Fuck it... get with a major (that knows what they are doing) and get them to play you. Don't sell out, but do just enough to please them and get you that air time. So far, I think Tech has done a very good job of making several radio friendly beats (including the lyrics). If those albums had been done with a major, no doubt they would have gotten airplay.


Pay for play sucks, and no one should have to do that, but that's the reality of it today. You gotta spend some to get some. :confused:

First off, whoever tried to compare Brooke Hogans video to Techs is fuckin retarded. FIRST OFF, who the FUCK would of even know of Brooke Hogan if she wasnt Hulk Hogan's (who is the greatest wrestler of all time) daughter? Not a damn person, nor would Scott Storch EVER produce a song for her this early if it wasnt for Hogan callin him and makin it happen. She has HELLLLLA money to back her videos and to get people like Paul Wall n shit in her video, which Tech DOES NOT...

Secondly, YES fuckin with people like Prozack and PDM is not only gonna do nothing to help Techs career but its will bring it down. People pay attention to who you group yourself with and that group is not what is going to attract main stream I dont give a fuck what you say. Tech can have love for everyone and all that, but the fact remains if people know those are the type of people Tech fuck with, they will do nothing but keep him down. PDM WILL NEVER BE ON MTV....

And 3rdly the fact that Tum Tum is gettin all this exposure over Tech even further proves the points I just made. It doesnt matter how good your shit is or whether or not the "people" wanna hear you, it all matter on whether you have the "image" main stream people wanna hear and that you have a hook that everyone can sing with in the clubs. Go to Kube93.com and look at the playlist they have for their station, I gaurentee you can sing along with everyone of the choruses but prob couldnt recite more that 1 verse of the song. Think im bullshittin? Go check it out...

The fact will always remain as it always has, as long as Tech keeps dealing with the people he is dealing with and doesnt change the way he is, which I DO NOT want him to, but mainstream will never accept him for the way he is now bottom line... They are too scared... If they were, they would of done it already.

Wake up people. The industry has its standards of what they want their TV artists to present themselves as, and in the past 20 yrs every artist that wanted to be on TV has had to reform themselves to fit that image. You think the ENTIRE mainstream music industry is gonna change the way they want music over Tech N9ne? SERIOUSLY? He is great and all, but you will never see the headline "Tech N9ne doesnt go mainstream, mainstream goes Tech N9ne".... NEVER will fuckin see that. I love Tech and all but c'mon think realisticly. Either Tech will have to pussy out and go hip hop, or he will stay true Tech and remain underground for the rest of his days. Which isnt necessarly a bad thing. He is still makin good money. Look at Brotha Lynch, he is one of the biggest names in Rap, aint never had a vid on MTV or BEt tho...

^^^^ He aint got money like Brooke Hogans got money. Look at their fuckin house they live in dawg... Hulk Hogan is fuckin LOADED and will spend how much it takes to make his girl make it. But even more important than that is the fact that she is HULK HOGANS daughter, u know how much pull that gives you? Like I said the fact we are even comparing the two is fuckin rediculous. If she was sum solo girl out in Eugene Oregon tryin to make it on her own, you would never even know she existed, shes not even that good of a singer.

your forgetting something... remember when they had the best of show and tech stomped Amy Winehouse? Now i keep hearing that name while flipping through the channels, but I never hear tech. starting to think it has nothing to do with the public, its all the industry. the public obviously wants to hear/see tech, but the industry is blocking him and letting the people he beat through.

Tech needs a good video man.
To be honest, Bout Ta Bubble wasn't that great.
I'd be hyping up Tech to a bunch of people and point them to Bout Ta Bubble, plenty would think its cool but it doesnt compare to videos Common and other rappers who aren't mainstream trash put out.

FUCKIN SAD

heres bout ta bubble
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RCZOyj4ZLHY

and by "more street" you actually mean "more gay" right?

aaahahah
yeah, i dont get your fuckin "hip hop lingo" but how in the fuck is that "more street" than bout Ta Bubble....? fuckin 600 dollar sun glasses and VIP clubs that look hella expensive... it doesnt look very "street"

to me "street" is the fuckin thing you walk on when it's raining shitdogs and you can't afford the bus fare and you gotta walk 5 miles back home just to get on it in a few hours the next day



I mean shit
