Why is it cool to hate conscious and lyrical rappers on here?

    His sporadic flows. They are always different. I know this is more or less a far fetched claim but compared to someone like, and let's not get into a complete different discussion, but someone like Big Sean for example. I can picture his flow in my head when I think of him...Tech, despite having tons more music...I can't event attempt to do this with.

    Hasn't he been on forbes list highest paid rappers like 5 years now?

    Tech N9ne. In all of his juggalo alternative cringey glory. Think about it.

    Well he does long tours like 2-3 times a year and sells a ton of merch too. Also I really disagree if you're trying to say Tech's popularity took a hit for associating with juggalos, it's the opposite imo.

    I wasn't insinuating that. I was associating him with the negativity thrown at him by this forum and saying that he still tops forbes list.


    Just another reason to the Tech is a legend reasoning...he is the general consensus top live rap act at what, 40+? and has been considered such for a long time...

    yeah whats funny? that he doesn't have to perform with a backing track that covers 80% of his vocals while also having a hypeman to complete a lot of his lines like your precious Eminem?

    Lol you just keep on saying s--- that isn't true man. I used to be a big Tech fan and still don't mind him although I rarely listen to him anymore, but he's not the 'consensus top live rap act' lol...Maybe Tech posted some article on his facebook one time or something where someone said that, but doesn't make it true.

    At the end of the day, music is still music. It doesn't matter how meaningful the lyrics are if the song itself doesn't sound good, just like it doesn't matter how good a film's script is if the film itself is poorly made.

    what have I said that isn't true?
    He has 20 years of longevity. Has had features from all sorts of hot young artists throughout his run. He is the most successful independent act of all time. Respected throughout the industry by famous rappers and otherwise...

    Told you that I have heard he never repeats flows. Whether it's completely true or not, it's just what I've been told and it's fairly convincing and at least a worth a mention because his repertoire is great.

    If techn9ne content and presence was different, he probably would be considered good. But he's just too cringy a lot of times

    music is still music. That's true, but lyrics matter a lot as it's a lot less subjective than music is.
