Reissue of this album from the underground rapper, originally released in 1999 Like many rappers in the Midwest, Tech N9ne specialized in bizarre Hardcore Rap and stood as one of the few recognized rappers based in Kansas City when he debuted in the late '90s. This re-issue contains the songs 'Planet Rock 2k', 'Cloudy-Eyed Stroll (Remix)', 'Flipside', 'Mizzizy Gets Bizzy', 'On Our Way to L.A.', 'Spend the Night', 'Clueless' and others.

Techn9ne is one of the illest rappers ever. I have heard 5 of his cd's and haven't been disappointed yet. He has a very unique style that can't really be compared to anybody.He can rap slow or hang with the fastest like Twista. His lyrics and the way he spits them are crazy and original.I think the best songs on here are #2, #4, #5, #8,and #12 although the whole cd is excellent. Anyone who is serious about having the tightest rap out there needs to have some Tech N9ne in their collection.......Also check out his latest cd which is tight as hell entitled Absolute Power...Hope you found this review to be helpful.

Tech N9ne is hands down the most talented hip hop artist out there. His voice is exceptional, the lyrical content of his songs is exceptional, and most of all, his flow is beyond belief. Tech is very articulate as he rhymes telling it how it is. It is probably best classified as underground (semi) gangster rap. Even his album covers contain very deep meanings that he explains in the Tech N9ne DVD released with his latest album Absolute Power. But this album is by far the best, and this is coming from an experienced hip hop listener. I hope you enjoy Tech as much as I do.

This has to be one of the tightest mid west albums to drop since twista's adrenaline rush, even though it's new, it's still has to be the best. Those who don't know about Tech N9ne yet, peep game and get this album along with "Worst". Get this ish quick. Peace
