I too like Riotmaker the way it is; S&S were a perfect blend into the song like FTI; everyone's got an opinion, as well they should, mine just happens to be that Everready is a classic. Linguistically, technically, and musically I just enjoy the artists doing their thing; if someone's got a better album, let me hear it.
When I listen to a Tech N9ne track, I find it funny that I may be listening to an intelligent, positive message that someone else hears the style of music and automatically labels it as "evil" or "ignorant" without even hearing a word. For the most part I can be a fan of the music while watching ignorant stereotypes crumble, with the exception of something already polled in another thread-that's a content matter on an individual subject, not beats or producers, or anything related to how dope the albums are.
No disrespect intended, but I almost hope nobody at Strange takes too much to heart what people say about improving the Strange style as Ang, AP and Everready are 3 great albums and I want the next Tech N9ne album to be just as good as what has been done.
