Tech N9ne has no substance?

[dR3]

Okay, I've been silent for far too long while reading comments that N9na has no substance in his songs. Time for all you motherfuckers who say that to sit down and listen.

Myth busted.

[Elision]

don't even waste your time man, ignorance is bliss

[TheGentlePlayer]

So he has substance in his songs? Cool.

[Eedee]

I like Tech, I got nothing against the dude, but can someone explain to me these lines?

From This Ring:

Got me a top notch straight hot fox
We sought rocks and the ewok slot was caught
Got dropped two playing hopscotch on the block
Ought not twat plot yo' for hops knot I brought dots

He has substance, but he also babbles a bit, doesn't he? I'm not trying to hate, btw. I'm just saying from the other perspective, he does have "non-substance", I suppose you could use that term.

[Crazee]

I love Tech, but after he dropped Everready I felt his albums were basically 50% sex songs for awhile. I liked some of them, but it got monotonous to me. His last couple records have been better in that area, though.

I also don't care for his labelmates, except for Kalliko. So, I get tired of the guest appearances.

[Eedee]

SWA, I know that, but the one I posted was from a "substance" song. It's supposed to be a deep song.

[Kill You]

Aftermathers been hacking accounts and shit.

After the ridiculous and unnecessary argument about Tech from before I promised myself I wouldn't argue about this shit ever again so I gotta be out on this. But I see the complaint.

No worries. And I'm not against Tech, I like the guy. I'm just saying, I can see the argument both ways.

[classthe_king]

Just because a song is about "something" doesn't mean that it has substance. As Eedee showed, even his "emotional" songs are full of meaningless lines. A dead prez quote that perfectly sums it up, "Just because the chef makes something edible doesn't mean that it tastes good."

[Eedee]

Tech's skill is ill.

You still really feelin' that?

[Accor]

define skill tho

rapping fast and rhyming incoherently was impressive when i was like 14 lol

>>>>> rapping fast to distract from shit lyrics

How did I know this negative nelly would bust his inglorious nut here.
Or something to that effect.

[Mr Change]

Lol...negative Nancy*. Was about Amadeo.

Ah that's it! Classic stuff man xD

[dead prez]

I hope I didn't help perpetuate any Tech N9ne negativity, loll. I got no problem with the dude and think he has a gift for rhythm and is a phonetically pleasing rapper, his style of rapping does nothing for me though. I can appreciate it on a technical level akin to technical heavy metal guitarists and how in tune they are with their craft, but yhea. I can even like listening to rappers on a pure sonic trip and just listen to them rhyming, Elzhi and Copywrite in a sense provide that for me. But like Class said just because there's a topic to a song doesn't mean the artist goes really in depth or touches it like he should, lots of (hate to be that guy) but say Slaughterhouse songs have a "concept" but don't really stick to that theme or concept like they should and aren't as bound by the subject matter. It's like comparing an intricately crafted concept album i.e. GKMC, A prince among Thieves to something with a concept but a lot looser Masta Ace's Disposable Arts/ A long hot summer, Deltron 3030, etc.
