do any of you think that Techs age, race, or look play a roll in his "not blowing up"?
it seems that peoples most complaint is that they do not like his style....but what do any of you feel like these play any role?

Yo... People around here don't know what Tech looks like and I still can't find any more mainstream music fans who will give his shit a second spin. I don't fuckin' get it.

31 isn't old, and if anything, Tech's image is obviously the first thing I saw. I bought AP without hearin' the shit because of his image. Then again, I'm just a white punk kid who listens to 70% rap, so it's not as if I'm the majority.

Honestly I'm glad this suBject was Brought up. I think Tech N9ne isn't Big like that Bekuz he doesn't get radio and video play. However, after hearing FTI, Devil Boy, Breathe, and the songs on the DVD it seems Tech is moving in the rigth direction. I will say I myself as along as alot of people don't really kare for some of that choir soundin shit Tech N9ne does at the end of songs & in the chourses of some songs . I really have a felin though Tech N9ne is gonna Blow on this everyday Religion alBum. But in my opinion Tech does need to rap alittle more aBout whats happenin in Kc in general and not just what's happenin in his life. Whats happenin in the hood, than of course touch up on the haters, kluB life, life at home, mayB he should speak alittle on his views of them 2 British motha fuckas, yall know. etc... etc... Basically an alBum wit an Anghellic viBe( Bekuz of how deep anghellic is), with an more up to date 2003 2004 style like those news songs I mentioned earlier and AP.

Wouldn't an Anghellic vibe be more personal? And wouldn't Tech rappin' about KC all the time (which he essentially does when he's not being personal) be... Not Tech? Wasn't the whole reason everyone liked Tech because he's real and talks what's real? Shit man, hit me up with another "This Ring" or "Yada Yada Yada" and I'll be happy.

And Tech is going in the right direction commercially, but pulling away from what he started with. I'd say he's evolving musically and lyrically, but the guys been in the game for long enough to find his niche already, which he clearly has...

it's a part of mtv's "angenda" not to play anyone who's over 25 years old unless they were stars when they were less than 25 years old. i've seen this on a documentary and i think it's fucked cus, age is the stupidest thing to base your playlist on.

Hey, it's simple. Psychopathic records puts out albums for Psychopathic fans and they just rack in the dough on each drop. The market for independent labels is actually quite large and very lucrative. In reality, you don't need MTV or radio anymore. Besides, the only people that listen to the radio or MTV are 13 year old bitches that think the singers are cute, 13 year old boys that think Linkin Park is real hardcore music, and parents listening to oldies. Radio is dead. The only time I use my radio is when I'm listening to talk radio, so essentially FM is a waste of frequencies.

Let me put it this way. There are radios out there now that go way lower than 80.0, and much much much higher than 108.0, yet for some odd reason, there aren't any stations that are willing to buy the new frequencies to put on different music. All these people are interested in is playing the same Ashanti song over and over again, which they already do. Nobody is interested in starting a new station that plays different music, because if that happened, they would lose the power to tell people what they like by playing it until people are so fuckin' stupid in the brain that they have to like it.

Besides, you can't get your shit on radio when you're an indie because all the companies that own the major record labels, are the same companies that own the radio stations. Why do you think that you can turn on a rock station and hear the same Eminem song you hear on rap stations and top 40 stations? Because the record company that's pimpin the music like a crackwhore doesn't give a fuck what it's on, so long as it's on, and it's up to them what gets played and when, and on what station.

Visit your local stations websites and see who owns the station, then figure out which labels the very same company owns. Then see if you find a correlation between the songs they play, and what artists they have money invested in... I bet you'll find that there's a direct correlation between the two.

Anyone in the music industry would back me up on this, but I've done the research myself. If you have any question refer to my very similar post titled "FTWhy the radio sucks", which I'll bump up with this post.
