Tech N9ne - OG?
- Thread starter DustinBowls
- Start date
Other than it being a blatant plug of a local restaurant, there were some elements I did like.
The talkbox for one.. I'm a Roger Troutman/Zapp fan and I've always been fond on this contraption and it's signature sound.
Tech's flow.. which (even on the shittiest of tracks or guest appearances he's featured on) is undeniable.
And the fact he's working again with Icy Roc.
Now I was under the impression that Icy Roc did the beat when in the track he says Seven made it.. That shit is very stripped down for a Seven beat. Almost like a skeleton or simply a throw away track. It was odd to hear Tech rap over something that didn't sound finished, kinda hollow. And the "la la la's" in the hook seem like filler and unecessary.
All in all it's decent.. I mean could you make a HARDER song about a BBQ spot? Probably not...

It's kind of the same thing with The PASEO
Even though I don't personally know the places Tech talks about in the song, the song isn't ruined for me. It'd add more meaning to it for me personally if it was a place I grew up in, but it doesn't take anything away from how good the song is and I still like it.
I've personally never been to Ollie Gates but I think it's a decent song. Like I said before there's some g-funk vibe to it and it's like a throwback Tech track. The only reason I'd have a problem is if the album doesn't make any songs with substance. For what it is, OG is nice.

Yo... DustinBowls.
If you didn't know that the dark carnival represented purgatory as early as the riddle box, then you're an idiot. So all those people that were surprised by Shangri-La are just that. I'm not saying juggalos should be given too much credit, but come on dude.
I don't really think ICP knew what the fuck they were going to do for the 6th anyhow. They knew they had to do something big, and the biggest thing they could think of was to pull the 180. It created buzz (for a minute) and then they took all that shit back when they dropped Hells Pit.
I don't know how you can compare ICP's decade of concept albums with Tech's shit. He has "levels" or "sections", but that's kind of just a way to make a collection of songs that have little to do with each other into a "concept album".
Even KOD wasn't a concept album despite having a theme.

OOH GEEZZZ he had tons of time to pile that concockSHAWNup.
--Just to be clear, I only used examples. Nothing is the same, if it was this world would be a very dule place. If I chose to stand by fuckups because i'm a fuckup thats my deal, and my life not yours. Understanding is more then just yourself. and your opinions, others use expressions all the time, just cause i refer to other historical topics than you makes me this evil person, this "JUGGALOOOO" omg, comeon. How can you judge me, when you know letters and other peoples opinions through... letters.....
