Tech is one of the greatest to do it... ever! Not only is he lyrical and has a top notch delivery (that should be in plural, "deliveries") but he's one of the few rappers that's actually a good songwriter

and if that's not enough, like he says on this track, his stage show is miles ahead of most

Song: Blown Away

[Intro]
I know y'all don't see me on TV
Or hear me on the radio
But you industry brats
Better check Billboard and Pollstar
Before y'all get to cryin
About who get seniority at these shows
Especially when compared to me
Y'all aint **** on stage

[Hook]
I hit the stage
Grab the mic and blow 'em all away (I blow 'em all away)
(Superstars), But they know I blow 'em all away, Hey

[Verse 1]
The gig is over, The gig is over (Bitty bye-bye)
The gig is over, The gig is over (When A play)
The kid is older and gettin colder (Many fly by)
But his will hold ya, So listen closer to (A-A)-R-O-N
They dissin and twistin my name
Because Aaron is scarin these glitz spittin pricks in the game
Hit with this gift, Everybody get a whiff of this script and it's pain
Gotta talk about the people with a attitude
Hiss me and slipped in my lane
I've been wreckin crowds for a long second now
Got 'em guessin how Tech is blessed
And yes, The best in-town rep
On the real, I keep it trill
And when I spit, I aint spillin about my million
It's the feelin that you get with this underground headliner
Mainstream ignored a bro
And they be petty, So jealousy is sure to show
But they rich and got more to blow
And everything's affordable
But they gotta go before me
Because their stage show is horrible

[Hook]
I hit the stage
Grab the mic and blow 'em all away (I blow 'em all away)
(Superstars), But they know I blow 'em all away, Hey
They may be platinum
But they know I blow 'em all away (I blow 'em all away)
(Superstars), But they know I blow 'em all away, Hey

Why you do me like that girl?
You know I love your mama

[Verse 2]
I just wanted to have a bite with her... or somethin
Didn't go get up on that show to fight with her... or nothin
It was Keyshia Cole, Eric Benét, Gorilla Zoe, Tech Nina and T.I.
But Keyshia was actin Bia-Bia
Why she actin like a (what?), like a (what?)
She aint know I grab the mic and light it (up), light it (up)
She say, "She don't know me"
But I'm the number one Independent in the country
Man, She the only one actin funky
And the people at the Summer Jam, They want me
She say, "She aint goin on before somebody that's local"
And she went postal and loco
Sayin, "Her not closin, Is a no-go"
Down talked me real low though
About how she got more doe and just did a TV promo
No show better than the Mo. bro with the S & M logo
Damn baby, Much success is sittin in your favor
Slam the Nina Tech before considerin the data
Fans waited, So we went, So she'd get it for later
But Frankie said, "Excuse my daughter, She's a bit of a hater"
Dwamn!

[Hook]
I hit the stage
Grab the mic and blow 'em all away (I blow 'em all away)
(Superstars), But they know I blow 'em all away, Hey
They may be platinum
But they know I blow 'em all away (I blow 'em all away)
(Superstars), But they know I blow 'em all away, Hey

[Verse 3]
Aye, Aye, Check it
I understand seniority
But in this case, On this show, I'm a top priority
In Lawrence, Your minority and I'm the majoriry
Check it, I was young and broke
But I'd fetch it, If it was freshest
Shovel snow for the Eric B. and Rakim record
Promoters called us and said,
"We got this show and want you to close us"
Ghostface and Brother Ali, Rakim with a band, It's so tough
We couldn't wait to see Rakim rock
But he never ever showed up
He swole up cause he didn't wanna go up before us
Man, What's wrong with these people?
Think the world gotta kiss their asses
500 capacity but you wanna get 200 passes
Thought it was about gouda
40 Water told me,
"Nina, Get ya cabbage, Stay savage and ravage the average"
Y'all better hope radio and video
Keep me from slithering... into they circle
I'll change it, That's why they shivering
Rakim the God? He just miss the king's delivering
Cause they know they'll fall
And I'll blow them all to smithereens

[Hook]
I hit the stage
Grab the mic and blow 'em all away (I blow 'em all away)
(Superstars), But they know I blow 'em all away, Hey
They may be platinum
But they know I blow 'em all away (I blow 'em all away)
(Superstars), But they know I blow 'em all away, Hey

[Outro]
Real, Real spill, Yeah
Baby girl,
I know I aint the only one that know you could be bitchy
You know what I'm sizzlin?
Ol' boy,
I know I aint the only one that know you could be bitchy
Do your research before you down somebody else

Get off your high horse
Keyshia Cole, Get off your high horse
Rakim, Get off your high horse
Industry, Get off your high horse
Yeah​

Why am I just now hearing this dude's music??! I've known about him for a long ass time just never checked his ish....but the past month and a half I've been hearing stuff from his camp(Krizz Kaliko) these dudes are creative as hell and have great beats....I'm a new fan.
 
I posted this a while back to see what people would say lol.
Tech N9ne is a ****in beast and he's iller than your fav mainstream rapper.
 
Tech got it twisted if he thinks he deserves to go on after Rakim, lol.

Kinda backwards dissed himself about being big headed with that one.

That's like asking Prince to go on before The Dream...

but that line right there tells u y he expected to go first.

Lawrence is a college town about an hour from Kansas City. I got fam in KC (that's how i first discovered Tech) and over there, he is a pop star. people don't understand, in the 8 Mile era, Tech N9ne was just as popular as Em was in KC. He is a king, and when u enter another mans house, i don't care who u r, u shouldn't expect to sit at the head of the table.

You should expect to be treated with the respect you deserve if you fought all of the naysayers that said Hip Hop was a fad and perservered so that a man from KC could even eat off of the game you helped keep alive and bring in fans for him to have.

It's on some respect your Elders ish... or something. Like if you're in a union... you have seniority and all of that ish that comes into play.

I guess Rakim, Ice Cube and Scarface should open for Soulja Boy... right?

That's why Hip Hop is the way it is, lol.

Ask Stevie Wonder to open for John Legend...

Tech definitely deserves his shine, but dude is too weird to ever blow up outside of wherever he is from (Kansas?).


He's a dedicated motherfcker though...
 
Tech is one of the realest dudes. He's killing old AND new school. I'm glad I've seen him perform live, **** is hard to see your favorite artist when you live in Holland...
 
I think Rakim should of been man enough to call Tech 9 and tell him that he didn't want to go on first.
 
Tech came out in 1997... this came out in 97... Ra was 11 years in... listen to the rhyme scheme... insert TechN9ne's voice... tell me who should go after who... who influenced who ?




FOR Real...
