5.0 out of 5 stars The Best Rapper Still Breathing, February 7, 2005

By

This review is from: Absolute Power (Audio CD)

In the more watered-down present day rap environment of pop and screaming teenage white girls, here we have an artist with something to say and a fresh spin on how to say it. Why he isnt well known outside the midwest is beyond me, although I've gathered from some sources that his different image (ie red hair) scares some of the big players in the industry away.

If you're tired of CDs that use 40 of the possible 80 minutes or contain 10 skits and 10 tracks - then you'll find this a good buy. Tech fills roughly 78 minutes of the CD and has only a couple skits mixed in.

His beats range from furiously fast to quirky, which is a perfect mirror to his rapping style and lyrics. "Slacker" and "Slither" will provide some more mellow listening, "T9X" and "Industry is Punks" more of a powerful burst, and many others blending both elements.

The main theme of the CD revolves around his growing recognition and popularity since his last release - "Anghellic". It also contains a little bit of the "Why Arent I Famous" element - a good question.

Tech N9ne's big selling point is not just his lyrics, but his incredible flow. He is perhaps the best flowing rapper ever, and thats without losing any kind of vocal power (ie Krayzie Bone).

Filler Tracks? Nope. Tracks you'll repeatedly skip? Nope. This is a deep CD. Making it even deeper is Disc 2 - The DVD that comes with the CD. It contains music videos, extra tracks, concert footage, and other additional content. (If you ever have the chance to see Tech live - do it!)

Although Tech loses a bit of the emotion and meaning that came with Anghellic, he definately hasnt lost a bit of his style and originality. Buy this album now.

5.0 out of 5 stars this guy is amazing, December 9, 2005

Tech N9ne is a breath of fresh air for fed up rap fans, such as myself. In an industry that's capitalized by over-used beats and weak lyrics, cough, 50 cent, cough, it's nice to hear someone with talent. His mood is dark and bleak, and his lyrics, speed, and flow are unmistakeable, and unparalelled. It's not fair that someone with this much talent isn't making the kind of money that mainstream rappers are, I guess he's too real and his lyrics are too raw for the American public. Underground artists such as Tech N9ne have more heart, because they rap for money, but more so for the love of rap. I apologize for interjecting my opinion into this review, but I think these guys need the recognition they deserve. Best songs are: Trapped in a Psychos Body, T9X, Worst Enemy, and Imma Tell(blisteringly fast rhymes), but all of the tracks on all of Tech's albums are good.
