Should make a name for himself before he made ANY video. You know how much those things cost?

Marketing took a hit to make that Slacker video I assure you... Why make a video for a song nobody's ever gonna hear?

Maybe Travis wanted a vacation. ::shrug::

Once again...

Travis wanted Absolute Power to still be the main focus and not put it on the back burner just to promote the Reparation. I figure that Reparation is doing pretty swell compared to any other local efforts in its first month over peoples first year of sales out of KC in my opinion.

Local people dont know how to promote shit, just make a CD, do one show, go into seclusion and think everyones gonna buy it, so I figure they are definately profiting....

I dont think it was their intent to make the billboard top 100 with a re-release just to get it back on the shelves for those people who werent able to get it before JCOR went under, plus Tech has aquired more & more fans, well I am sure they want it to...

I'd agree but my local cd stores have exactly 1 copy of Reperation each, which isn't even in a "Tech N9ne" section (which oddly, they do have)... It's always on some rack in the middle of the store where nobody would look stuffed away in a "New rap release" section...

yo i got a quick question do y'all want tech n9ne to stay underground or do you want him to blow up like pac did? i feel tech was better and realer than pac but at the same time he may not even be in it for the money which it seems so since he did give away free music and t-shirts and shit which had to have cost him quite a bit it'z possible it'z just what he loves to do or maybe he knows if he becomes commercial he's gonna see or experience more corruptness like jcor gave him and he doesn't want that there could be a few reasonz why he don't wanna become big and all....or it could be bad strategy i wouldn't know
all i know is this i'm down with tech for life
only thing i wish he would do is have a concert in new york and all i mean for real he has concerts locally and then he has them in the uk and australia but yo if he's travelling that far to do a concert, he's gotta be doin pretty damn good
peace

For real, Tech & Strange Music could sign any day they want to, it's just that at the moment, they know that when you sign a deal, you aint gonna get no skrill in the end and being independent is where the real money is all the way around. So what they are doing is stacking money to the ceiling and when the right opportunity comes along at the right time, they are already established and in the end when the Cd drops and they make their mills, Tech aint gotta wait on the second time around ot see real money. So they dont turn away any deals, they just sit them aside for the future, maybe a year or two from now, Tech will be well off and then get his shine on nationally from there... ya feel me...

Yup... Tech's making money definately, and people think that cause you dont have a video in rotation and rented jewelry and rented vehicles, then you are broke. Actually they are spending their budget on all that shit and in the end, a semi-successful album and shallow pockets. I figure that once he's under a contract with some big named label, the shows like the Blue Note, Juke Joint, and Uptown are going to be rare. But you never know.

Thanx....

I am in an area in Mid Missouri attending school where people are so brain washed and full of shit that whenever someone mentions Tech, they try to say he's broke or aint shit cause he aint got a deal, so I've explained that shit thousands of time to people to a near perfection LoL!!!! All people want to hear is Lil' Wayne and Nelly and Crunk music or some bullshit artist that say's a whole lot of nothing in their music and I cant fault them for their taste one bit, but I do tell them since they want to speak on something they know nothing about I tell them I do know that they are one tracked when it comes to music and they'd rather be sold a fuckin' dream and try to be like or follow something they can't or will never relate to in a million years. Fuck 28 inch rims and trips to the islands on Gucci covered private jets. If you wanna hear that, then you are the fool, but only to the extent when that's all you "want" to hear, and anything else such as Tech aint up to par. So since they are underdeveloped in their musical roundedness, they refuse to attempt to listen to Tech's music because they are unable to disect what simple things he's saying and try to verbally kill him and get as many people on their side to take on what he/she is saying about him so they dont feel so bad in the process. Nigga's fear what they do not understand, and what they do not understand, they try and destroy!"... That is what I relate to what I am saying to sum it all up. So in Tech's instance, you either "Like" Tech's music or you "Dont Like" Tech's music. I see people all the time that would rather it be turned off completely than hear him out versus if I through in a wack Cannibus CD (yes, I hate Cannibus) and no one would notice it being played. So therefore Hating is a unconsious act. Ha, ha... So when Tech called up to our radio station last Tuesday and said what he had to say, the same people that had negative shit to say about Tech were the same ones asking me to get them in the show... Hell nahhh...

Dude come up for air once and a while... Everyone's in everything for the money. If he wanted to start a charity he could flip some fuckin' fries and donate to the Ronald McDonald fund.

Anyone here that can back me up at "Teccanina.com" where I'm getting yelled at by some little kids? Someone over there actually called me a "N00b". WTF? "Tech and ICP didn't tour because of racist issues, you N00b."

What in gods name? And then he's... eh. fuck it.
