It's so good to have a extraordinary rapper trying to teach us something. Because the most o rappers keep their methods like they're afraid of somebody learn and take their positions. Man, you're gifted but somebody told you how to get the lyrics structured right, how to put rhymes in a way that you can sound better, how to improve your voice and etc. I have a lot of respect for guys like nine. Music is a beautiful art and him knows that. 🎵

[@anthonyhooyer5225]

BARS RIGHT HERE

[@anthonyhooyer5225]

Tech: *mentions something super humbly* Sway: *DING THAT MF'ING DOORBELL NOISE*

[@TheAlbiCollier]

He should have his own documentary! And it should be mandatory for every rhymer to watch it.

[@ki3ran191]

It's fucking true, I'm not really a fan of that type of style, but I mean what he writes and spits is amazing. it's beautful

[@Menime7184]

Tech N9ne and Bone thugs n harmony, the two things missing from "the art of rap".

[@SuperLalalablablabla]

damn straight on the bone thugs tip, ICE T takes an L for that

[@AT420951108]

Its funny, Tech is my favorite rapper, and I've been using the exact same method for writing before I saw this.

[@anthonyhooyer5225]

Osmosis

[@Quail-qk9lr]

Same

[@CageKidz]

Thought I was trippin. I been countin the syllables and shit too lol it just made the most logical sense to me.

[@UnKommon727]

"hes a mental giant" bad ass song

[@thebmcblackmiccatcher3949]

Cant stop from liking tec9ne

[@NimaTproductions]

Tech definitely inspires me. I think anyone can rap honestly and be on beat but the technique of actually speeding up and making patterns is truly unique. Not everyone can do it… I mean I heard a lot of fast rappers but they just be slappin' together some bs and saying it fast…But Tech n9ne definitely has meaningful lyrics as well.

[@killasambo6192]

Crazy how time flys to know this show was done about 7 to 8 years ago

[@kairoofficial5722]

Wow Tech is so different from all the other rappers, such an alien.

[@unclesam530]

Halloween, tech knows what's up

[@Macieks300]

I want more Tech!!

[@Pr0fexion]

2:55 - 3:05 This is why I love Tech, even when he's sitting in the chair he still has enthusiasm.

[@MusicMoneyMatt]

I was never into his music but hes a genius!

[@michaelschneider305]

tech n9ne for life

[@riverjao]

Tech is ill but that was the most annoying interview that I've ever seen! Shut up the freaking ding noise and the super low and then super loud mic's and let the man freaking talk!

[@jamoinsen.]

Pls tell me how to get inspiration and how to find rhymes in head an not with machines

[@johnbrachs5236]

Dammit I was thinking about how you could write songs this way the other day. Then this video got suggested just now.

[@LacuinFamily]

I love his writing format... Never thought of having my tv on and muted while I write for visual inspiration.

[@PokeTwilight]

Ice-T please invite Tech into the next Art of Rap! I love the series! But I want to hear from Tech!

[@frythesacred]

Really, he's a very intricate artist. It would be very interesting entering the mind of the N9ne.

[@PokeTwilight]

+Jeffery Abner (Plan A) Agreed!

[@paypaplanejayne]

Great minds think alike 👌🏼

[@Oxb5400]

thanks man

[@alizth3wick3doueen58]

Tech teaches anything and I'm like the student in front of the class. lol. he is a remarkable teacher and what he has to say is important!!! :-)

[@venitocrouch00]

I wanna use this technique for indie comedy

[@estylesMusic2024]

This Kat broke down how a amazing Flow Artist paints his Pacaso - E-Styles Spotify Artist

[@devanshraizadavaid3197]

That old clip was also on the "Beef" trilogy. He wasn't actually interviewed for it :(.

[@JuggaloPops]

Tech Is the greatest *DING*

[@DJUncleSkeeter]

@Jeudaos that'd be sick, I'm sure they'll catch him a break when part two hits the scenes.. Forreal tho, where can I get that art of rap movie online?

[@christianbessard7206]

The art of rap is now my favorite movie but alot of my favorite artists were left out of it, Tech, Bone Thugs, Crooked I, Kurupt, etc, its certain people that really should have been in the movie because fast rappng kinda plays a big part in hip hop, they touched on it with Kool Moe Dee but never really revisited.

