Tech N9ne stays on the grind. All success to ya brother.

[@tinicoleofficial]

Kansas City Missouri legend🙌🏾 I ran into him before. He’s hella humble🙏🏾

[@KH9th]

I moved to KC two years ago. I ran into him at the movie theater on 119th and Nall and he was very humble. Fan for life.

[@cdog5664]

King Henry IX I do not even know who he is lol

Ya man he's such a cool down to earth guy .

[@vanessawalker5366]

[@swordofTheMorning1]

If you are a weirdo that smokes meth and bs. Or you from KS or CO. Plenty of lames. Don’t know what’s good listening to this bs. Even underground this is bs. Need to be banned. Extra lame ass dude

[@KiaAmire]

one of the most underrated of all-time

[@savalifetv]

Kia Amire Probably cause he's not necessarily Hip Hop.. He was accepted primarily by white audiences (music wise)..

[@Dukesucks]

Keith Jr. How does that make him not Hip Hop? He's still more popular with whites but I wouldn't say that means he's not/wasn't Hip Hop.

[@misterceo2168]

Dukesucks he’s right tho. He’s more limp bizkit

[@sickdaydsa]

Kia Amire legend

[@mexicandeicide1459]

Tech 9 and Immortal Technique.

[@kevin-qc7zv]

Tech is that dude. Never sold his soul, no major lable needed to push his album sales, no gimics, just pure lyrical talent. Watch out for king Iso next.

[@savalifetv]

upload2014 & he overcame being an addict.. Most abusers dont come back from that 💯

[@dhawwk]

I SHALL OVERCOME (king I.S.O) is up next! I bet money Tech has already signed him, it's just on the low though until the tour starts.

[@cdmp777]

omg tech??! This just made my day I'm so happy he's the best

[@MusikMasheen]

Just got out of a 5 year total, 2 year rocky, relationship with the mother of my 3 year old son TODAY. I needed to hear this. If he can get through this, I can get through this. He’s a veteran, I’m only 23. Much respect to tech. Been bumping since Midwest choppers. THE FIRST ONE. I had it downloaded on my psp riding my bmx around town

[@MindKontrolUltimateLevel3]

[@Woktoharlem]

[@GiftedGentleman87]

Man I Fuckin RESPECT the shit out of Tech9. When i 1st heard him 20yrs ago, i didnt like him cause he didnt sound like my fav artist... But once i found out he was a MASTER LYRICIST and he is 100% Independent... Man, that changed my whole perception of not just rappers but PEOPLE. He is unapologetically himself and that makes him cool. He should be in the RockNRoll hall of fame like rt now. True LEGEND.

Ruthless Bone *This Ring.... Right?

[@introvertplays6162]

1977rainDUB Nah he also made a song called "The Rain" with his two daughters...it has the theme of the anime series cowboy bebop as the beat...it is great...look it up on youtube...you won't regret it...if I remember correctly, it was on the 2nd CD of his Everready album!

[@Ruthlessbone]

1977rainDUB yeah that was another one. I meant to say the rain lol

[@jjamsdaddy]

Ruthless Bone 2nd verse of the song delusional is a good one too. “She .. feel like I’m gonna make them hate me, cause I was around to kick it and make them babies. And now that I made them got to escape them daily. And crazy, cause all doing is making the industry pay me. I wanna show my face, feeling everything’s great. Did a show then we ate then I’m outta that state. She Said I’m a good provider, but daddy of the year? Man I’m outta that race. How I compensate for the losses? They get often dates. That’s too personal let’s stop the tape. “

J. Jo they don't pick and choose what gets played, these three are not the masses of breakfast club. They are just the faces.

[@dvdndsWill]

Publicity is good regardless if you get the radio play or not. Gang Related soundtrack was my introduction to him because of Pac. No radio play, just a form of publicity through Death Row.

[@Isvvx]

He's on a publicity run.. he did Sway, Hot 97, No Jumper podcasts.. nothing personal, he's just trying to get his face out there to promote that heat he's about to drop!!

[@LaCheleWallace]

_Physical sales are down as hell._ That's an understatement, Aaron. Wait until this Summer. The last major retail outlets are phasing out physical copies of cd's. So long to _Best Buy_ and _Target._ _Walmart's_ probably in there as well. It's interesting that cd's are being phased out, but vinyl gets to stick around for a bit longer. I've actually never owned any vinyl. When I was little, I used to stay lookin' through my parent's record collection and they had it all. To name a few off the top of the dome, they had: Depeche Mode's _Music for the Masses,_ Janet Jackson's _Control,_ Michael Jackson's _Off the Wall_ & _Thriller,_ Rick James' _Street Songs,_ Prince's _Sign "☮" the Times,_ Grover Washington Jr.'s _Winelight_ and so much more. I've inherited all of my grandparents' vinyl collection. For sentimental reasons, I need LL Cool J's _Mama Said Knock You Out_ on vinyl since he's my first official introduction into hip-hop. I actually still have my very first cd player. It's this cute lil' white _Sony_ boombox that _"Santa"_ brought/bought me. I believe he stopped by _Montgomery Ward_ or _Sears_ before he gave it to me. It still works too. I actually still have a lot of cassette tapes that hold sentimental value. Mostly singles though. My dad was quick to tell me *_Nah, put that shit back 'cause you ain't gon listen to it. Go get the single._* Anyway, glad you're tellin' these kids to be easy on all them damn hair products. All I do is wash & condition every morning & night. I rarely use gels or sprays. I've never dyed my hair. Realistically, I'm _tenderheaded_ so I don't like all that shit in my hair.

The most underrated Rapper of our time, period. He was a TRUE independent artist -doing the shit long before you could just drop shit on the internet. He was pounding pavement and selling CD’s out of the trunk on the corner.. His lyrical ability surpasses all of these new artists, he is a true MC.. His capabilities are endless. Nice to see Tech finally get some of his flowers. If you don’t know Tech N9ne do yourself a favor and check out Caribou Lou, Dysfunctional, Leave me alone, Klusterfuck or any of his songs with features from diff rock groups like slipknot or Five finger death punch…

[@omarherrera8978]

Gotta admit i was sleeping on Tech, my sister used to bump him, and i didn't pay attention until i heard his verse on the Tha Carter IV - interlude and I was hooked, the next day I got 6s & 7s, bumped that for a week and then I bought all his CD's. Dope artist!!!
