Tech N9ne Thankful For Lil Wayne Shoutout, Says Collabo Already In The Works

Earlier this month, Lil Wayne granted his first in-jail interview to Hot 97's DJ Funkmaster Flex in New York City. Wayne, who is roughly two months away from being released from Rikers Island prison spoke to the DJ live on air answering a variety of questions including what artists he would like to record with once he’s released.

To much surprise, Kansas City emcee Tech N9ne was at the top of that list alongside André 3000. Tech, who has released 10 albums and sold over a million copies independently was just as shocked as the rest of the world when he heard the news.

“I’m still surprised by what Wayne said—we’ve never meet him, so for him to acknowledge me was a shock," Tech N9ne told VIBE. "You think people of a certain stature don’t know about you. I just wonder what songs he listens to.”

Currently, N9ne is gearing up to head out on a nationwide tour with West Coast acts E-40, Jay Rock, Glasses Malone and his own Strange Music camp. However, he says that the wheels have already been put in motion to get the unlikely collaboration rolling.

“His people have been contacting us already, so I’m anxious to see what he sends me. I’m hearing his camp is all ready to send over some music,” Tech added. “And I’ll be in New York soon so hopefully I can visit him before he gets out.”

Remaining optimistic and humbled about the once in lifetime shout-out, the underground legend has high hopes for the potential outcome from working with such a high profile artist, “I just want to thank Wayne for even mentioning me. I’ve been following his career since he started. Just watching him evolve—he was always clever with the rhymes. My own quest was always to get my music out to everybody in world and working with Wayne is truly a way to get it out there.” —Mikey Fresh

The fact is, he doesn't sell tickets here.

When he was here on the Fire & Ice tour he sold a few tickets because Bill was there. When Bill got off stage, everyone left and there were like 50 people max left at the show.

LoL @ Fuck NYC.

The fuck does that even mean?

"is your real name Stan??"

You're going to have to come up with some better shit if you want to argue with me, guy.

That's true. I forgot about that one. I think I didn't get to that one because they announced it only about 2 weeks in advance.

Were there any white people there?

Stop crying like a fucking bitch. Seriously. Strange Days tour hit New York. He doesn't hit New York for every tour because of the shitty attendance. Quit crying and do something about it.

Well obviously if people came to see Bill then left for Tech, then NYC obviously has horrible taste in music.

LoL.

No... LoL again.

What would you like me to do?

Promote?

I like how you act as if me showing up to a show improves attendance so much that it would change anything. Why the fuck is attendance shitty? That's not something I should have to figure out. I'm not employed by Strange. Shit... If it weren't for me, attendance would be even worse than it is now.

But you don't really know about that shit, do you?

If it weren't for Bill, Tech wouldn't have had a show in NY in the first place. He'd have come up with a shitty excuse to cancel it like he's done in NY before, and done in other spots before. I didn't go there to see Bill or Paul Wall so it doesn't matter to me what your opinion on that is, but the fact is that the place had like 150 people there until Bill left the stage. And I'm sorry sir but Bill is a good enough act to distribute and tour with, apparently.

They put Bill on, to increase their east coast sales, and even though Bill pushed Bill numbers, Strange didn't see shit from it.

Either that or stop bitching about it. Its been discussed for years the different reasons why....And its been discussed because you've been complaining about it for years. The NY show was announced at the beginning of the tour, not a couple weeks beforehand too, so that was your fault for missing it.

Stage show is what it is... but the fact is that NY wants to see him.

Heltah.. those guys must be old by now. I bet they can't finish a verse without sitting down for a nap.

Otherwise I don't know what to tell you. I'm not trying to say Strange needs an east coast artist. I don't think it matters much unless Strange will let Tech take a back seat to someone depending on the region.

Either way if Tech's name is on the ticket in a place where people don't know who he is, or care about him, they won't buy the ticket.
