Tech N9ne - All 6s & 7s Discussion Thread

[slimsoxshady]

better than Anghellic...not as good as Everready imo

sound quality is ass though, and i usually don't care as long as it's decent...the vocals are so muffed though it's hard not to notice

hopefully a decent grouprip leaks today or tomorrow

[slimsoxshady]

I have a 320kbps version, why are you guys listenin to 182kbps for
It's 190mb and i downloaded it off a torrent.

it's all from the same source now though, i checked around...the 320 you have is transcoded from the original 128...unless you wanna give me a link to test

[EyeQ200]

[b]Technician: 9/10 (Amazing Track, Techniciaaaaaaaaaaaaaaan!!!,great beat, awesome lyrics, awesome delivery)

Agreed, the production is great and his delivery is right on, i'd give it a 9

Am I Psycho: 10/10 (B.o.B's hook >>>*, Tech's verse was aight nothin great, HOPSIN FUCKIN KILLED IT!! I know he had it in him!!! , B.o.B was amazing too though Hopsin outshined him)

How can you give a track 10/10 when you say Tech's verse was "aight nothing great"? His verse was above average but i don't think it was anything amazing from Tech, Hopsin did destroy it and had the best verse defintely! B.O.B also brought some of that 'Things Get Worse' side out of himself and had a great verse that fitted nicely (despite people doubting it before the song came out), also really destroyed the chorus . But due to Tech's verse i'd give this song 9.5

He's a Mental Giant: 8.5/10 (Know the track before the album leaked ofc, Tech went In as usual, awesome track)

I wasn't feeling this track that much, as a single with a music video, it's cool and all, the hook wasn't brilliant but does give it an eerie feeling, his verses brought it back up so i'd probably agree with you and give it an 8 or an 8.5

Worldwide Choppers: 9/10 (I gave it a 7 when it first dropped lol, but since then i've listen to it countless time and I like it more each time, they all killed it, even the danish and turkish dudes lol!)

First time i heard this it was bad quality and i would've also given it a 7, Ceza's short introduction verse (Turkish) set the track for what it was going to be, fast. Simple as that, a 'Choppers' song, and they are always great . Tech comes in a delivers a brilliant verse, you really have to read the lyrics to it to see the detail in his verse, Then the chorus comes in and suits the song brilliantly, it's slowed down and hits the spot, really enjoyed hearing it.
J.L does a small verse and really doesn't add anything to the track, then U$O from Denmark drops a verse, don't know what he says but it isn't sub-par to the track. Yelawolf then gives a great verse, same with Twista (as we expected on a fast track from them 2), Busta also gives a smooth verse at double time per usual, and the last two (D-Loc & Twisted Insane) give good verses. Overall a great song in my opinion, it rates up there with the other Choppers. I'd give it a 9.

I Love Music: 8.5/10 (Another track I know from before the album leaked, love how the skit build up to the track, and the track itself is great, feelin the beat, good concept, kendrick lamar also went in hard as fuck, and that other dude was aight too)

I didn't really like Tech's delivery on this, maybe it was a difficult beat, although i do actually like the beat. The chorus is good, i do like it, but nothing special. Kendricks verse had a better delivery and it wasn't bad in terms of lyricism, and Oobergeek was OK. For me this song was the first low point of the album from Tech, i think Kendrick sort of saved it for me, i'd give it a 7.5.

Strangeland: 10/10 (track gave me chills, awesome in every single way you look at it, from rhyming to delivery to concept)

Intro led into the song very well, his verses were so smooth with the signature (Jah) in the background, i'm really feeling this track, and have to agree with the good concept, the chorus takes the song up to another level with the mixture of Tech's sort of whisper and the girls high pitch. i'd give this a strong 9.5 definitely.

Boogieman: 9/10 (speakin about chills :S!! good chorus, great dark concept, love it)

the beat was like WOW when i first heard it from the small intro, i however don't think the chorus quite suited it, it seemed a bit of a "feel good" voice trying to give a dark hook, the Delivery for me was alright, i didn't enjoy the deep-ness that much, but can see that it was to suit the beat, for me this is an 8.

