Funny you say this... I was going to start a thread about this but I guess I'll use this one. I really think that Tech DOES give a fuck about "blowing up". His past releases have been "commercial" by indie standards. KOD seems like an album that he made where he was finally like "Fuck makin' that bullshit... I have a certain fanbase and I'm not gonna try that mainstream party music anymore". The album sounds like he got back to the Anghellic type shit when he was just making personal music and fuck what radio station wants to play it.
Dude wants as many people to hear it as possible, but I think dude really just wants people to appreciate it for the content again.. not like.. "Oh this beat is hot in the club" type shit. Strange has a dedicated fanbase and a lot like Psychopathic they know if they release something, with little to no promo, they're gonna sell a straight 30-40,000 records.
It sounds to me, like they finally embraced that shit and they're just making whatever the fuck they want now.. and that applies for most of Strange.
This sounds like fanboy shit.
I also believe this is a masterpeice of his because he spent his own time on it, not indie labels trying to get their attention, Tech is his own boss and thats what i'd like to accomplish also being a boss of my own.. Cause who really likes people houndin you to get work done. Not me.
Psychopathic fans will alone cover the 40,000 copies.
If tech quits, im sure there will be a lot of people out there,
That will just sit and think... If he can't make it how the fuck do I got a chance?
In life not just being a rapper for a living...
I would be crushed to hear tech quitting acutally.
The dude is supernatural.
