Tech N9ne

Underrated? I think because his flow is SO clean, he's overrated.
He does have a few songs with substance, but why push beyond when doing less is making you money and keeping your fan base happy?
Good as a business man; Could be a much better rapper.
BUT this is coming from someone that is not a fan of his.
I'm in no way a hater, I just believe he has much more potential.

i think location plays a big factor, ive only known one person that knew tech
everyone else, ive had to introduce and it seems like i cant make them understand it
im not hopping on nuts, but ive never seen anyone give him credit but fadingly
i think he could do better business wise, cause he tours a trillion times a year and his label never hits a release date
as far as his rapping, i respect your opinion, i just like the complexity

I appreciate people like Jorge and Yang for coming in and giving different opinions.
I completely understand the appeal of Tech N9ne. Even if I don't particularly like a certain musician, I still try to study why they were successful, take bits and pieces of what everyone did right and learn from what they did wrong. The man also wouldnt sell 500,000 copies of his last album if he was garbage.
It's not just that he has a nice flow, there's tons of Bone Thugs and Twista wannabes who can rap like that but aren't original. The fact that he is different from pretty much anyone making music today, personality and appearance wise and with some of the creative concept songs he's made, is what attracts people to his music. Like a lot of successful musicians, he found a way to let his own true personality shine through.
Ultimately I don't think he's necessarily overrated. He just hasn't lived up to potential that's obviously there. He tries too hard to be Scotty Pippen and do a little bit of everything when I'd really rather hear an album where he went all out and just did him relentlessly like Mike. I heard Sleeping Beauty when it leaked with those other Everready tracks and I thought the album would sound more like that, but it didnt even end up having that track on it, which disappointed me a lot. It seems like every one of his albums, to me, has one or two really good tracks that stick with me and that I want to go back and listen to, but the rest is ultimately forgettable. It leaves me wanting more, whereas my favorite rappers almost always end up giving me more than what I initially expected.

Tech's diversity amazes me. I think his flow is perfect because it can adapt to any type of track. There are some sounds i enjoy and would love to hear more of, but Tech doesnt seem the type to ever do things that are too alike, which I love and hate. I wish he would go back to the darker stuff, but its still in him, and leaks into the other songs too.
I don't only listen to Tech though, but he is definitely my favorite
