Is Tech N9NE still the favorite Rapper for Black people who don't have any Black Friends?

Thread title is hilarious. I spent some time in Iowa for graduate school, and I'll never forget this one bar with all the white women who worked there would do shots and put Tech N9ne on the jukebox and rap along word for word. Lower class white chicks from the Iowa/Omaha border. Dude has the most bizarre and improbable cult following: dark corners of flyover states, KC, and the Bay area.

No lies told.

I remembered coming from the library and seeing the old Olympic Lounge packed for a Tech N9ne concert. The lines were so long, damn near everybody was turned away.

Dude does have a huge fanbase in that area. I can't front.

Tech n9ne is....really good though....if you actually appreciate the skill of rap rather than adhering to some weird social allegiance you should be able to acknowledge that...its pretty obvious....

I swear, some of yall dont really acknowledge skill in anything in an objective sense...you're more on the lines of "whose listening to them" and "are they saying what i want them to say". And theres so much more to MC skill than that.

That’s not his lane

Tech is an underground rapper like MF Doom and such.

A lot of white people like underground rappers in general and not specifically him.

Dude did his own thing and got successful without c00ning. I respect that.

I wouldn't say he chose to be indie....he was signed to 3-4 labels and didn't go anywhere on any of them. I don't remember the label but he was even briefly signed to Quincy Jones WB imprint.

Granted, I'm talking early in his career. I remember seeing his CDs for sale in Recycled Sounds on Main and 7th Heaven on Troost....this was the early 90's. The first album on Strange Music was "Absolute Power" in 2002, so he was trying to get on for damn near a decade before going indie.

The next year he was touring with ICP, after that his career in the underground blew up.

I didn't know a single black person that fukked with him, outside of a couple songs.

Went to Central, Paseo and Westport....graduated in 1995, was all over the city all through the 90's and nobody was really playing his shyt. Which is why I'm not clowning him for the ICP shyt, it's not as if he got support on a grass roots level from his own city.

I definitely agree he was well respected among rappers....but then again so is K-rino and rap fans clown the fukk out of him. It is what it is.

Fred.

me and all my friends fukked with tech, but there was a hard shift from black fans to white fans. I remember going to a couple of his concerts and being at the Absolute Power photoshoot/mini concert at Uptown and it was hella black people there.

But after that, yeah the white people took over. And yeah he was on some with Quincy but it wasn't like he was on like Universal or a major-major.



And it's funny you mentioned K-Rino, he's my favorite rapper. LMAO.

 

[8WON6]

gotta give him some credit though, he can rap, there was a song with him, busta and twista on and he def did his part

and this shyt is hard too.
