^^^HOW IS THAT GOOD NEWS??? THE RDV'S ARE A TALENTED GROUP AND CAN MOVE ON WITHOUT TECH.....AT LEAST THATS WHAT I THINK, A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE TURNING ON TECH FOR THEIR OWN PERSONAL REASONS AND ARE CHOOSING SIDES OVER CAKE SHIT THEY DONT REALLY KNOW ABOUT, JUST HOPE NONE OF THESE PROBLEMS GET CRAZY AND I HOPE FOR THE BEST FOR THE RDV'S AND TECH. WHO KNOWS, IT MIGHT BE TRUE ABOUT TECH, WE JUST DONT WANT TO BELIEVE IT THATS WHY EVERYONE IS SO QUICK TO SAY THATS NO FOR REAL

Thats fucked up. I don't see why they hatin' on him like that. I didn't read the article myself, so I don't know what was said. What have they been doin' since Roguish Ways was released? I know they were featured on Absolute Power.

There hasn't been any word of 'em workin' on any solo projects, which is what the fans would like. If anything, I think that guest appperance woulda motivated them to start workin' on solo projects, seein' the success Tech has had. Not sayin' any one member is better than the other. They all got skills.

If anything I think Tech showed 'em love by featuring them on the album. It keeps their name out there.

Bottom line... Don't break up the group. Y'all some talented muthafuckaz, each member bringin' somethin' different to the table. It'z coo to release a solo here & there, but at least keep the group in tact.

Here's the article. (I hope the guys from techn9nehq don't mind me doing this...)

"It's Off Now" from techn9nehq.com
Incase you all havent heard or seen, Murder Dog magazine has recently published a Kansas City feature in their latest issue.

The article covers such artists as Hobotone, Court Dog, Lejo, Vell Bakardy, Don Juan, Young Kev, the 57th Street Rogue Dog Villains. As it seems just about every artist mentions Tech in their interview(s). Artists such as HoboTone Court Dog & Lejo had positive things to say about Tech N9ne, but who we would least expect to hate on Tech....hated on Tech. The 57th Street Rogue Dog Villains Big Scoob, Bakarii, and Txx Will. I will not go into detail but the RDV interview was filled with many negative comments about Tech N9ne. As much as I hate to say it and see this happen, it seems that Tech n9ne and the RDVs are no longer. Once a glimmer of hope for the underground, now friendship and a future of great underground colaborations faded. It is a very unfortunate thing that jealousy and a lack of understanding of a man's career can lead to this. Could this make the fans of Kansas City rap choose sides? I am not the one to answer that, you are.

Swick
I can't really choose sides because the only time I've been able to hear any RDV shit is on a Tech track. Haven't been able to find any of their other shit... Which makes me wonder why they'd hate on him, if there's people out there that only know of them because of Nina. :confused:

The reality is this...

The RDV's obvously are washed up in my opinion...

The have some catchy music, but for one, their tightest rapper is in prison doing life. Tech was the one that made their songs worth listening to, and without the Mitch Bade remake, (Millenium Mitch) thanks to Tech, the CD will pretty much have only two good songs, and if the had tried to do "Let's Get Fucked Up" without Tech, it would've been wack.

They had the nerves to say that they "Funded" Tech's previous shit, but we all know the real on that. And also some other garbage that was ridiculous. The little that I did get to read, and hopefully I can go out and buy a Murder Dog today to see what everyone is on (Tech wise)...

Bakarii had the nerves to say that "Tech is on the cover of a CD dressed like "THE DEVIL" and that is something that KC isn't feeling. He stated that there is two things that you do not play with and that is "Peoples children & God"... Now we all know that, if Bakarii's punk ass was smart, he'd know the real on what the cover say's about AngHellic, and that Devils dont have wings! Dickhead!!!

When I always see Bakarii, he's always saying something crooked about how Tech went Hollywood, or he's on some "Other shit"... Ha, ha... Me and him are cool between us, but he always gotta mention Tech this, Tech that, but what do they feel that they are going to accomplish by getting rid of the person that is laying the ground for them and other struggling local artists to walk on? They have to get all furious because AngHellic set them fools straight in KC last year with selling like it did, but "That isn't what KC wants to hear. RIGHT!!!!!!!!!!!

Also, something else that seems to be a problem with the RDV's is how Tech's music is "Supposedly" mostly centerd around "White Folks" and not black people, but now that I have been informed that in KC, Black people only make up 13% of the population, so a majority of his record sales are relied on by the white fans a little more, but that doesn't mean that his music has "Sold out", it's just that they love his shit and he makes "Good Music"... What do they do when they have signings and white peope show up? They better be glad that Tech has done what he has for them, because he has opened more avenues for them than they ever would have in a million years. Honestly, the thing that has turned me on to the RDV's was Tech. He's the man behind the RDV's success in my opinion. So when the majority of the populations race is buying your CD's because they are good, you can't get mad, that's what race every artist rely's on, and they obviously know good music, now if they want to go on about it as if they will survive the game by selling to all black people, then good luck.

The only reason people hate on Tech and say that he's gone "Hollywood" is because They Can't!!!!

A majority of K.C. music is bunk, it sounds the same, non innovative, blends in too much with other shit, and since they can't do what he can, They hate... If they hate him so much "QUIT USING TECH"S WORDS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I don't see what they(the RDVs) have to complain about. Aside from the guest apperance on Absolute Power, they aren't makin' any moves. Tech's doin' his thang, while they're stagnant. So what if white folks are buyin' his albums? Money is money, no matter who it comes from. He's gettin' paid makin' music & doin' shows, etc. Why hate on him for that?

Here's a crazy idea that just might work. Why don't the RDVs get back in the labb and start doin' shit. Hatin' on one of your own ain't gettin' ya nowhere. Do somethin' productive.... Drop some albums.

Roguish Ways came out in April of '02. A.P. came out in Sept. of that same year. Some of that 5 months in between coulda been spent in the studio.

I'd like to hear Tech's opinion on this whole situation.

I never felt the RDV's anyways. I cannot completely judge them since I dont know much of their music but from what I have heard I thought they were just average. Call me a hater or whatever but I basically hate the rap game anyways. As a whole, rap sucks now. If you guys cant agree with me then I DARE you to watch BET uncut and say that all of that should be on there with so many truly talented artists out there. Damn, anyways. I want to hear what tech has to say about this also. Seems like he just lost a couple of his close biys over some bullshit. Someone please scan or type up the article because we still dont know exactly what was said...

i agree with you .....but dont base your opinion off of what you see on TV.....there are plenty of cats here in KC that have talent but no money to start or anyone to take a chance for them.

Shits about to change .....dont trip!

i think there actually jealous of Kutt , Krizz and Grant
Well thank goodness we got Lejo's dumb opinion! Whew! For a second there I thought this string would be free of stupidity... God forbid.


I'm just a honkey from NY, so my opinion doesn't count twice over to the RDV, but I won't even sit through their shit to get to a tech verse... All their beats are the same and they're rapping is par.

The power of N9ne compells you!