[@bradpovodja7997]

this bloke is the best on the planet tech n9ne 4 lyfe

[@VMONdaDON]

he got lyrics for days and his vocabulary is unmatched in rap so far but eminem is the only one i think might touch him

[@hittheground2329]

Tech n9ne is so talented

[@nhalexhale420513]

is there a whole video to them n the studio?

[@joseflores-lp3zp]

omg if tech n9ne ever gave a writing class i would be in tht bitch everysingle day!

[@mccage2013]

Sway shoes tho

[@FrozenEmotionz]

Lol

[@Riley.m565]

Wow shiney

[@seandafny]

FUCKING HEADPHONES JUST BROKE RIGHT THIS MOMENT THE ANGER CANNOT BE EXPLAINED. IF SANTA CLAUS DONT COME THRU THERE IS GONNA BE ONE ANGRY NIGGA ON THE LOOSE

[@kodyclegg3277]

Should be seen by all tech is my favorite rapper he kills everyone from rockin the Mic to show performances! every rapper out needs to take note underground will always have better flare than mainstream being led by tech! Even if it's not your style you cannot see this and say that's not talent! Love it all! Technician for life!

[@TehDooksta]

I see what you did there! Lel

[@ddray1992]

+TehDooksta you're killing me smalls.

[@rjohnson296]

Hell yeah you got something to say! Let it be known that Tech N9ne is the Best!

[@grimreaper44441]

Tech should be in pt 2

[@FlawdaBoy4]

damn this was crazy

[@ninja011dog]

He was on The Art of rap! I seen that shit! He was on it for like six seconds when he had his crazy hair. He says ''You can't fuck with me lyrically because you have to do what I do, plus'' :) Just thought yall should know. Tech, Ice got you.

[@CuriousGeorgeMusic]

i hear man, and my simple response is to each is own... All I know is that Tech is the only artist that blew my mind when I first heard a couple years ago and has been the only artist that has kept me interested, maybe it's just his story that intrigues me, but also he does have a message, and he seems like a real genuine person, that's why I'm really such a big fan but like I said agree to disagree, we all have our own preferences and opinions, there's a million gemstones out there in the world

[@HAyNxBOix33]

he needs to be on The Art of Rap, no doubt!!

[@nirib1111]

I got alot of respect for tech. He even said in a interview after eminem and royce hosted that halloween show on shade45 em acknowledged tech and said he was a ill rapper and one of the best out. Tech responded by saying To have eminem recognize him was like being accepted by the best lyrically. #TECH&EM

[@captainx9522]

its been a while Ice-T. Where's Part II?

[@D40Oz1]

tech is a cool fucking dude!

[@xxxmrhankixxx]

technically and probably otherwise too he brought rap to the next level

[@thenopasslook]

What songs are those verses from?

[@Oxb5400]

did he make a song of thos rhymes 2:57?? cause fuck man that was crazyy

[@ulton7241]

yeah its called He's A Mental Giant

[@RealGuild]

Thats fukkin awesome Tech9 goddamn

[@CuriousGeorgeMusic]

Nobody's better then Tech... hands down

[@juniorsoccer105]

fucking genious.

[@iverson25allen]

Multisyllabic rap style. Percee P and Kool G Rap 101.

[@AllNight3r]

DING! You've been Stunted!!!

[@TheDashawn15]

Worldwide then another

[@hiraymondduarte9176]

Foos tight

[@BlazinIt101]

if you dont already know you sleepin!!!

[@BlueGuise9]

Why do they keep dinging the bell?

[@Bombing310]

Damn I Gots To Get Me One Of Those Strange Chains!!!

[@duffmaiden]

krizz kills it

[@EzTactikz]

he's trying to teach and they're all being obnoxious

[@EzTactikz]

Im trying to learn

[@MrPisster]

Really. Let the man speak. He's used to packing deep content into every sentence, because he's trained his brain that way.

