    My kids are all about Strange Music. Each time I would ride with them, they have their music set. I fell in love with it. Ya I MAY BE in my 50's, my main love is Old School Classic Rock, but this set of music is kickin my ass. It keeps me level. I guess it goes to show, I raised my kids right. Single Mom doin it right they say :-)

      In a world where so many people your age seem to be the types that would dismiss the label as "that crazy young folks' music," you were open-minded to it. You embraced your kids' choice in music, and ended up liking it yourself. Ma'am, I don't know you personally, but I can already tell you that you have my respect.

    I love Tech N9ne and all his music and I know he works so goddamn hard but I gotta give serious props to Travis for what he has done with Strange Music. He has the business sense that helped make Strange Music what it is today. There are many incredible rappers out there who are killing it in the underground scene but can't make it big. Who knows? If not for Travis, Tech might still be another untapped talent.

      Tech N9ne wouldn't be Tech N9ne without Trav and Trav wouldn't be Trav without Tech N9ne.That's why the deal is a 50/50 deal.

    Strange Music artists are the only ones I count the days until a new album drops. The rest might have decent singles, but Tech, Krizz, Kutt, Rittz, Ces Cru, have amazing albums. Love that TechN9ne finally hit the radio!

      i felt the same way, then i met him after a show up here in alaska of all places... i thought id be super nervous, since ive seen so much of the guy through his music and interviews, and how open he is about his life, it was like i already knew him and it was as comfortable as chillin with ur best friend...

  • @j.wolfman5221
    @j.wolfman5221 11 лет назад +3

    Seeing this makes me respect him even more.
    This is how you do it when you're an artist; you create your art, your product, and then you sell it. Period. That simple.
    Why even go with a (major) label these days? What could a major label possibly do for Tech N9ne?
    Sure, they could offer a larger marketing budget, more money for videos etc but then again they'd also take more of the profits, so I bet Tech wouldn't make any more money off that deal than he is now, most likely less.

    I'm from SL,UT and I've been to the Salt-Air shows, on that Motorolla. An experience everytime, I tell you what. Even as I lined up to get my KC Tea DJ Chillest Illest was in line right next to me. I love that, there's no condescending air of superiority. Some of the most talented artists the world has seen yet they're humble and down to earth. That alone makes people enjoy you, with talent they'll give you the world. Keep on Keepin' on Tech.

It's only a matter of time. You cannot stop Tech N9ne or Strange Music. The fan base alone would run through walls. Show respect or fall into darkness.
