5.0 out of 5 stars TechN9ne, June 6, 2003

By	J- Leeps (The Midwest) - See all my reviews

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Got Cash?, May 24, 2005

By	Lauris Wheeler "Junk" (Ocean City, MD USA) - See all my reviews

Ok, so check it out. I see the one seller selling this album for $499.00. Ok whoever is willing to pay that kind of money for an album, I don't care if it is good, because well this album is good, but, If you fork over 500 dollars to buy a cd, you should hire me as your personal consultant. Other than that Tech N9ne knows how to drop a rhyme and this album got dope beats.

4.0 out of 5 stars True Mid West Rap, April 21, 2001

By	HurricaneTung (Heart Of Kali) - See all my reviews

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