[@AaronTheGhost1]

for real, im paying attention hella closely and they ringing the bell and shit

[@MCALLAN1998]

Or they're just having a bit of fun because it's a radio station not a classroom

[@pj-ohnson5024]

@@MCALLAN1998 whats the point of having him if they are just going to keep interrupting while he trying to answer their questions

[@nhalexhale420513]

art of rap. its like a documentary. they got it on here just look it up

[@_Talksick_]

Some parts of this video were super loud, i had to turn my speakers down but then back up when tech was speakin

[@nystagmus]

i somewhat agree. One dude that has pretty good flow and talks about real political issues is lowkey. Bone thugs have very good lyrical content with a strong message and an amazing flow. But tech's flow is phenomenal, i'll give him that.

[@ninja011dog]

Yeah, I knew he wasn't interviewed, but he was on there. ;)

[@LonerBecause]

I like his technique its different

[@zZLucky13]

I swear Tech had a hangover or he was high when this happened lmao He's still awesome as hell

[@daedae3ify]

he definitely should've been on art of rap..

[@iTeriyakid]

All around the planet, I run the gamut on "sickology" lol.

[@TheDashawn15]

What song is that

[@eduardomercado9058]

He's a mental giant.

[@YungKorg420]

lol fuckin Kali! "Yes he did"

[@Mykahaia]

I'm currently trying to do this...but I simply can't...

[@smalls5607]

Me as well i just do not understand when he was beat boxing to get lyrics..

[@Mykahaia]

I just can't find the words to match the speed I want to do the rhymes...I always lack or have spare syllables in the verses...

[@Anonymous27x]

Mykahaia edit

[@paypaplanejayne]

It’s easy jus practice

[@paypaplanejayne]

Michael Araojo yes edit! You know what you wanna say already jus edit it to fit that pocket

[@jonn9ne174]

its like stun 10!... I lost my shit lmao xD

[@chokey8607]

I mean, I was in the book or whatever, so *DING*

[@friendlyschizo]

He probably just wants to make sure everyone knows what he's saying before they start hating so they don't make a fool of themselves.

[@Bengalsfan089]

Definitely true lol I was just messing mann

[@thebmcblackmiccatcher3949]

#sway CAN YOU GIMME TECNINE CONTACT???

[@SinisterKillaTech9]

Fact ^S^

[@Oldies2703]

tell you what...that CEScru is dope. ubiqitous is dope as fuck

[@maoriking312]

He wasnt on there, you're talking about The Art Of 16 Bars

[@AyooRaekwon]

@CuriousGeorgeMusic eminem n royce is

[@SoopaSlick]

Rittz should explain his shit also haha

[@BLACKGURU635]

i know the process

[@cschaffyt]

the "follow me all around the planet of ------------ psychology" is from world wide choppers )i put ---- cause i have no clue what he said" and "narcassistic, hard to grip it: is he's a mental giant"

[@BlazinIt101]

lol woke up 07 never to late

[@fitzgerald8291]

SWAYS loud ass shoes lol

[@samseloo4962]

Goddamn just let him talk

[@ToxicRa1n4]

[@ninja011dog]

I've never seen the art of 16 bars.... I know what I'm talking about and yeah, he was on there.

[@lilmanjp]

Wwwwhhhhoooww

[@Ethan-yx3xd]

They need to let him speak

[@TopTierTealTippedSpears]

@GSweany you're*

[@g-funk484]

if they put tech9 in the art of rap movie part 1 it would make everyone else look like they have no idea how to rap.. the end

[@PurePerceptionRecord]

wow the other dudes mic is wayyyyy too loud

[@DJUncleSkeeter]

..why wouldnt he be? btw where can i get that shit bootlegged.. cant buy it nowhere around here

[@strangeemotion4509]

I liked the art of rap video but serious ice t fucked up when he ain't tell tech

[@Chocpudnin]

what was the dinging for... I don't quite get it??

[@ruelisaac4563]

it was for stunting in a way it means bragging or showing off what you got or how big you are in a less aggressive way lol

[@indianajamz3507]

I wouldn't be hurtin that I didn't make art of rap, ice t did a horrible job editing that movie he managed to put a damn near 2 hour movie together with less than 15 minutes of actually talk on the art of rap!

[@Jack-Lack]

Turn the volume down on the peanut gallery.
