I think it was summer of 2001, right before 9/11 and all that shit. I had moved with my mom's to Lee's Summit (by Lakewood...Woods Chapel Rd, that area). I met a kid down the street who listened to older, more popular Tech songs (Mitch Bade, Now It's On, PR2K, etc) and who told me that Tech's "manager" or somebody who worked with him at least lived in our neighborhood (Chapel Oaks).

So I tell him he's full of shit, only to find out that Tech came up to Chapel Oaks all the time. So when Anghellic was released (the first one, not Reparation), me and him went over to that manager dude's house (I can't even remember his name now) and lo and behold, Tech was there with all kinds of promo shit and some other people involved in the crew at that time (including this big white dude they called 747, Grant Rice, those guys). We got some signed Anghellic posters (the ones with the barcode cross and the NNUTTHOWZE numbers under it), and he did the quick verse from It's Alive: "nobody ever wanted me rappin' / but I knew within me I could make it happen..."

Was some badass shit, ever since then I've been a huge fan. So where did ya'll first hear his music?

at the time i first heard tech , i was a huge brotha lynch fan, blocc movement just came out so i bought it , and from there i heard "187 on a hook" with some unknown guy i never heard of " tech n9ne" his verse was raw on some other shit , anyways i took my ass down to once was called " the wherehouse" music store and anghellic just released so i bought it and oh my god was i in heaven , been blastin tech ever since , its beautiful. usually artists get worse as there careers progress , but i swear tech only seems to be getting better with each album

first heard tech on the gang related ost, liked questions but never bothered to look into tech after i saw his name in the booklet

then when yukmouths thugged out came out i heard him and instanty remembered questions, but again i never bothered to look into him despite outshining everyone on the lp

then several years later, 2001 to be precise, me and my boy were headed to the strip club and and he had some brotha lynch in the cd player, then he popped in anghellic and i was hooked, he burnt it for me that night, a week later i bought the cd and nearly every strange release since
