We represent a fraction...a minute fraction of Tech N9ne fans. We do not make Tech, we do not determine what he will rap about, we do not dictate his life, we do not impact it other than paying his bills by supporting his music. In a "lyrical sense" he's glad to have us because he likes it when people support his music, as any artist would, but Tech makes music because it's his life and his story.
There are what...60 people on this board? How many people are on a better level with Strange and don't post on this board because they have NO IDEA it exists? This is a controlled sample of Tech N9ne fans, that have discovered this board and share their ideas, but by no means do we represent the population of fans as a whole. We are united by an appreciation for an artist, and an active internet connection...that's all. Views are views, opinions are opinions, but, you don't make Tech N9ne. He is who he is because of life experiences...all of which have NOTHING to do with this board.
Tech doesn't know me from John Doe, and I'm fine with that. As great minds have said on this thread, "We enjoy Tech because he makes great music". Not because he's a revelation and an almighty "god" who I worship, loathe, envy, and revel in. He is an artist, plain and simple. And if that makes me a "hater" or a "untrue dude", then maybe I want nothing to do with this music if that's the case. It is you sir that makes Strange look bad.
