Tech N9ne

People forget what makes an MC an MC. An MC has two elements: delivery and lyrics. The best MC should have the best combination of those. Tech N9ne has better delivery than ANYONE. EVER. BY WAY FAR. I don't think his lyrics are quite the most complex, but his rhyme schemes are crazy. Pay attention to what words rhyme and you can tell. That being said, his lyrics are still some of the best ever. I think only Eminem, Lupe, Pac, and Nas can compare in lyrics.

Here are some things that are included in this argument that have nothing to do with being a great M popularity, impact on the game, beats, sales, and awards. Those all have to do with money. Tech didn't go for a major record deal, because he wanted to do his own thing. Therefore, he doesn't have money to spend on high-profile producers or advertising. This also means he's not as widely known, popular, high-selling, and he can't make much of an impact on the game. This is about to change though, as he seems to be becoming a big name. He will surely stun some people with his appearance on the Carter IV.

Has the most versatile flow of all rappers because he's been around so long and still is in the game. He came from nothing and isn't on another artist label, he made his own and is helping others off of it! He does multiple genres within reason unlike lil Wayne. Has the most loyal fan base, every fan of him is a strong fan and knows almost everyone of his songs. Goes by the motto "tech will never go mainstream, mainstream will go tech" he also doesn't hate on artist, he's done stuff with lil Wayne multiple times as well as E-40. He does features with rappers he notices are elite like Hopsin and B.O.B. I personally think he's the best rapper, his KOD album was looked at as dark and evil but it actually teaches people how to deal with their dark times and people have even said this album stopped them from committing suicide. He is also the fastest rapper that is understandable and can switch the flow up at those speeds, he is just clearly the best and any fan would say that, people that don't think he's the best hate him completely or don't know him. I garuntee anyone that listened to three albums of his would put him in top ten. Nothing more I can say except he is the best at what he does.

Tech n9ne is a real rapper and if lil wayne is number three then I'm a monkey's uncle. Tech should be in the top ten for sure.

Tech should be number 1! he is so much better than any mainstream rapper. He has amazing diversity in his music, he can do party music or he can do slow meaningful tear-jerking songs. His music is crazy, the other artists he works with have awesome talent too which makes his songs even better. He has gotten where he is now completely independently, without the help of the mainstream. He himself said a long time ago, "Tech N9ne will never go mainstream, mainstream will go tech", the fact that there is now many mainstream artists calling on him now and wanting to work with him shows that he was right and people are finally starting to realize his amazing talent. This list is ridiculous because most of these people only know what they hear on the radio, so they think people like lil wayne deserve top ten, even though he is truely as much of a discrace to hip hop music as justin beiber.

Technician For Life!

For those of you who don't know tech nine, he is exactly what the perfect rapper is in most people's book. He is faster than anybody in the top ten especially lil Wayne and it's a shame they work together now. He has killer lyrics and a good voice to with it. For some reason he goes unnoticed and it's a shame

No one string rhymes and flows together like Tech does, the way is tracks, rhymes... Everything flows together to form beautiful music, he's the fastest out of this list, plus he's independen, if he had all the media attention that Em and Wayne have, he'd probably be different, when Em was Underground he was awesome, when he went mainstream it went all to his head, just like the self proclaimed king (Lil Wayne) I'm glad Tech didn't go mainstream early in his career, if he did... He probably wouldn't be as good, mainstream ruins people, it makes people over confident, plus people now-a-days listen to bad music, no lyricism what-so-ever now... Look at Wayne's lyrics... All I can say is what!? He brings the delivery, but not the lyrics, Em, I think he's number two, but Tech all the way, I'll solidify my point... Mainstream ruins talent, Tech's the king, no doubt

He has the some of the best if not the best flow, rhyme, and a unique ability to change up his style. Great at rapping fast as well. I think he isn't talked about with some of the "greatest" as often because he didn't sell out to the major recording companies and therefor he didn't get as famous from all the deals that comes with that sort of deal/contracts, yet he has still managed to make millions without them. His live shows are also second to none, he draws a crowd of all types and ages simply because they heard he's a great show.

By far the most overlooked talented rapper. Without a shadow of a doubt if more people knew him he'd be a top 5 rapper of all time easily.

The greatest rapper, lyricist, performer, artist, you name it, of all time. The definition of a real MC, and the greatest, most loyal fan base ever. Tech's been doing it longer than the casual fan realizes because they are just hearing about him, now that he is blowing up. And no one deserves it more. He built the number 1 independent label in the world from the ground up, stayed true to himself, and knew (he called it a long time ago) that the world would finally recognize, and you know what him and all of the Techn9cians around the world have to say about that? F. T. I. always and forever. 6688846993

Tech n9ne is a beast. His flow is by far the best that I know of. Some of his songs might suck... But then again what artist doesn't make a bad song? Overall there's way more songs that are good than bad. Tech also raps about real stuff for the most part he actually puts feeling into his music and usually relates it to his life and others. I hate when people are like "raps all about money and smoking weed" uhh no that's retarded. That just sell out mainstream garbage that can be good but for the most part sucks. Tech has word play, flow, amazing rhymes, and is fast I honestly can't think of anyone better than tech

Tech is without a question the best rapper nobody can deliver with the impeccable timing that he brings on a track. He feels the music he writes and puts his soul on the beat not the garbage most of these other rappers record (minus a few exceptions). There is nobody with the range of tech from making gospel songs to straight up rock and roll, and making it all sound amazing. There is a tech song out there for everyone and lyrically he will blow your mind. Its a shame he's this far down the list his music is like therapy.
TECH N9NE #1 independent dapper in the world baby

Tech N9ne is the greatest rapper alive from the way I see it. He has speed and lyricism, he doesn't leave out any of it, and he can switch up his style just in one verse. Some people think that his older music is better, but I think he got more talented as he made more albums. He was way before his time when he began, and he couldn't have been a lot more famous sooner if Tupac would have stayed alive, because they almost collaborated. More and more people are learning about Tech, and are being blown away by everything he does.

