Why WOULDN'T I do that? I'm judging the music and the music only.
but you can't take away the dudes entire context given that it's on a tech n9ne album. tech has been mentioning this jeff weiss incident for years, this time he just made a full verse it. and it's not like he could've done it back in 2009 because he hadn't heard fragile yet, no beat had told him to write it until this one. which is techs method, the beats tell him what to do.Snake897 wrote:Once again, given the verse ONLY and nothing else, I have no idea what the fuck he's talking about. I am given no context, nor am I given any idea of what this "remedy" is for. For all I know, Tech could secretly be a doctor, handing out medicine for free but getting slammed by people who don't understand that he's just trying to help.
"This is just the way Tech works" is not a valid excuse. So what if he's been mentioning this shit for years? What if I'm a new fan, and I'm trying to get into his music? Should I catch up on my recent Tech history first? And if the incident was back 09, even if I knew already about the incident, it wouldn't be implausible that I'd forget about it after 4 fucking years. In fact, why is TECH still so fucking pissed about it?
To fan someone away. It's a common term. It's like get out of my face.Snake897 wrote:The fuck does that mean?
I understand that much, but the "grands to pay" part just throws me off.
Okay I think it's safe to assume english isn't your first language. Which is fine. Again it's 'def' not 'deaf'. def is like dope.Snake897 wrote:You still haven't explained what the fuck he's talking about. You just repeated what I'm saying, which is that his "jam" (once again, I think he means a song, but you can never be sure with Tech) is deaf and impeccable, but what does that MEAN? It makes no sense.
No, English IS my first language, and after extensive reading into the lyrics, I can kind of make sense of it. But how the fuck am I supposed to know he means "def"? And who says "def" anyways? Why not say "definitely" like a normal person? Also, on rapgenius it says deaf, so eh.
His personal experience of being slammed by critics. How is that a change of subject?Snake897 wrote:How is he not switching topics? He was talking about how other underground artists are (in general) "slammed" by critics, then suddenly, he's talking about his personal experience.
First subject: How underground artists (not just Tech) get slammed by critics
Second subject: How Tech himself gets unfairly critiqued
You don't have to catch up on anything, tech has been talking about this incident for years. Also your quote is wrong it's "by the Times it'll be better leaving in the store". He's saying that the guy who wrote the article has no actual perspective on tech's performance and thus it's best to just ignore him.Snake897 wrote:Once again, fuck that. I want to be able to decipher the verse without having to catch up on the latest edition of "The Adventures of Tech N9ne". And even WITH that, the line STILL doesn't make any sense. In fact, that article can only be applied to the next couple of lines.
Tech's been talking about this incident for years. Well, GREAT. How would I know he has been? I listen to Tech, but I'm no avid Tech fan. Maybe at least name-dropping Jeff would've helped. And how the hell am I supposed to know he's talking about the Times?
Furthermore, wasn't the guy criticizing his performance on the stage, not his actual music? And leave WHAT in the store. Before you say anything, yes, I know he's talking about his music, but Tech doesn't fucking tell us.
Because assuming you're buying an album this deep into his career, you're probably familiar with some of his older stuff. Wouldn't it be worse if he spent half of every album getting everybody up to date? That'd be ridiculous dude come on.Snake897 wrote:No, they don't. More evidence comes from the fact that the words "Jeff" and "Weiss" don't appear ANYWHERE on this track. How am I supposed to know that he's talking about this ONE LINE that ONE CRITIC said about him in ONE ARTICLE?
If, for example, I suddenly bought Recovery (which I'd say is "deep" into Em's career) without hearing his prior shit. I'd be able to tell that he's talking about drug addiction on Going Through Changes.
However, Tech doesn't let us know that he's talking about one issue that he had all the way back in 09. How the fuck am I supposed to know any of this, even if I DID know about this Jeff Weiss issue?
These aren't tiny issues. And the guy who criticized him did so in a hugely popular magazine that belongs to a town he lives in. It was a very big deal.Snake897 wrote:Excuse me for getting off-topic, but I'd like to elaborate on this, actually. Why does Tech insist on making entire verses, or in the case of Fortune Force Field, AN ENTIRE FUCKING SONG stretching out one tiny issue? So this ONE GUY criticized you. With one line. Get the fuck over it, Tech. Anyways, back to the song.
You're telling me that the LA Times are a hugely popular magazine in Kansas City? I don't know much about the magazine, but it appears to be from LA

How is it a big deal? The guy just mentioned once that he thought that Tech was lip-syncing. Instead of having a tantrum over it, why didn't he calmly have a discussion with the guy or even invite him to a performance to prove him wrong?
He's saying the critic is a hater who hopes for the demise of others. How are you not getting this?Snake897 wrote:"hopes for your demise"? What is Tech talking about? Is he saying that HE hopes for the critic's demise? Well, no. He wouldn't say "your" then. Maybe the critic is hoping for Tech's demise, but that wouldn't make any sense, either. One line in a single review isn't exactly "hoping for Tech's demise". And why would Tech say "your" instead of "my"?
No, I understand what he means, but I'm saying it makes no SENSE, and his phrasing is awkward and shitty. How would one line in a single review be a critic hating on Tech and hoping for his demise? Especially
Yes I'm sure. Not sure where you're getting these definitions from thoughSnake897 wrote:You sure?chizzel
A dancing banana with two heads. All chizzels are chinks, but not all chinks are chizzelschizzel
To chizzel is not just to make statue art, but also a code word for shoplifting. One who is in the store would imply that "they would chizzel that" and usually do.chizzel
chiz has a weener that looks like a snitzel,a little chiz would be a disaster. Chiz has scrot rot and gives anal to passing homosexuals.![]()
Since the word "chizzel doesn't exist in the dictionary, I checked urban dictionary, which is where I got these definitions.
