Hey! I'm a moderator over at /r/techn9ne and would love if you answered some questions!
1) What is the song or album that you personally are most proud of?
2) What (if any) independent rappers are you considering recruiting to Strange Music?
3) What advice would you give to all of your younger listeners?
I'm really proud of 'Worldwide Choppers"
I cant tell you yet! Haha
Keep on keepin on!
Hey Tech, first off I'm in the Army and I want to thank you for all of your support of the troops.
Secondly, What inspired you to visit the troops overseas and write "The Noose" with Mayday?
Because of the news of all the suicides that occur among soldiers.
First of all, Do you feel your fans have embraced therapy like you've wanted them to?
And
Would you ever give me the chance to come on to your tour bus? ;)
Yes, and I'm so happy about it.
not if you don't have a pussy!
Currently calling doctors to get sex change surgery....
LOL LOL LOL
What's the craziest shit that's ever gone down on your bus? Loved the tour of it, by the way. Rotating wardrobe my man, you know what it's all about!
I can't tell you that. It's incriminating!
Huge fan here! Who is your favorite artist to listen to that isn't on Strange Music?
Corey Taylor.
I was introduced to your music by a friend 4 years ago and you are hands down one of my favorite rappers of all time. Question, which artist would you like to collaborate with but haven't had the chance yet? Keep making great music!
Eminem.
I wasn't in to rap until I heard Riot Maker ages ago. Since beginning your publicized career, have you noticed any huge shifts in the style of music that you produce for one reason or another?
My music changes by the day. I write my life. So, it changes every day.
Hey Tech. You and the Strange Music crew have a great sound. Thanks for making great music! I have 2 questions:
1) What's your craziest road story?
2) Since the Lil Wayne collab, have other artists apporached you and which would you work with assuming everything comes together right?
edit: The children seem to be downvoting today....
edit 2: The children have had a change of heart. Thanks children!
Dudes offer me their wives.
Not really, to your second question because I'm a murderer.
I noticed a Lana Del Rey album in one of your instagram videos... is this a hint of things to come? Please confirm
I fucking hope so, I love Lana!
HOW ABOUT THEM CHIEFS?!?!?!
No, seriously, what was your reaction when Sherman coffed up that fumble right after we got one off them? Predictions for the rest of the season?
I don't wanna talk about it LOL
First I want to thank you for changing the game. Your rhymes are not only machine-gun fast but intelligently written as well [and don't get me started on Worst Enemy.. genius..] But I have a few questions
1) Which do you sip on more, Caribou Lou or KC Tea?
2) Who is the lady who sings the hook for 'Who Do I Catch Now'? I feel like I've heard her on other Strange recordings
I sip on KC Tea a lot because Caribou Lou will put you on your ass and you cant do that every day. Unless youre me! LOL
It's a girl named Courtney and a girl named Liz Suwandi.
I've really wondered for a long time, how is Hopsin as a person? And are you featuring on more songs on Knock Madness? P.S You the shit man!
Hopsin is a cool and humble muthafucka around me. LOL
I'm only on one song.
I see you perform in Jordan's, which Jordan is your favorite?
5's.
Hey tech! First of all huge fan.. How did you come up with the idea for "Worldwide choppers?"
Traveling all over the world, listening to muthafuckas rap.
Who is your biggest inspiration?
My life.
Which one of your albums is your favorite and why?
Something Else. Because it's a mixture of everything I do from The Calm Before The Storm up!
Personally, what song of yours would be the best to dance to on my first dance at my wedding?
Cult Leader LOL
Cult Leader LOL
No, That Box
No, That Box
No, Areola lolol
Do you ever do improv rapping?
No, I write everything, but before I write, I freestyle words and pitches and everything.
What are your thoughts on Snowtheproduct?!
I think she's crazy lyrically AND mentally. I just think she gets quiet around me so I won't know that she's crazy for real. But from one crazy to another, I know she is.
What's the hardest drug you've ever done?
Ketamine and NOT willingly.
Yo Tech I'm visiting KC next week! Where can I get get some good grub at? I know you know the spots!

TECH N9NE! I'm a huge fan. I literally listen to 'I Can Get Grim' every morning before I go to class and was curious as to whether you'd ever consider releasing anymore NUTTHOWZE tracks from back in the day, kinda like a vintage tech part 2 type of thing?

Yeah, I'd work with Mac.
The rain had your 2 daughters on it. Do they have any interest in following in their fathers foot steps? And thank you for doing what you do, much respect.

Whenever you guys call me again.

Will you still be performing when you're 50?
I think so.
Tech, I saw you at the Sprite Liquid Mix tour in 2001 having never heard of you, and after that show went out and got EVERYTHING I could find by you. I just wanted to say you've been my favorite rapper ever since, and your music has gotten me through some shit, so thanks.
Having said that, I've noticed that your music seems to hold a slight homophobic stance. Is this due to your personal opinions, your religion, or (I know this isn't why) your trying to conform to go hip stereotypes. Please know I'm not trying to insult you, I've just always wondered this add someone who fucking loves your music, but is a very outspoken lgbt supporter.
Thanks in advance for an answer, and thanks again for the years of entertainment your music has given me.
Also, you were a fucking BEAST in Jacksonville last year, please come back!
Uh, I love lesbians and I have no problem with gay dudes. What did I say that made you think I'm against gays? Have you listened to 'Believe'?
I said people should be free to be together, should be free to be whatever.

Depends on how she looks...and if she's old enough.
