I can now officially say I’m proud to have Aaron Yates ( Tech N9ne) as a fellow Missourian. And I’m a big fan of real shit in my music. “So I murdered five kids of mine/I’m ’bout to sit in hell a lifetime bid for mine.” Since this article mostly came out of my fucked-up brain as an ode to Tech’s self-confessed fucked-up-ness, I figured I’d include this guilt-ridden ode to abortion. Tech has said that he feels this is his most slept-on album it’s obviously a favorite of his.
This album to me definitely seemed in The Slim Shady LP (dare I say influenced by?) vein. XXL called it the best song of his early career.ĥ.
Makes sense after I read that Tech’s a big Parliament fan. “ The Worst” (from the album of the same name) Rappers seem to judge their place in the game by his gravity, like Neptune, Mars, and Jupiter shouting out to the Sun.Ĥ. Love or hate Ye (I understand both), he remains the epicenter of pop culture. I never thought I’d hear Tech rap about Ye. “I love Kanye, his shit is bombay, but I’m rough.” I just found this interesting. “ This is Me” (also from 2006’s Everready) His kids rap to him, and they do a pretty damn good job.ģ. I never knew Tech did this shit! The chorus is cemented in the American pop-culture consciousness, but the verses are filled with some quality advice about how to cheat on your lady friend and keep her more in the dark about it than Stan’s girlfriend is in the trunk. “ I’m a Playa” (from 2002’s Absolute Power) Here’s a few of my other favorites I came across:ġ. They were missing a couple (“ The Anthem” above seemed to be the main one), but you’ll definitely get the idea. I also made a Spotify playlist for y’all so you don’t have to. This isn’t Pitchfork, so I can say nice things like that. Once I started going through XXL’s list of Tech N9ne’s 30 Most Essential Songs, like most everyone I’ve ever actually invested time into understanding, Tech started to win me over.
It starts off with a sobering revelation. This video is a tear-jerker, where Tech questions whether the God he’s praying to for his sick mother is even up there. I can’t see Tech and The Postal Service recording a duo album in Seattle anytime soon. For a wannabe hipster douchebag like myself, it was initially a little off-putting. “When I first saw them, I was like, ‘Wow! More psycho motherfuckers like myself!’ I loved it.” Once again, dude knows he’s a bit crazy. Now, I was always under the impression that the only people who listened to Slipknot were the hillbilly kids from back home that needed some good 4-wheelin’ music to trod off into the woods and snort Vicodin to, but it appears their fanbase is broader than I originally thought-extending even into the wide world of hip-hop. Perusing a list of Tech’s favorite albums, Slipknot is on there.
