Backed by two dancer/hype-men, Kansas City's Tech N9ne, one of the paramount independent success stories of the last decade, put on a rambunctious set of his Bone Thugs N' Harmony meets Bay Area hyphy raps. Although the audience didn't seem to mind, it appeared that N9ne was lip-syncing, a regular occurrence in the pop world but an act of apostasy in the purist-oriented universe of indie-ground rap.

What they mean is his mic levels weren't high enough and he was rapping over his own tracks like he always does.

Dude needs to stop playing his cd's in the backround and just play the instrumentals.

Ans why is this homie grunting like a caveman on Red Nose??

this review is fucking stupid....tech lippin it highly doubtful especially when gotta be at yer best in front of your well respected peers. we see when the videos come out cuz when he does midwest choppers the first part is usually without the beat. this dude prolly just heard his songs play in the background every fucking rapper does it so it helps be a guide for them so they dont get off track.....

Is that the excuse you use to justify Britney Spears ripping off audiences as well?

Homies I know on the corner aren't freestyling over their own music to keep the beat.

I was expecting much better responses from people.

I mean seriously, how can you listen to Tech's music, then hate on it and then go back to boppin your head to some off beat ramblings of the weak performers? Headphone music live=wack(most of the time) and hiphop "purists" can be the most close-minded folks even though they bitch about how the mainstream doesn't accept their underground cuz they're too different

don't get me wrong, some backpack is dope though

Who there could be labeled as "off beat ramblings" ?

yea... alot of shit talkin IMO.... someone even had the balls to blog this on the same page (www.LATimes.com) a day before the show....

Tech N9ne (10:10-10:55 p.m.)
Although the recession has forced many of his major label peers to pawn their ice grills and return their rented cars, gruff-voiced, gangsta rapper Tech N9ne continues to thrive a decade after his debut, “The Calm Before the Storm.” Even as rap in the 2000s has been colored by dozens of one-hit wonders with ephemeral careers (Chingy, anyone?), the face paint-prone, Kansas City, Mo.-born Aaron Yates has cultivated a fiercely loyal fan base and is reported to have sold more than 1 million records -- a staggering total for an artist without print, radio or blog attention. With many of the sales racked up on his Strange Music imprint, Tech N9ne may remain a mystery to the broader public, but there’s no mistaking his hustle.

quote. totally NOT hip hop, and I could have called him being called out on it among that crowd from a mile away

yeah. it's on two of the leaks, right? (i'veo nly listend to each a time or two and suck with song names)

It sounded oka on Red Nose. I thought it fit. But if he's doing it in other songs too it could become the next "JEAH", which I think Tech does too often (and which I sometimes downright fuckign loathe *ahem*Crybaby*ahem*)

to the britney comment.....havent you seen the pepsi commercial where they have some pop star singing along and the vocals accidently turn off and you find out she sounds like shit.....thats why they lip sync, EVERY fucking rapper has the track playin at the concert not the beat the only rapper i seen with only the instrumental was DMX and he did it without a hype man.

to your second comment.... when your homies are rapping or i mean freestyling as fast as tech n9ne, then get back at me with that comment!
