Spell his name wrong again and I will rape your anus :)

Anyways, his best album is K.O.D. (imo). But, his most accessible ones are Everready and Killer. If I was you, I would also get his EP's Seepage & Lost Tapes of K.O.D. because both have some classic material.

In conclusion, I would recommend K.O.D. first simply due to the fact that I truly believe that it's one of the best album ever and HIS best. All his albums are really good though. Killer is the only one I don't LOVE because it has some fillers (due to it being a double album) but then again it has genuine Tech N9NE gems like One Good Time, Happy Ending & Hope For A Higher Power, Too Much is intense as fuck too :smoking:

He has a killer flow, great voice, crazy hooks, and good subject matter all on top of sick production.

Everready is my favorite, I was listening today. Over half of the songs could have radio hits if he was a mainstream artist. The hooks on that album are bonkers.

My other favorite is K.O.D. It's very dark, it's the realistic kind of horrorcore I like.

Tracks to check out from those albums:
Everready - No Can Do, Riot Maker, Welcome To The Midwest, The Beast, It's What You Thinking.
K.O.D. - Show Me a God, Blackened The Sun, Horns, Shadows On The Road, Strange Music Box.

Try to just listen to the albums though, they're awesome.

Not really, they're good/great but nothing spectacular. He doesn't need them. He isn't a multi rapper, and his flow isn't designed for them.

What you just said applies to 50% of Tech's music.

Sometimes he doesn't focus on multis, sometimes he does. Just listen to He's A Mental Giant to see when he does focus on multis.

But, overall I wouldn't put him in my Top 5 multi rappers anyway.

He's nowhere close to a top 5 multi rapper, that's ridiculous. I'm a big Tech fan too, but that's insane to say. Multis aren't his style, he's all about flow and delivery.

And what a stupid example, there are no crazy multis in that. Multis like "down on you niggaz/pound on you niggaz" aren't impressive. it's still a sick song but not cuz of the multis.

Im kind of excited for his new album but I NEVER listen to any of his music. Im gonna see if I like his stuff.
He's very energetic, awesome flow, great lyrical ability, interesting, usually good content, plus between him and Krizz kaliko, awesome hooks. His music is just addicting...kind of like how Em's music pre-Encore is.
My personal favorites are Anghellic, Absolute Power, & Everready. Although the Lost Scripts of KOD & Seepage are great EP's.
If you've never listened to anything of his, listen to
devil boy,seepage,come gangsta,einstein,this ring,red nose,this is me,sickology 101
in my head,my world,one good time,happy ending,low,show me a god,leave me alone. If you're not a fan after any of those, then he's not for you.
and it's N9ne

Yeah it sounds like I'll like Everready but I'll check KOD too. I really liked the couple samples I heard from his new album and I love his verse in World Wide Choppers so Im definitely gonna check N9NE out soon. (happy MC?) :shifty:

Listen to Everready first, I don't think it's possible to not like. Everyone I've showed it to does, from underground IT-type fans to casual rap listeners. It just BANGS. Be sure to have some bass going or you won't enjoy it as much, try to listen to it in your car.

That's why I said he isn't in my Top 5, FreeSpeech...

And what a stupid example, there are no crazy multis in that. Multis like "down on you *****/pound on you *****" aren't impressive. it's still a sick song but not cuz of the multis.

Nice job. You picked the only line in the song that doesn't rhyme multiple syllables.

My bad, I'm on my phone and my screen sucks. Oops.

And nothing in that song is crazy impressive, name one line that has a jawdropping multi. They're nice, that's it.

^That's how I feel Tech is with his multies. He has a lot of them usually, and they're good, but they're not jaw-dropping amazing, 10 syllable kind of multies. They're usually under 5 syllables, which is good, but not "jawdropping".

I honestly think you took my amazing too literally. I think he's a great multi rapper but definitely not mind-blowing or jawdropping like Eminem, Diabolic or Crooked I.

I do think He's A Mental Giant is a fantastic song which has a bunch of multis and I'm sure you can catch them without me pointing them out...

He's not a genius, but he is a GREAT rhymer and rapper. Has a great voice for it, great flow, usually great lyricism and content. I was listening to K.O.D. today while cutting the grass and I was awed how he's STILL dope after all these years, not many rappers can do that. That's why he's easily Top 3 for me. Listened to B. Boy and I was just like :o at Tech's verse. ALL those "b" words in that one verse is incredible and astounding, though.

Excited as HELL for All 6's & 7's, I think it will be his best album yet.

Came back to annihilate, the game's in dire straights, as I await

Now I lay me down to sleep
