btw if you have a live band obviously ur not going to have your song playing in the background that would sound like total shit and fuck the performance up

Murs confirmed that Tech WASN'T lipping it on Twitter. lol
fuck that stupid writer. I was 15 people back and tech was defnately not lippin that shit, just spittin like he normally does. Every show ive been to from small venues to large, has been the exact same. He hasnt changed at all performing wise, people just arent used to someone who can rap that fast and has that actually has choreography. they cant mentally process that. tech is just sick period people arent prepared
And for the people that were saying fuck tech n9ne.. fuck all of them, they're nothing but a bunch of back pack wearin, tatoo sleaved, steriod using, energy drinking, lifted truck driving faggots. that right there describes all of atmospheres fans in attendance (80%)

Shout out to jeff weiss of the la times for writing one of the most misinformed and unsubstantiated reviews ever. boys and girls who cared and commented. it was not a slight to jeff weiss. he just" mis-stated" 2 huge facts.
1. tech n9ne was not lip synching i know cuz i stood onstage in awe of his breath control. thats a harsh thing to falsely accuse an mc of.
2 Paid Dues. thank God was not addversely effected by the economy. attendance actually grew by almost 40%. we were forced to go outside:)
other than that im fine with him expressing his opinions. as im sure the other artists are. harsh criticisms come with the job.
:knockout:

i remember watching an interview or something and someone asked them if they were doing anything different with the "Paint your town gold" tour and they said they were going to have a live band. i didnt get a chance to go to the MN stop when they were here. did get to see them on leno or conan or something with the live band performing "You" though. That video has a pretty interesting concept also. when it comes to low budget video's, atmosphere has tech covered.

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.....
Honestly, most rappers I've seen haven't done it that way. Or if they did the track vocals were so low that I couldn't tell.

Edit: Not that I really have a problem with the ones that did.

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.
And if a rapper high on crack can pull it off, why can't Tech?? Moreso... why shouldn't he in the first place?

when your homies are rapping or i mean freestyling as fast as tech n9ne, then get back at me with that comment!
Tech N9ne doesn't freestyle, and if he did I doubt he would be doing it as fast as when he's in the studio for 23 hours a day fucking with pro-tools. Anyhow, what you're suggesting is that when we all buy tickets to a Tech show we do it so that we can watch three guys do a synchronized dance routine to cd's we already have???

are you trying to say the tech shows aren't fun???

or have you just not been to one since you are east coast??

they are worth the 40 dollars..

40 dollars is not that much money.

you get to go have a good time, and the energy is crazy..

Well, it matters. I can do a million other things with 40 bucks that are fun... If you went to a rock concert and they were playing thier instruments over their cd's you wouldn't think anything of it?

Guitarists and drummers need to breathe too... But they play their instruments for three hours straight.

I'm just not seeing why it's ok for one musical artist to cheat by using his own cd as a backing track because he's a rapper, when essentially rappers have one quarter of the work to do, and if you went to a rock show and people were playing air guitar to a cd you'd walk out.

Air guitar takes a lot out of you if you do it for three hours, so it's ok to just pretend that you're playing it.
