:snoop: there's a difference between having white fans & making music for cacs/whites. Wu Tang has white fans, Flo Rida is the one who makes music for cacs. i don't hear ANY Tech N9ne songs that sound like Flo Rida

who would want to listen to that? Gucci Mane doing a song with Taylor Swift isn't going to open him up to a whole new audience is it?

granted, he does have a lot of Jesse Pinkman type fans..

This is a pretty significant understatement...not only does he have "a lot" of those fans...they're the single solitary primary force behind his entire draw as a succesful independent artist...without that weird cac'd out juggalo cult fanbase, Tech N9ne would be about as successful as Spice 1 or Yukmouth is in the year of lord 2012...

shyt, if you were an indy artist..with no mainstream exposure, and the casual listener doesn't even know what the hell you look like.....would you care what color your fans were if you were selling out shows all over?

them white folks are the ones who will buy your album, and show up at your concerts... nikkas will listen to your shyt,wont buy the album cause they can spend that 12.99 somewhere else, and :stopitslime: at paying money to see you perform.

if Spice 1 or Yukmouth had built the type of loyal fanbase that Tech did...and the work ethic, they'd be on a forbes list too.

Tech was down with Yukmouth back in the late 90's, he has worked with all kinds of rapeprs who have a more "black" or "street" fan base. but all i hear from people like you is how he looks or complaints about his music that you haven't actually listened to. just assumptions because he wears face paint at his shows.

Basically this.

Tech N9ne been on his grind for like 2 decades making a crazy number of shows and hustling to get where he's at and has a strong fanbase, he should throw all of that because they're white ?

:pachaha: fukk no I wouldn't care...I'm not knocking him for it...get it how you live....I don't knock a guy like Flo-Rida for catering to the top 40 dance club music crowd (when otherwise he'd be sitting in the bushes with dudes like Brisco) either...my only thing was let's be reality and not pretend like Tech has anything approaching a normal rapper's...mainstream, underground, or whatever else...fanbase

Tech n9ne makes a lot more money than most rappers. He also has more control and a longer career.

There is no reason everyone shouldn't applaud the man for his independent hustle. Don't have to like his music but to discredit him because white kids cop his shyt in the mid west is corny (don't even ask me how)
