Best Songs 2015 #9

Hood Go Crazy - Tech N9ne



That's right KC's own Tech found the best hip hop groove of the year. I worked with a boy who works for Strange Music and Tech currently, I like a lot of what I hear about Tech. There are not a lot of rappers who can keep recording QUALITY music for as long as he has. He's easily in his 40's right? (yes 45) He's very creative and not afraid to write about tough subjects, still the only artist I know who wrote a song about abortion (Real Killer).

"His stage name originated from the TEC-9 semi-automatic handgun, a name given to him by rapper Black Walt due to his fast-rhyming Chopper style. Yates later applied a deeper meaning to the name, claiming that it stands for the complete technique of rhyme, with "tech" meaning technique and "nine" representing the number of completion"

Gotta give it up to him for brilliant marketing as well "He covers all his bases black girls, white girls, college girls everyone in the hood... maximize that base. Tech does get a lot of crossover fans, hey I'm a 56 year old white guy who's been a fan since Einstein Tech N9ne.