Cult Leader: 8.5/10 (not feelin the chorus but it kinda fits, like the intro a bit, love nina's lyrics though)

I liked the chorus, the intro was needed to bring into the track, i did like Tech's delivery on this, it suited the beat and the feel of the song, liked the track so i'd also give it an 8.5

Fuck Food: 8.5/10 (Tech's verse was simply great, T-Pain's parts aight, like the demon voice in the background but the autotune annoys me, Wayne....good flow, good rhyming, but the lyrics seriously?)

I absolutely hated the autotune from T-Pain, i liked the beat and the sample, Tech came in and did his thing but i would have prefered his verse without T-Pain in the background for some of it. Wasn't feeling the chorus very much, the autotune still annoying me by the time i got to Wayne's verse.. which i really didn't like, i may be biased as i don't like Lil Wayne, but the start of his verse with those punchlines were just terrible, the middle of his verse was ok with the flow, but then he let that slip towards the end. Tech then brings up from what the verse i just heard from Wayne, although there were stupid laughs of Wayne's in the background.. This is the low point of the album for me right now, if it was without T-Pain, i could have given this an 8 at a push. Without Wayne i would've given it an 8 also at a push, without both i would have given it an 8.5. But as it stands, i give this a 6.5.

Overtime: 7.5/10 (Horrible chorus tbh, nina's never average on his verses though, tech lifted the track up, my least favorite so far, that other dude on the track is a bit annoyin too)

I agree with you that the chorus isn't very good at all, and i thought Tech brought the wrong flow for this track IMO, and his lyrics aren't special at all, i'd give this a 7.

Pornographic: 7.5/10 (lol funny beat, N9ne's verse killed it , lmfao @ the chorus, E-40 was just not good not horrible, snoop sucks : )

I liked the beat, it was different. Tech's verse was good but not incredible, the chorus just went in a different direction from the beat.. E-40 was fine, didn't add anything to the track. Snoop was just, i don't even want to comment, a so-called legend gives a verse like this? "oh brother, no other, i will fuck your mother" i'm sorry but it's embarrassing for Snoop there, his freestyles from last week were better. song got worse as it went along, 7.

You Owe Like Pookie: 8/10 (all 3 did very good on this track, like this track, don't love it though)

Filler? it wasn't bad, but was simply OK, three were all basically on the same level here, chorus was also just OK, i'd give it a 6.5/7

Delusional: 8.5/10 (love this track, like Tech's calm flow on this, good chorus too)

Nice feel to the track overall, the "calm flow" complimented the beat too, soothing, and the effects/echo's were helping the song, i liked it a lot, 8.

So Lonely: 9/10 (fuck u Em, next time step yo shit up and do a verse in time... this track would've suited him perfectly, anyways, track is still amazing as fuck though with or without him, love it)

Liked the beat from the start, chorus was pretty good, not usually into choppy repetative hooks but it really suited the track, especially with Tech using that voice in the background.. Tech hit it with a brilliant verse, a stand out verse for me on the album from him. Blind Fury and Mackenzie O'Guin did the beat and song justice, good choice of people for the track IMO. i would've liked an Em verse but doesn't take anything away from the song that he's on on it, i'm sure they will come with an equal song to this when they finally do a song together (not including the anthem). i'd give this an 8.5.

If I Could: 8.5/10 (like the chorus, tech was great, pretty good track overall)

Start of the track was nice with the guitar, Tech had a slower verse here and it was easy to follow, the rhyming was good but nothing breath taking until he starts bringing the tempo up and it gets better. The chorus was great and fitted in nicely to the instrumental. 7.5

Love Me Tomorrow: 9/10 (Great concept track, delivered in a great way, say i'm a sell out cause i worked with wayne? hahaha, Big Scoob killed his verse too)

Liked the choice of instruments on the beat, the first thing i noticed. Tech's verse was great and it had a loose concept so i give it props for that. Chorus was RnB-ish, which wasn't a bad thing on this track. Liked the Wayne line, and Scoob had an equally good verse in my oppinion! 8.5

Mama Nem: 10/10 (Another track from before the album has leaked, this has been on replay, the emotion expressed is just amazing, and N9na was amazing on this track, I absolutley love it)

Sets the feeling right from the off, the feeling is definitely there, a really great song, story telling, it has the lot, delivery is right for it too, 9.

