Completely agree. I see everyone's point about the KMK/ICP crowd being great fans to have, and I agree, they really are. They go to shows, they buy merchandise, and they are very loyal. Nothing against them. I'm just saying, I don't understand why N9ne continues to go back to that. If he really does want to expand and bring his thoughts and music to everyone, then he needs to distance himself a bit from a fan base which more or less alienates everyone else. Casual rap fans as a whole cannot stand the Juggalo crowd, and continuing to fall back on this fan base and acts like KMK will only push Tech farther away from his stated dreams. My post was not meant to say he should ignore that crowd or that the KMK, hed pe, etc fans were not worthwhile. It's just not helping him any at this point. He is big enough now... so do something different!
I love that Tech refuses to play the mainstream game, and stays true to himself. I respect him so much for that. But if he really wants to get his music worldwide and more popular, he needs to do something a hell of a lot more inspiring than yet ANOTHER tour with KMK and hed pe and others of that ilk.
