  • Before making a single edit, Tropedia EXPECTS our site policy and manual of style to be followed. Failure to do so may result in deletion of contributions and blocks of users who refuse to learn to do so. Our policies can be reviewed here.
  • All images MUST now have proper attribution, those who neglect to assign at least the "fair use" licensing to an image may have it deleted. All new pages should use the preloadable templates feature on the edit page to add the appropriate basic page markup. Pages that don't do this will be subject to deletion, with or without explanation.
  • All new trope pages will be made with the "Trope Workshop" found on the "Troper Tools" menu and worked on until they have at least three examples. The Trope workshop specific templates can then be removed and it will be regarded as a regular trope page after being moved to the Main namespace. THIS SHOULD BE WORKING NOW, REPORT ANY ISSUES TO Janna2000, SelfCloak or RRabbit42. DON'T MAKE PAGES MANUALLY UNLESS A TEMPLATE IS BROKEN, AND REPORT IT THAT IS THE CASE. PAGES WILL BE DELETED OTHERWISE IF THEY ARE MISSING BASIC MARKUP.

Anghellic.

Cquote1

 "Thats the Kansas City King, I love him!"

Cquote2


Face-painted rapper from Kansas City, Missouri, named because of his rapping style: not only is he one of the fastest rappers in the game, he is also one of the most skilled. It helps that he began rapping at an early age - in order to remember how to spell his real name, Aaron Dontez Yates. His rapping skills have made him one of the most successful underground hip hop artists in history, and his business skills and ability for signing talented and viable artists made the label he founded, Strange Music, a powerhouse in independent hip hop.

Much of his early worked is marked by a lenience toward the darker side of hip hop themes, which Juggalos found really appealing, and earned him some dedicated fans among this subculture. Tech N9ne is generally lauded for his insightful lyrics and skillful delivery of unique subject matter with intelligence and humor.

He really gets around collaboration-wise, having worked with musicians as diverse as Eminem, RZA, Lil Wayne, Hed PE, Insane Clown Posse, Twiztid, T-Pain, Xzibit, Pharoahe Monch, Jayo Felony, Chino XL, KRS-One, Kool G. Rap, B.o.B, E-40, Snoop Dogg, Mint Condition, Busta Rhymes, Twista, Yelawolf, Hopsin, and Deftones.

  • Anime Hair: Tech seems to enjoy pairing this with Tribal Face Paint

 for those who not knowing that Mizzou thee true,

Imma tell ya like the swedish would say it;

sug min kuk

Cquote2
    • Although his pronounciation makes it unintentional comedy to anyone who has a first laungange familiarity with Swedish.
  • Black Sheep Hit: "Bout ta' Bubble".
  • Boastful Rap: "Worldwide Choppers"
  • Darker and Edgier: K.O.D., at least compared to the two albums he released before it. The darker tone was due to his mother's illness. She got better after the album was finished, so the follow-ups were lighter.
  • Darkest Africa:

 Say my name five times

TECH, TECH, TECH, TECH N9NE

I will appear in your mirror

Thru your chest ripping out your spine

Hungry like an Ethiopian

Living off the blood in your veins

Alias Donny Kevorkian

Never were you ready for the pain

Cquote2
  • Motor Mouth: Everyone on "Worldwide Choppers".
  • Obsession Song: "Psycho Bitch" features an actual answering message from the titular stalker.
  • One-Scene Wonder: His appearance on the interlude of Lil Wayne's Tha Carter IV has been repeatedly called one of the highlights of an otherwise disappointing album.
  • Out-of-Genre Experience: Out of nowhere, "Devil Boy" briefly becomes a Thrash Metal song, then quickly jumps back to Tech's normal genre:

 Y'all act like I'm sayin'

I LOVE LUCIFER I WILL KILL ALL OF YOU

  • Sampling: Halloween theme on "Psycho Bitch"; Blazing Saddles clips on "Red Necro".
    • A rare example of a song from an anime being sampled in a Western track would be a sample from "Rain by Yoko Kanno sped up to produce "The Rain". At the very end, the clip slows down and Mai Yamane's distinctive voice can be heard.
  • Shout-Out: Tech references a lot of movies in his lyrics and he seems to have a very particular fondness of Pootie Tang.
  • What Could Have Been: K.O.D. was supposed to have Serj Tankian from System of a Down and Corey Taylor from Slipknot contributing guest vocals. Taylor nearly made it on the album, but schedule conflicts and a rush to get the album out led Tech to record the song "Killing You" without Taylor singing, although it had previously been confirmed that he would appear on the album.
  • Wolverine Publicity: Collaborates with a ton of old school and new school rap artists, either on their albums or on his own. Also works with rock bands like Deftones and Hed PE.
  • Word Salad Lyrics: Often verging on Indecipherable Lyrics.