Promiseland: 7.5/10 (Not a fan of the beat, kinda boring but decent)

I don't think was the right way for the album to go out for me, i would've left it at 'Mama Nem', it's okay but isn't brilliant at all, 7. Dissappointed at the way the album ended.

F.A.N.S: 10/10 (Track of the year for me, it is for me a perfect track, god damn what a great way to say thank you to his fans!!, Forever accepting n9ne's soul!)

I don't have this song on my album, i know it's a bonus, i'll check it out some other time, sounds good, heard many good reviews for it.

Overall: I really love this album, but I can't stick by everything I said above cause this is the first listen.

Second listen for me, first time going deep into it though, i'm not sure if i'd have this.. or We Are Renegades as my favourite album of the year so far.

Too many features, wanted more Tech, but still it wasn't that big of a problem.

Yes, i thought there were too many features and i would have taken some of them out, Tech hit hard on nearly every song, i just felt it could have done without Promiseland (and ended on Mama Nem or F.A.N.S ?), sometimes his verses got a little boring, I didn't particularly like his verse on 'I Love Music', it was my least favourite Ninna verse on the album.

I think we both gave it a fair review, maybe mine was a bit more harsh as you saw it more from a fans point of view.

Overall i would've given it a 7.5 to an 8.
The high point of the album for me was Am I A Psycho, and for Tech maybe Strangeland?
The low point on the album for me was Fuck Food, and i think the low point for Tech may have been I Love Music, although maybe thats because i just didn't like his verse?

[dR3]

Shit Tech is on a whole another level of rhyming. Like, holy fuck.

[Trimss]

Shit Tech is on a whole another level of rhyming. Like, holy fuck.

This. Plus, i've been bumping Am I a Psycho for hours now and i'm like DAMN. How can a song be that awesome?

Tech killed it. Hopsin destroyed the song and when you expect Bob to make an average verse, he just comes and fucking kill it, same level as Hopsin.

Damn.

[classthe_king]

I just downloaded it, I'll give my review, as I promised Geno I would, when I'm done listening.

[dR3]

First time hearing of Blind Fury, but he did an amazing job on So Lonely.

[OMEGA]

Just gave this a listen based on hype alone. I dug it.

However, there's something that stands out like a sore thumb: the hooks. You have this mostly dark production with Tech's deep voice, but then you get these soft, R&Bish hooks that don't fit. What's up with that?

[DƎRDYPK]

I hoped T-Pain would have a verse on Fuck Food

[8milestyle]

Holy Shit. Am I A Psycho is song of the year for me. Hop and b.o.b went in. Tech's verse would be good for anyone else, average for his own standards.

HOLY SHIT HOP ACTUALLY KILLS IT. Can't stop listening to this song

[dR3]

Technicians is my new anthem, that shit is fucking orgasmic. Tech over a dub-step beat.

[christalgurl]

This is my ranking of the songs after just a couple listens:
1. He's A Mental Giant
I have loved this song from the second I heard it. The video just made it even better for me. It's so catchy. I love the feel, the beat, his flow, it's amazing. It's one of those songs that I just want to listen to again and again. Definitely number one to me on the album.

2. Technicians
This beat is . The hook is very catchy, and I like the way it feels very military like. Tech's verses are great to me, and his flow is on point with the beat, as always.

3.If I Could
This song is really personal, and I love the way it shows his feelings and his struggles with balancing relationships and his career. It sounds like more of a rock beat, and the hook even feels like a rock song. I like it a lot. I can see myself listening to this often.

