I remeber the M80 forum being a complete cluster lol...but I did appreciate the links and downloads. I was on techn9ehq back in the day and I loved getting all that exclusive shit and free downloads.

I will say this about TRTN forum..it does at least show the long way Tech has come over the years. Yeah the fans over there for the most part are dumb asses (I have met and talked to some of the better ones) but at least Tech has an OFFICIAL site that record labels and industry observers can watch and monitor.

Tech can say...well on my website I have XXXXX number of people that look for my shit everyday. I should be able to go to X venue and not be an opening act. Plus his album sales and radio and TV appearances = I should be 2nd up if not headlinig.

When its all said and done...at this point in Techs career he has to keep growing. He has to keep getting into different lanes and situations to stay relevant. I know touring has been his bread winner for years but one day he wont be able to tour anymore. He HAS to start focusing on his artists on his label and extending his brand or else this whole thing would have been for nothing. So I guess if he has to do a "Pledge" or whatever to make sure people get his shit in the future...then I say more power to him.

And to all the people that still holla FTI...man dont yall realize that this is what FTI is? He has done everything without a major label help and he did it all on his own terms. What more can you ask for?

Original FTI "mission statement":

[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]M.S.C. Music & Entertainment, Strange Music and Tech N9ne have decided it is time to change the music industry. The industry as we know it is close to dead. The major labels would like to blame you, the consumer, for the decline in record sales. This is a typical reaction for the major labels because they are not willing to take responsibility for putting out crap music.

[/FONT][FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]The reality is that file sharing has given you, the fan, an opportunity to sample the music before wasting your hard earned money on lousy records. The internet has given music buyers your own personal listening station at home and the major labels can no longer fool the consumer. They don't want you to sample their music because they know that if the fans realize that there are only 2 good songs on a record, you will not buy it. This is one of the reasons why the major labels are fighting the file sharing companies. We support you, as the fan, to download TECH N9NE's record, ABSOLUTE POWER because we believe in our product. We are spending the time and money to develop an artist from the ground up because, WE BELIEVE IN GOOD MUSIC![/FONT]

[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Unfortunately, the major labels have monopolized and ruined the radio and video platforms for all independent labels. We cannot get radio support which means you are not going to see our video. We refuse to operate in this system. WE HAVE HAD IT!!!!

We are starting a movement called F.T.I. (FUCK THE INDUSTRY). We want to prove to the major labels and the R.I.A.A. that they are responsible for the current climate of the music business and NOT you. We believe in giving our record away for free because if you like it, we believe that you will buy it and support the artist. In addition to the CD, there is a full length 70 minute DVD and 7 extra tracks in our ABSOLUTE POWER package that you will find at your local music retailer. It is very important to us that you realize that we respect you and your hard earned money. [/FONT]

[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]To put our money where our mouth is, we have decided to take our radio and video budget and spend it on a television campaign that will launch the F.T.I. movement. We will run our commercial on several cable stations and national networks. The commercial is TECH N9NE introducing a song entitled INDUSTRY IS PUNKS and he asks the viewer to go to his website, www.therealtechn9ne.com and download his record. TECH is wearing an F.T.I. shirt with no explanation of what F.T.I. means. When you go to download the record for free you will be introduced to the F.T.I. movement by clicking on the F.T.I. link on the site.

If what we are telling you makes sense and you are one of the many consumers downloading music, join TECH N9NE, M.S.C. and Strange in the F.T.I. movement. It's so important that you as a music buyer and you as a TECH N9NE fan spread the word that YOU HAVE HAD IT! Make it known that you demand major labels, radio stations and video outlets to respect and treat you as a legitimate music fan and allow good music and real talent to be heard and seen. We, collectively are the voice of the new industry and TECH is the spokesperson.[/FONT]

[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]The success of this movement depends on you helping us. Go to chat rooms, tell your friends, tell them to tell their friends, join the e-street team, e-mail this information to every real music fan you know. We have crazy, fun plans that we'll want you to participate in but we love feedback so talk to us and let us know what's happening in your city and what you want to do. We're down for all suggestions. Stay tuned in - when you join the TECH N9NE e-team, you're officially joining the movement and you will get updates and missions (that includes great prizes for participation) on
TECH N9NE and F.T.I. movement.[/FONT]

[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Real fans support real artists so speak up and be heard. Spread the word.

Now I'd like someone to tell me where in that long winded rant about FTI, it says anything about "mainstream going Tech", or whatever other dumb thing that I've heard Strange and others claiming... That statement is STRICTLY about file-sharing.

That "mainstream went Tech" bullshit has nothing to do with FTI.

Tech is getting away with that "I'm still FTI, yadidimean? Wayne came to me! The industry went Tech!" only because most of the fans he has now don't even know what the fuck FTI was in the first place.

If being anti-industry back then, meant giving away your albums for free, then what does tearing down siccness threads with Rapidshare links mean?

You can't be both.

I just want Tech to Rep Kansas City just 1 time in a song. No Jungle shit or crazy dark shit. Just some straight hard hitting bass and drum. Tech is the man to do it. But he has spent so much time repping himself (which I can't hate) that he don't rep the Town. That is why alot of people don't listen to Tech no more. I mean people in the Town.

I feel the original thread starter too.

I singled you out because you're the only person I see back up Casey. You're not as bad as other posters on here, and are way better than you used to be. You're not half as bad as Dustin, for example.

And at least you are making an attempt to better yourself. This guy has been here for years doing this lame shit, and he still doesn't get the point that nobody likes him. If you walked into a bar every night and everyone in that bar made fun of you or told you to leave, one would think you would stop going to that bar. Casey just doesn't get it.

I kinda feel sorry for the guy, living his life in a van by a river somewhere mad at the world because nobody likes him.
