To my recollection it was in an interview with tech... He actually had a good part of the interview solely for him... It happened on a couch what looked like backstage...
I think it was one of my first interviews I did with tech when I asked who he would next like to see signed to strange. The interview was from Nov. 2007.

It seems to me that Strange isnt just intrested in a "rapper" per se...there looking performers. When I listen to dudes song/ flow its ok but when I seen the video of him on stage acting hype and having the crowd going shit looks ok. Tech knows the real money for him right now is in the live shows / concerts. Its a smart move to sign cats that can get the crowd moving and have a good show/ stage presence.....I think thats going to be S M's M O for a while

man i would hate to be a fag like jay-z...it would suck to have all that money and fame....hahaha..your favorite rapper wishes he was jayz

and if ill bill is so great why didnt the cd go platinum?

why dont u just realize tech aint tryin to appeal to fags like you anymore and get the hell of this forum cuz it aint changin anytime soon.

go slit ur wrist, smoke some crack. look at dead babies and go ride mars dick since he obviously aint pissed u off like tech has
Money and fame don't mean shit to me. My favorite rappers want to be jayz? :confused: They would rip him a new asshole. KP and Shabazz The Deciple are woulds better than jayz will ever be.

As for the rest....you suck as a troll. Mars>your life

oh yeah mr.fdc....real question

humor me with who YOU think strange should sign...

should get some good laughs...

horrocore dont sell records for a reason...
Nobody. I would focus all resources on Tech, Krizz, and Kutt.

I wasn't trying to piss people off....

How the fuck is Strange gonna let Ill Bill slip away, but sign this turd?
The Ill Bill shuffle was unavoidable. As far as signing Cognito, this is a west Coast move. Dude's in Cali, more especially the Bay, which happens to have the most heavily saturated hip-hop culture in the US. He makes music that they obviously saw huge potential in, regardless of his abilities.

What we see as fans are a few hits on youtube and a former affiliation with a label that went nowhere. What they see as exec's is totally different than that.

As intelligent as you are, man, you sure put your blind rage out ahead of your higher reasoning skills a lot. I know you understand what I'm saying.

Right, right. If those three haven't even 'blown-up' yet...then what's the point of signing all these other cats? To gain a few extra fans for the artist they sign? I still know people who dig Tech....but still think Krizz, Kutt, and Tech = Tech N9ne. Does anyone...HONESTLY...outside of the internet...really think that people give all that much of a fuck about other SM artists?

Tech is Strange Music. Krizz and Kutt are on stage with him nightly...but their albums still don't get flipped.

I understand SM wants to put other artists on....but when you have enough trouble putting your...'main' acts on...then overall...the idea fails.

I have a feeling I'll never peep this dude's shit again.

Who is the top selling Strange artist other than Tech? I don't have any numbers in front of me, but I'll bet it's Prozak.

More than likely, you're right. It's partly due to the fact that his cd was solid, unlike others on the label whose cd's weren't fluid and had little congruence from track to track.

I've said this about dude myself. lol

I couldn't tell you. Prozak's got the Juggalo audience going for him..and if you peep JN...90% of those cats think TFTS was the best album of all-time...

I'm down like the ground, but I can't listen to juggalo rappers like Killa C, Dead N Dirty or the like. Prozak has been putting in work for well over a decade and has earned his spot in the underground. I don't like his music, but I respect him for doing his shit.
