i heard him on the anthem back in 99 and thought he was dope. and then i kept seeing his name pop up on othe compilations and cds. so there was an absolute power ad on the back of murder dog, so i figured when it comes out i'll give it a spin. so i bought it at best buy the day it came out and was very impressed with it and been hooked ever since
Great stories guys! Here is mine...
A friend referred me so I downloaded Einstein, Real killa, and Imma Playa. Einstein is what really got me, I heard it and was intrigued, it was so different and I didn’t know if I liked it or not but I just kept listening to it. I played it for a bunch of my friends and they all liked it. So tech n9ne got integrated into my play lists and Imma Playa became a huge hype / inspirational song.
Some years later I heard Jelly sickle, just like Einstein at first I didn’t know if I liked it or not. That beat was so amazing and I really thought tech lost his mind. I started searching for all sorts of tech stuff and the more I heard the more I liked tech.
The rest is history!!!

My mate first introduced me to Tech N9ne.. I would wager to guess around 2002 or 2003, perhaps slightly earlier but this was when I got interested on who the man behind the music was.
The stand-out songs i remember to listen to back then was T9X, The Anthem, Here Comes Tecca Nina, Now It's On, Einstein and possibly Cursed, Real Killer and Strange somewhere down the line..
I didn't immediately take to the music. I remember hearing T9X, Cursed and The Anthem for the most part and I continued to listen.. it was much different to anything I had listened to and for the most part a lot darker music wise than anything else I had heard before. I grew fonder of Now it's On, Here Comes Tecca Nina, Einstein and to a slightly lesser extent Cursed earlier than the others but I then began to appreciate Tech's diverse range and started discovering myself trying to find out more information about Tech N9ne and about other albums released by him.. which escalated to finding out about all things Strange Music related.. and trying to accumulate other Tech and Strange tracks..
probably should thank him for finding my favourite rapper by far..

The professor is an English/literature major who is brilliant at using modern pop culture to basically make very hard material somewhat more understandable.
The song he touted was Slacker. I listened to it and was impressed. I started thinking I should find another track by this techn9ne. Some time later I listened to here comes tecca nina and was blown away. The rest is history.
There was an older stuffy professor who I took the class with the year before who I dropped out of the class with because the teaching style didn't mesh with my learning style; the professor who informed me about tech said he used to bump slacker in his office when that professor would be around his office; I laugh to this day about that. I should note that the professor is now the department head.

Well I first heard Tech N9ne on "The Anthem" although I only ever heard the song a couple of times so can't really say I discovered him through it or even remembered him from it when I did get into him.
Then shortly before Absolute Power came out it was getting some hype on D12world.com (where to this day he has a big fan base) for obvious reasons. I thought dude looked crazy so I wanted to check it out & downloaded "Einstein" & this mp3 of the first verse from "The Industry Is Punks" that I guess had been put out as promotion. I thought they were both amazing so I got the album when it came out.
