Wrong. He did pick the name out of a gun mag, but once they chose the name, they changed the spelling of the name from Tec 9 to Tech N9ne - Tech: short for Technique, 9: the complete number (the whole 9 yards). Complete Technique of rhymes. Its been that way since day 1.
Anywayz, its funny to me how people will talk shit, "Man this is just new expierement shit, he needs to go back to that Anghellic CBTS shit). But when someone like 50 Cent or Twista puts out shit that sounds the exact same recycled shit from past albums people are like, man they need to switch it up, this shit sounds just like it did 7 yrs ago.
Just shut the fuck up and be happy with the music, if its good its good and slap it. There will NEVER be another Anghellic or CBTS. They were classic of their time and will remain that way. Look at when they try to redo a classic movie of the past, they fuck it all up and it never is as good as the original. U can just take the general idea and tweak and put out a better product. Which IMO is what Tech did with KOD. He took the darkness theme of Anghellic but modernized it with this new era of music and added his own new twist on it...
