Why do people hate tech n9ne

Tech tours constantly and as Korey Lloyd pointed out, he hits unlikely places. With many artists, fans will see them pass over Kansas City for bigger venues like Chicago or St. His dedication to connecting with fans no matter how popular the town or big the state helps maintain a dedicated following. I want to know. Spiritually I want to know, mentally I want to know. With 11 studio albums, a record label producing talented artists like Kutt Calhoun and Krizz Kaliko and a dedicated fan base, Tech proves to be a Kansas City success story.

His ambitious drive to perfecting the art he is passionate about and dedication to being true to himself and his hometown shows he will keep striving towards excellence.

Sunday, November 14, Downstairs, in the Kansas City offices of Tech's Strange Music label, there's a wipe-clean map of the United States tacked to the wall. In chinagraph pencil markings, the rapper's last US tour is plotted in military detail, taking in remote cities in Montana, Idaho, Nebraska — the kinds of places most artists never visit.

Away from the tour itinerary, other cities are circled: places Tech has never been, but where the Strange Music mail-order team have noticed clusters of shirt-buying fans; or where he's already established, but hasn't played for a while.

The battle plan includes sorties to no fewer than three Alaskan cities, but Hawaii is a problem: the islands' main promoter is worried that rabid Tech N9ne fans will cause a riot should he ever play a show there.

It's like a glimpse into a parallel universe, where hard work has trumped the hype machine. But it's all very real. Growing under the media radar, selling DVDs rather than having videos plastered all over MTV, playing gigs a year and taking his bizarre music and hyperactive stage show to parts of the country his contemporaries don't bother with, Tech and co have built a multi-million-dollar business that is geographically, financially and philosophically set apart from the rest of the music industry.

But that industry is finally starting to take notice. It helps, of course, that Tech N9ne makes music with the potential to reach a huge audience. His sound mixes gritty, sometimes rock-based beats with gothic keyboards and atmospheres, and his often confessional lyrics appeal strongly to emo and metal fans.

His rap moniker is a reference to his ability — a corruption of Technique Number Nine — rather than the Tec-9 handgun of gangsta rap lore, and he shares with some of his midwestern peers a flair for high-speed, machine-gun-syllable rapping. The story he wants to tell is complex, urgent and multifaceted: a tale of how a ghetto kid from the middle of the US grew up wrestling with his demons.

Show Me a God, the opening track of his seventh album, K. Elsewhere, he compares the compulsive infidelity that wrecked his marriage to a form of mental illness. And throughout the album — the title stands for King of Darkness — he plays with the belief, sincerely held among certain sections of his fan base, that his and his label's success results from him having sold his soul to the devil.

But even with such a vivid story, the odds were always going to be stacked against Tech N9ne. Nightbeats: Tech N9ne brings rap and hip-hop to the Mystic.