4. Cult Leader
I love the way he made the intro to this song sound innocent and dark at the same time. He's saying he's not a cult leader, but the sound is evil and dark. The girl's voice is really haunting. "This fight's for love." I like the message of a positive cult.

5. Worldwide Choppers
This song is definitely lyrically focused, and everyone has amazing verses. It also shows his growth as an artist, from Midwest Choppers (more of a local artist), to Worldwide Choppers (getting bigger with his fame). Beat is amazing. Even the guys who don't speak English sound amazing, despite me having no idea what they're saying. Like how they say their location in the background.

6. So Lonely
I really wish Em would have gotten on this song. I could see him giving a great verse and his fame trapping him. It would have been right up his alley. Stan moment over. This song is so good. Tech's verses are just freaking incredible. I've never listened to Blind Fury, but he did great on this song. The hook definitely grows on me as I listen to it more.

7. Mama Nem
I love the claps in the beat on this song. I've liked this song from the beginning as well. Showing love for the people in his life that got him to this point in his life is really admirable. Great thing for him to do. I also really love his flow on this.

8. Love Me Tomorrow
Seven did a great job with all his beats on this album, this one being one of the best to me. I like how he goes at "fair weather fans" on the song. I absolutely LOVE the hook on this song. Some people on here really should listen to it. Big Scoob's feature was great to me. I really like the way his voice sounds.

9. Strangeland
Great intro on this song. I like how it's sort of him telling his story of the label. The little interlude is great too. It all flows together really well. Hook is good. Beat is pretty good; it fits the song for sure.

10. Am I A Psycho?
I love B.o.B. on the hook. Tech starts his verse with that strange voice, but I really like it. I'm not a huge horrorcore fan or anything, but this song is good. No where near my favorite though. Hopsin does an awesome job. Hope he gets the recognition he deserves from this. I like when he starts using that sing song voice. B.o.B. gets my favorite verse though.

11. Delusional
This song feels a lot like Dysfunctional to me, except Dysfunctional was better. His flow is amazing, love the hook, love the beat, love when Tech sings on it. I think this one is going to grow on me a lot the more I listen to it.

12. Boogieman
Creepy intro and creepy feel to the whole song that really fits well. Great hook on this one as well. Overall, a pretty good song on the album. I highly doubt I'll be listening to it a lot though. Just not a lot of replay value for me. I could be wrong though. I've only listened to it twice.

13. I Love Music
Not a huge fan of the beat. It just sounds weird to me at times. Tech's verses are pretty good, and the hook is good. The features are okay, but they could have been a lot better. I'm not a huge fan of this one.

14. Promiseland
This song is just a little boring to me. Beat sounds good, but I just can't really get into it that much. I do like the concept about how he's "made it" finally, reached the "promiseland". Okay song.

15. Overtime
Eh. I'm not a fan. I don't like most of Tech's sex songs for some reason. They just all end up seeming... weird to me, and I try and avoid them. Same goes for the song.

16. Fuck Food
I do really like the beat, and T-Pain honestly makes this song for me. He adds the whole catchy thing for this song. Without that, I basically like nothing. Lil Wayne's voice bothers me so bad lately for some reason. I used to could handle it, but now it's just like nails on a chalkboard for me. I can't make myself like this song.

17. Pornographic
Another sex song. I don't like this one either. Beat and Tech's flow are good, but I just don't like it. Maybe it's because I'm a girl or something. Will try and never listen to this again.

18. You Owe Like Pookie
I didn't get this song at all. Period. I felt so lost listening to this. I don't know if there's anything I like about it, other than the fact that it's Tech's song, and I like Tech.

So Lonely >>>>>>>>>>> *

[dR3]

My heart hurts when I remember that Eminem actually agreed to do So Lonely.

[EyeQ200]

My heart hurts when I remember that Eminem actually agreed to do So Lonely.

I feel for you.. I would've postponed my album
Out of a lot of the features some didn't suit my taste, although i really dislike Nicki Minaj, i would've put her over Snoop on Pornographic, she would've suited the track better than him. Too bad it didn't happen though, it was rumoured for them both to be on it though
