Tech N9ne ft Kendrick, Mayday & Kendall - Fragile

[Elision]

here's both verses (as well as I could hear them, anyway). feel free to edit

tech:

some of the people opponents and givin the pity and never do get it i want you to c'mon and gobble a jimmy and -- die
nina be givin the remedy and -- why
critics are really the enemy and -- i
can't stand the way they slam today's gifted
effin incredible
get fanned away with grands to pay this jam will lay script it
deaf and impeccable
write a rhyme and i put everything in a flow
i'm the n9ne imma look very mean when a foe's
cryin but (?) never been at a show
by The Times it'll be better leavin in the store
cause they wrote nothin but lies
quote stuck in my eyes - ameture writer dissin
he's a beginner and hopes for your demise
folks imma despise never do try to listen
it's real, i'm mad
clueless when you scribble on your pad
how you gonna criticize with a chisel on your nads sizzlin your ass
you don't really get why i'm so pissed, understand this (understand this)
i'm an artist and i'm sensitive about my shit yes i'm (fragile)

kendrick:

tell me that i'm famous, tell me that my name is big as venus, jupiter and then uranus
tell me that you're anus that you hear it in it
i can smell the articles and know you're heinous
tell me that you love me, always thinkin of me, unconditional i'm hopin i'm you're favorite
grab a fishing pole and throw me with a shark
that's the feelin i get when you're concentratin on this pen, on this pad
tell me you're willin to diss on my craft
tell me the feelin of pickin apart this track - stop
puttin my heart and my soul in these lines
tellin me plan and i go all the time
lookin to bury a deep hole for my drop
this is more than you and this is more than you and your entire (?) slander and abuse
and what i call the realest, comin from a student, told myself to use a poem as a uzi
empty magazine i seen the magazine you see my trigger finger then i started shootin
that was nicotine i'm 'bout to smoke em all, the journalist involved - he shoulda known my music

It's worth noting that this is what Tech's verse is about: http://www.ballerstatus.com/2009/04/10/ ... cusations/

Kendrick took this tbh...

I disagree man, that flow tech managed to pull off mid-verse (when the acoustic kicks in) was the pinnacle of the song for me.

All I hear from Tech is the same verse on every track. Kendrick tried something new here and did really well. Probably as good or better than Tech, using Tech's signature style.

I don't understand how every Tech verse sounds the same to you. He makes it a point to always use original flows. What more do you want?

And Kendrick used a style all his own here, not one of Tech's.

[SliK]

Lol you don't think Kendrick's flow was inspired by Tech's style? His sporadic bursts of double timec Content sacrificed for sound, etc?

Meh whatever. Yes tech's flows are unique but they're not unique for him.

I really don't think it was man. Maybe I just haven't heard enough Kendrick but the double time shit seemed appropriate for the beat.

And what do you mean they're not unique for him? His current flows are a product of him having done all other flows he could think of already. That's why it all sounds Tech-like, because he's the only one venturing that deep for them. I imagine we'll be hearing versions of his current and future flows once today's technical MC's have written the sheer amount of verses that tech has. Dude's discography is over 1000 songs as of last Ocotober

And grats on 3000 posts

True. You could say they're something else.

Man this song is great. Probably my fav from the album so far

[Shady-Yo]

Holy shit! TECH-9 killed this shit! Kendrick was pretty nice too.

All I hear from Tech is the same verse on every track. Kendrick tried something new here and did really well. Probably as good or better than Tech, using Tech's signature style.

He sounds so different and mature on this song.

[Rattle1]

Yeah, Tech had a great verse.

But Kendrick absolutely murdered this one.

This.
Kendrick had the best verse imo but Tech wasn't too far behind

Lol fuck off.

"Chisel in my nads sizzling my ass" or whatever is some Tech level garbage.

[Elision]

^ The fuck is with your tech hate?

Kendrick's verse is solid but he brought better (and more) flows, and much more fluid rhymes. Tech's was objectively better.

[SliK]

Thiss whole thread is full of people saying Kendrick murked this and you're trying to claim Tech is "objectively" better?

You prefer Tech's flow and delivery, I prefer Kendrick's. There is no objectivity in art.

Also, work on your use of pronouns.

This forum is crawling with Kendrick fans bro. There's like 4 tech fans here. In fact there's a lot of people here who actually hate tech.

Anyway, a verse is composed of a subject, flow, rhymes and delivery. I don't think it's unfair to dissect and objectively compare, bar for bar, which artist does better on any given track. And while Kendrick brought harder delivery, Tech brought harder flow and rhyme. I think the reason you guys are feeling Kendrick so much on this is because he's talking to you, the fan. Whereas Tech is talking about a New York Times reporter.

Tech's flow was faster, not better. Kendrick had more diverse and unpredictable flows and he toyed with the beat way more than tech n9ne.

What the fuck? Are you deaf? The only fast part of tech's verse was the opening bar. And Tech used 5 different flows
