you dont know of what you speak...

without mixtapes... there would be no 50 Cent... ect.

its a marketing tool to get your name out there...

you say if they wont buy his album i doubt they would buy his mixtape...thats why he jumps on a mixtape with eminem or chamillionaire or someone big for a track or two, then when people buy it they get EXPOSURE to his tracks as well which could spark interest
Thank you sir for setting him straight...

and your right midwest, you dont live out here, so you dont know.. BELIEVE me...mixtapes are the answer to getting your name blown up out here.

I dont think anyone here is suggesting tech quit touring and just do mixtapes

I think what is being suggested is that Tech do a mixtape here and there to get exposure....which could help in a big way. Getting a song on a new york mixtape could increase tech's fanbase tenfold....a song here and there would be great

in summary tech doing a few mixtape songs=great idea

tech doing songs with FPC and others of that nature=waste

I think we are all pretty much ready for everready to drop, and I think we can all say that it is way past due. With essentially no new material in 4 years we are starting to get pissed, and nobody from strange has given any official word on what the hold up is, whether its just recording My World or if its legal issues with MSC....we are being left completely in the dark

I dont live in tech's touring area, I live in Louisville and the best I can hope for is for tech to do a show in St Louis or Cincy, or else I have to drive 5 and a half hours to cleveland for a show. We need something from somebody, whether its Kutts mixtape or Skatt and Snugs new cd with a tech feature...we need something because a lot of peeps can't make it to shows

New material increases your fanbase so I would think the wise business decision would have been to release everready awhile ago to increase fanbase, increase crowd size thus increasing venue size and increasing overall profit

sorry for the rant, but i dont see why we have had virtually no news on the status of the album since new years

thanks for sharing..

I think sometimes No One understands the importance of this tool..
It can do miracles for your career..

Look at my dude Chamillionaire..
now that the East Coast has finally caught onto to him...he is selling over 25K weekly..

I would put everything I own on Tech NOT doing a mixtape.

It won't happen. I would be verrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrry shocked if he started recording, let alone put out a mixtape.

So all this "he should" "he needs to" "why doesn't he" can just cease.

IT WILL NOT HAPPEN

As far as the East coast, they really aint feeling Tech like that... They love stupid ass Cam'ron and retarded ass artists. Everybody from the East coast only tours on the East Coast, like Beanie Seagal, Jadakiss, Cassidy... etc. They are all coastal rappers and they aint coming to Kansas City or even leaving the Atlantic side to perform elsewhere. How many rappers yall see from the East Coast that comes to Kansas City on a tour. KANSAS CITY DOESNT EXIST!!! This is a small ass town, nobody cares about it and we have nothing to call our own or anyone else to grasp on. So why the hell would Tech tour on the East Coast. His three fans from the East Coast would be the only attendance he has.

Tech is too advanced for the East Coast! Plain and Simple... Everone I know from the East still on that "Tech be rapping about the devil and shit" mess cause they think they sooo fuckin' knowledgable that if he aint talking about no scientific mess then he aint raw! The East Coast are some of the most stubborn people when it comes to music and the biz... You cant tell them shit. Listen to anyone from the East and talk about Tech and see what they say! So yeah I wouldnt tour over there either I.M.O.

Your right, and your wrong...Tech has a decent following over here now...Ive gotten everyone I know to LOVE Tech..and theyve gotten countless amounts of other people to love him also...

But youre right...in a way...mostly the small minded people are all people out of New York, who cant see past their own local rappers...But thats not really their fault..the music has just been force fed to them for years...



And to TechN9neHQ:

How bout you hop off your powertrip on this message board and get serious...

Ok fine..maybe Tech doin a mixtape is far-fetched...but so the fuck what..thats what a message board is for...discussing ideas...that among other things.

You cant deny that a Tech mixtape isnt a bad idea...so there is no reason for your post.

not about him doing a mixtape at the same time... just at somepoint in his career...
So we should talk about a mixtape at a later point in his career. Not now. Personally I don't give a fuck about a mixtape since I'm waitin for Everready to be released. Besides I'm not mad about mixtapes, generally.

Chamillionaire dropped (with PaulWall) Get Your Mind Correct in 2001
he dropped several mixtapes before his Major Label Release - Sound Of Revenge......Mixtape Messiah was one of those...it sold over 100,000 copies..
all his mixtapes im sure sold over 30-40K...

Chamillionaire done dropped his Major label debut...on his way to PLatinum status..
-------------------------------------------------------------------

Tech N9ne
dropped Anghellic in 2000
Absolute Power in 2002
nothing ever since (unless you are including Vintage or whatever)

see what im getting at here??

Chamillionaire kept his name out there...and got himself signed..a PHAT contract..(he Executive Produced his album)...
Tech ...should have been droppin mixtapes or something..
to keep his buzz rollin..

What are yall talkin about mix tapes for, Techs about to blow. his new albumes about to come out. his music is gonna be in a major motion picher. chamilionair, young jeezy, paul wall and mike jones never did that before they blew up. Tech is about to be on another level then when they were putin out mix tapes for exposer, cant you see patience its almost hear soo fuck a mix tape. why the east coast mothafuckas got to run shit all the time, they dont care about talent they just care about money and people actualy listin to those no talented mothafuckas, like Jadakissis song why because its whats on tv soo they think its good, those kinds of mothafuckas dont know what real talent is. i think alot of these cats on tv sold there soul just to get fame that makes them look just as bad as there wack music, but Tech is gonna break into the east after this album blows no doubt. new york is supose to be liberty and justice for all, they havent given alot of talented mothafuckas oportunitys to be free, they may have worked with some talented mothafuckas but the tyte artist quite because they wanted him to be wack, changin up styles and shit. look at puffy he runs out a lot of talented mothafuckas too. some of yall seen makin the band 2 i would like to buy a mysterious cd and a fred cd they all talented mothafuckas. i hope they doin they shit on the indipendent tip any body know? anyway Tech is gonna blow!! no doubt hes already big to me but it will be nice to see him on tv and in movies soo get ready for eveready!!
