I dont think Tech even really cares about being mainstream. He has one of the biggest fan bases as a independent artist. His last album is pretty tight i dont know how anyone can dislike it. Anghellic was his best album though.

all artist want to be noticed on a mainstream level.......to say people just dont care about it is pretty dumb...90 percent of the reason there in this industry is to have nice/fancy things....

I need 2 change my name & u going around posing as LA Reid?

And if u haven't heard it u can't judge it. Period. And there's no way u can determine weather something is a classic in 2 days.

lmao at the haters saying cash money is the one that bought em thats why he sold a half a mill in one day.....


step it up....just because other dudes are doing big things doesnt mean theres a reason to hate....

thats all it is really....talk all the shit you want but dude is a multi millionaire while your making funny jokes on the internet banging out a 9-5 job living pay check to pay check....

no one thought he would do THIS good...and the haters cant really say nothing about it but "uhhhhhh....uhhhh..uhhhh....that nigga suck"

i support new music, fag



glad you are taking notes,

keep taking them

techn9ne needs to do what three 6 mafia did and start doing more radio songs,

if he ever wants to get big in the mainstream
Absolute Power is certified gold & its an Indie release. Everready sold like 25-30k the first week & it was an indie release. Tech is also co-owner of Strange music. Do u honestly think he gives a fuck about being minstream? He's living better then a lot of multi-platinum artist.

i doubt hes living better then "a lot of multi plat artist".....he may be doing his thing but the incentives (sp?) and other shit you get for selling a million records for a big record industry are good alone (cars...jewlery...paid airline tickets every time you fly....whole bunch of shit)....plus the money you make from selling each record


just because its a indie release doesnt mean your making a TON more for each record sold....money still gotta be paid to other people just like in the mainstream world

^^^^lmao.

did someone say hater? dont act like people dont buy their own cd's. nobody said thats the only reason. ive listened to lil wayne since 400 degreez track 12. but some how you got it fucked up and are responsible for about 20% of all postings related to him. you see someone speak the TRUTH (yes, labels do buy their own cd's to push numbers) and you cry hate. stop being a crybaby banner waving bitch. we get it....you're a fanboy.

keep cryin that your fav artist aint have soaring numbers....wayne doing it no matter what way you put it...

this is something that is pretty irralevent to me and its funny to see people complain that someone is doing so well....

it is hate....no matter what way you slice it......give props were props are due....

make a hundred more excuses why lil wayne sold a half a mill in one day and its still not going to void the fact he did it....

hardly a fanboy i allready let people know my critiscim of the album....id be happy for anybody to sell the way he did...dude is making strides in a sucky industry rite now...

Yes, better then a lot of multi-platinum artist. Dude is really breaded.

U act like he aint getting shit for free. He's an underground super star. They mention his album releases in the same breath as a mainstream album release. U think them full page Source ads are cheap? That shit cost hella money. I don't see Jacka, Lynch, Mess & a lot of underground niggaz with ads in the Source & these cats got solid ass fan bass.

If u aint feeling Tech that's cool. Maybe he aint ur taste but a lot of these mainstream niggaz be still living with they grandmamas & not getting paid like they claim.

Tech is doing it bigger then even my favorite underground rapper. And this is w/o empty ass hype & a bunch of mixtapes. W/o those mixtapes Weezy wouldn't be as big as he is. That aint hating. Its the truth.And his music don't come close ti fucking with Tech. Aint no mainsrteam nigga fucking with Tech.

carter 1 and 2 sold millions of records before his best mixtapes came out.....that arguement is invalid and the only reason his mixtapes were so big is because his two previous lps were so big.......wayne dont owe nothing to mixtape djs and thats real fuckin talk

and thats why techn9ne shouldnt want to go mainstream? the object is getting more money, idiot

if techn9ne wanted to go mainstream, he would have to cutt off a couple of fag fans for some new white blond ones,

cause i heard Rocker kids think juggalos are fags, so going after rocker kids wouldnt work out

technn9ne has been trying to get on mtv2,

so when he actually makes it to the mainstream

dont start crying

just got back from Best Buy....shit was straight sold the fuck out. I asked the lady in the music section about it, and she was just straight laughing, saying them shits flew off the shelves, and they were out of the 9.99 one and the deluxe one. So I was only able to scoop up Keaks new album.

Mainstream gets u more exposure but doesn't always get u more money.

I also think its funny how u call me a fag but ur supporting the music of a fag.

And Tech got fans from all walks of life. He probably has the most diverse fan base.

But fuck all of this. Back 2 topic. Congrats to Weezy.

Why do most Lil Wayne topics always turn to Lil Wayne Vs. Tech N9ne topics in here? Anyone else notice that?

Good for Wayne. Those are big numbers in a market that has been steadily going down. The album was alright IMO, I wouldn't buy it.
