Strange Music Best Album This Year So far

Don't say shit to me for saying that The Gates Mixed Plate is the best album of the year for Strange music, because the reality is it still made the biggest impact on the label. We debated it more than any other album, and the truth is, if you arent ready to be depressed as shit by the time you listen all the way through K.O.D (which I loved and think it deserves an honorable mention) or wanting to listen to an audio horror movie in DAAM, (which was also a very good album by a legend) The Gates Mixed Plate, Raw and Unkutt, and Genius are by far the 3 albums that if you were riding with some friends or some chicks that you could put in and let the whole album play and have everyone nodding their head and digging the songs. I am sorry but there are songs I like to listen to for the creativity and the thought process behind it, and then there are albums that are intended to do something like push you into the limelight you deserve, and whether any of you like it, it was the Mixed Plate that is gonna do it. I interviewed a friend in the industry who is pretty well known cat and he said Tech is gonna be the "Go to" M.C. this year for any mainstream cat that wants a dope verse. He also said that artists were always wanting to wait till they had a weird or dark beat to put Tech on which would probably not be a track the label would allow to make a project anyway. He said its time to kill em on their own beats, and first he had to make an album with comparable beats to the industry instead of some of the beats like "it was an accident" and "shadows on the road". Then he made a statement that made alot of sense. He said "Tech has been dope for years, but he has only been making REAL money for about the last 5 or 6. He has an almost 20 year career so he needs to go back to get the dough he has deserved all of his career. He needs to take the money the industry owes him, do these songs with these cats and stash enough dough to retire when he decides to." Then he will get the chance to really get his story to the world when he gets to tell the shit to Sway on MTV, on how he forced his way into an industry that has never given him the respect he deserves."
The Gates Mixed Plate grows a fanbase and doesn't just cater the one he has, for what it is designed to do and sound like, its the winner to me.

A FUCKIN MEN
In this titangraph we have some of the realest perspective on this whole shit....check the bold part.
@ Poeticcc I see a lot of I statements in your post.
Thats exactly the problem....his FANS dont like it cuz this isnt Tech N9ne music....i know this cuz if this was Tech N9ne music i wouldnt have all of Tech N9nes CD's....If Gates was the first Tech album I had ever heard I wouldnt even have given him a second look
You are not the only person that has ever listened to Techn9ne. Personaly If the Gates Mixed Plate was the 1st Tech album I ever heard I would have been blown away...Why? Because I love KC MO...I would have been like this dude is repping the town and this fool is clean as fuck. His mic pressence is crazy, his flows are crazy...WHO is this muthafucka and who has he done music with.
My point is that it all depends on individual taste. What I see Tech doing is basicly putting together a Buffet of songs. If you dont like the "chicken" then get some "pizza",.....Oh you dont eat meat? Try hit the "salad bar" lol...ya dig.
I think that GMP will help push Tech into the limelight more and will help other artists want to reach out to him for collabs and projects becasue they and there labels will recogize his TRUE versatility on a track.
The mainstream sees him as a one trick pony....Hes trying to prove hes a jack of all trades.
