fan since the before the living legend days, Man I miss those hip hop days, the three melacony gypsies tho.

[@bigboi9289]

I need that full interview up here asap Strange Music keeps growing Tech added another great artist to the roster

[@TheNukaDudeTheChaosGod]

Always love listening to Tech and Kriss rap but I'm pumping to hear more from Murs!

[@zerosixz33]

Loving the clip, Sway. Felt like back in the day when I'd wanna stay home Saturday nights just to tape the Wake Up Show.

[@MPK1999]

Tech's delivery is so fucking.... BEAST!!!

[@Matt_Underwood]

Damn, Murs spit that on the Strangeulation Cypher too

[@paulglenn3396]

+Matt Underwood i think it caught him off guard haha

[@swagohlictrack3237]

+Matt Underwood They've all prepared their ryhmes. But their rhymes are way better than all these other rappers that come up on Sway.

[@chanceturner2866]

they all just spit their own lyrics lol

[@kingpsyche8257]

ikr

[@freestonsfinest4002]

what song is that again? i recognise the lyrics but cant remember the song title lol

[@lucalarosa1190]

So much good energy and talent 🎉

[@RazorTreewise]

Its great to see everybody involved having so much fun :)

[@ELBStr8Cash]

Murs killed it with that Bone line.

[@akabuca96]

Also loving the lil scrappy beat there for murs

[@jaimegarza7220]

Strange music never seems to let me down now with murs and the label I can see nothing but even further greatness Hell I heard fragile on the radio yesterday night heading out to a party #UndergroundPowerHouse #Technicians #StrangeNation!

[@801shawnE116]

Tech is a real one, the support he gives his comrades is crazy.

[@HeyImPancakes]

If yo say you lost respect for Tech because of this you don't know what respect is. Stop using that word so freely. People lose respect over anything now that word used to mean something. And yes it was off his song who cares it was a unprepared cypher. If you don't know what you're talking about then don't talk.

[@sullyvanj93]

Mitchell Bade gonna say this again... "i noticed that in another cypher, tech used the who do i catch verse. I honestly think that half of tech's songs are freestyles that he just puts on an album. like he busts those things out faster than any other rapper. so I wouldn't read too much into him recycling versus for "freestyles", cause he probably used all his freestyle lyrics in past albums haha"

[@iamjachrys617]

Jake Sully No. I know Tech. He writes everything!

[@brandonboydstun6501]

Freestyle is supposed to be unprepared. It if off the top of the head kind of shit... xD

[@lKr0NiClK]

Fuckin dope! Perfect addition to the Strange camp. Definitely wanna see Murs work with Mayday again and definitely would like to hear a Ces Cru and Murs collab. LMFAO @ Krizz's face when he paused. Had me on the floor.

[@RazielRodriguezz]

Tech is impeccable with the flow no doubt about that. Krizz is just a phenomenal vocalist and Murs just murder's bars and any beat he gets to lace.

[@ThaFuzzyMan]

FREESTYLES ARE CAN BE ANY PRE-WRITTEN LYRICS! THEY ARE ALMOST NEVER OFF THE DOME! EVEN THE BEST DON"T JUST MAKE IT UP ON THE SPOT. The only one who didn't freestyle was Krizz because he was reading as he went.

[@ThaFuzzyMan]

*Freestyles can be...

[@StevenDeArmond]

ThaFuzzyMan by definition if its written it aint a freestyle

[@CuzImHalfAsian]

and tech n9ne that was a song verse

[@ThaFuzzyMan]

Steven DeArmond You don't know what a freestyle is then.

[@MrMagoo414]

Come on guys, why does everyone need to continue arguing about what a freestyle is or isn't? How about we just think what we want to think, and enjoy the music?

[@KennyWhite115]

Can't wait to hear more from MURS.

[@QRZ.GDL33]

Every syllable crispy clear 😮😮😮

[@Tommy4gm]

Nice to see Murs doin his thing...hope strange can bring em dat attention...he got that cypher too!

[@iDeKz]

i find it crazy i found murs on the TEAMBACKPACK cyphers, glad he found his lane

[@wolfblood98]

Murs has mad barz everytime I hear one of his songs it's just straight fire

[@feelinewzelan]

Murs went in

[@godofrockking]

[@adrianneware4565]

[@colleenlancaster7799]

[@unevan570]

Krizz massively underrated genius kali baby!

[@akabuca96]

tech n9ne's was his last verse from "See Me"

[@ShahzebDCE]

[@baltimorejoe5284]

Strange music 4 life

[@dragonup56]

Damn, Murs killed it!

[@lils3bz]

Omg he's like yall better wrekonize like mayday :D awesome

[@djzun3]

That Thuggish Ruggish Krazie Layzie Bizzy Wish and Flesh line was sick!!!