I don't see how tech isn't top 10! Every song he delivers, he's and amazing rapper, forget about if your "independent" OT "mainstream"is rap politics? I just don't see how this guy isn't top 3 he's up there with 2pac and Em no doubt, he has the best flow I've ever heard in my life hell he's doing the biggest tour in history the guy is real he's energetic and song after song he delivers. Tech N9ne is the most gifted rapper in the game, say what y'all want Tech. Delivers

TECH N9NE BABY! He is by far better than any rapper that has ever lived his lyrics are perfect, he always comes with some sick insane rhyme scheme and triple rhyme schemes and has so many small elements in his music that you would have to be a true Tech9cian to even begin understanding. He is going to go down in history as the most talented, bad ass, fastest, skilled rapper to ever live. nobody is better than him now, nobody ever has, and nobody ever will be. Nuff said STRANGE MUSIC BABY!

There is no question... The KC King is more than a Rapper... He's the Head of Strangeland... He sets the bar for what a musician should be. Along with all he's done for himself, he is also head of the #1 independent label in the world. He is finally gaining more popularity as the Mainstream goes Tech, and as the years go by, he gets better, and more people recognize what he's done. Nobody is more respected in the game for a good reason. He doesn't spit about how much money he's got.

I have done production with him have not met anyone touching my brother at all he is in a league of his own... I listen to a lot of people and songs they do they do the same patterns on all there songs.. He lets the music dictate what he does... He is a beast his rhythm is something few can match.. Congrats tech for being different and staying strange.

Tech n9ne is the greatest rapper to ever set foot on this planet. He has it all, sick beats, great flow and delivery, speed and slow when he wants and some crazy rhymes. He puts rappers like lil wayne to shame and its a disgrace that he's way down at 18 behind some horrible rappers (lil wayne) pleeassee just listen to him, if your a true rap lover there's no way you can't like him. The only rappers that are even close to him are tupac, biggie, jay z and eminem

Tech is the best rapper of all time, he is not very popular but the people who know him know that he is the bomb. ALl of his songs are complex and 4 dementional. He never has a bland song he always steals the show and no one can deny it. HE is essentially a underground rapper but he is ranked 18th on the list. Lets get some Technitions to bump him up to the top of the list. I guarentee you if you had never heard of him you will love him if you look up his songs

Tech N9ne is easily the greatest rapper ever to spit on the mic. Each one of his songs take lyrics to the next level. I mean honestly has anyone ever listened to any of his music. He makes half the rappers in the top 10 look like vanilla ice. It bothers me that just because he's independent people don't give him his due. "World Wide Choppers", listen to it and you will understand what I mean.

I agree people don't realize how much potential tech has.. You can put him up against eminem for instance he's got the talent to spit killer flows and he's got speed which makes it better because it takes a lot of skill to flow words that fast at the top of your head>>and people may not realize it but tech will soon be at the very top with or without the industry.. Hopefully without

Tech n9ne shouldn't just be in the top 10 he should be in the top three if anything. He's so much better then lil wayne it actually blows my mind. Crazy delivery, way to fast when he wants to be, great lyrics and rhymes, and ridiculous beats. Just all around great songs, best albums are killer, K.O. D, everready and sickology 101. Just trust me, listen to him and prepare to be amazed

Tech N9ne is the best rapper because he raps about his life, pain, happiness children, marriage or whatever he cares about. He's original, lyrically blessed, the number 1 independent rapper in the world vice president of strange music inc. He doesn't say he's better than anyone and he's gone a long way in the rap game

Best Rapper Alive! He is not an industrial brat and it is difficult for anyone to keep up with him. After listening to him I don't feel anything when I hear Eminem. Still keeps his great flow on all his songs. Sick music and lyrics is a bonus.

Tech has a great flow, and unlike many others today, he clearly states what he is rapping even when its really fast. He is one of the few who can go all out, very fast (Ex worldwide choppers). Also, he's not fake at all, he rarely talks about killing, he just flows and make great sense. I would definitely put him in my top 7. Long live n9ne

Tech is the king of rap overall, the fact that his rhymes kill anybody else's in the rap game out there easily places him in the top 10 if not the number 2 spot, I think the only person who deserves it better is Eminem,
Play his music liked he died, let everyone know that he can rhyme buy he got shipped to Iraq and steeped on a landmine!

Nobody is on Tech N9ne's level in any way. He didn't need any radio or TV airing to get to where he is now. His lyrics are the best, his beats are insane, and his vision is not even comparable to anyone else. Most versatile artist in the world. Tech is the GOAT. Hands down.