[@jakewolf901]

That was one of tech 's best flows

[@wxyz5677]

2:52 "Oh you caught that?" LMAOOOOOOOOOOOO

[@davidsmith-uw2ci]

I like how Murs shouted out Bone Thugs a lil bit Bone & Tech one of the G.O.A.T. loved this video

[@vincelove46]

that was Tech's verse from See Me feat Wiz Khalifa

[@treymontellano2060]

murs went hard on the spot shit that was dope

[@stevenjm12]

great signing by strange. murs a beast on the m-i-c

[@AFFRA]

Tech is just full of energy lmao

[@littleshadow2707]

They all killed it

[@andrewa1326]

Damn Tech's "See Me" fast. He killed it!!!!!

[@RumitheBartender]

Techs reaction to Krizz! Lmao priceless

[@mikegasper8559]

MURS KILLED IT wow I never say anybody is better than tech

[@enderlords9399]

vid is 420, gotta blaze it

[@angelob2383]

Oh snap Tech said "you all better recognize (wreckonize) like ¡MAYDAY!

[@Milassoccer]

SO DOPE!! YIIR NICE WITH THE HOMAGE TO BONE THUGS !!

[@AlejoChris73092]

Murs been killin it.

[@Propane_Flame]

if you're a real technician you would know tech almost never freestyles those are written bars.

[@freestylehelpme]

I don't think he's ever done a true freestyle. He always does the first verse from Who Do I Catch

[@DALykes]

Steven Lovell no he use to do freestyles but cause of the drugs he did that he can't freestyle anymore and the first verse from Who do I catch was a freestyle for the most part he just put that in the song

[@VOD-Kanal]

@@SoSSySlime i know im a bit late but seriously, some Rappers just arent battle Rappers but can still produce great music. Kanye West, the game, g eazy and probably maaany other huge Rappers cant freestyle without being prepared. Id even say most have some verses prepared for the case that they have to freestyle.

[@aldotheapache]

Ay Bih boy you play fortnite get out lmao

[@mariobtron5907]

They trash too

[@bryancastro7837]

when tech goes off im like da fuck he just say i have to listen to it twice sometimes lol

[@rarecandy9203]

Krizz killed it when he dropped that 2 second humming ....but yea the others went in as well

[@bush2810]

The flow is crazy

[@mrdempsey95]

keen to hear strangeulation, murs killed it

[@franciscosalanga]

Right after Murs kills it, you can see him sit back into his seat and come to wit, as if he had actually blacked out. BEAST.

[@Bdai21OO]

Nice to See Murs Got on, Went from Backpack to Strange Music.

[@gregory57481]

thats an impressive addition tech he got flow!

[@rockclimbing3844]

Fun day in the office!!!!

[@MrOvadose101]

MURS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That is how you do it. Real MC's are keeping the culture alive. Glad to see him land somewhere so he can put out more music.

[@soimboredandtesting]

MURS WENT IN

[@GameReaper94]

this is the first I've heard from Murs. he's pretty good, glad he signed with Strange ^S^

[@enonoch]

did murs and kaliko use the same thing for the tech cypher?

[@phillipwattigney1693]

All 3 recycled verses. Sway caught them unprepared haha

[@GameReaper94]

Tech's verse was from "See Me" off Something Else, and Murs and Krizz used their Strangeulation verses. Tech usually uses one of his songs when he's on a cypher. For a while, he was using the first and third verses from "Who Do I Catch"

[@opieulkup9335]

phillip wattigney having a verse ready to go is the opposite of unprepared. freestyle doesnt mean it cant be written. learn something bruh.

[@brandonboydstun6501]

So much for being Freestyles. I was thinking the content woulda been of the top of their heads on the spot.

[@ChahProductions]

That Bone Thugs line was sick! Murs definitely killed it.

[@Xst0neX4]

murs ent nuts man ..got damn

[@Mrdevs96]

whaaaat! they signed Murs??! i love him and slug of Atmosphere

[@brendenjoey6102]

Soooo dam dope!!! Strange life!

[@i1024getCA]

Kaliko’s the only person not freestyling in this. His eyes are glued to the phone.

[@skthechef8075]

Yess love it

[@candicewilmont4436]

Sway=GIF

[@baileymcmanus1816]

That BTNH reference though

[@thevoidangel6235]

Off The Dome-Is a rap/verse an artist does off the top of his head. Free-Style-Is when a rapper does a verse of his/hers and uses it on another beat and has to change the flow to match it. Or it can be off the dome.

[@stuwaite5076]

they all dope

[@brandonholmes4744]

coldest bar .......yall better wrecknize like mayday........tech nine
