YMMV / TechN9ne

• Archive Panic: So far, he's released 24 albums, most of which are approximately 80 minutes long, with a few albums even being double albums, so getting into his music might be a heavier undertaking for newcomers due to this.
• Awesome Ego: "He's a Mental Giant" is mainly about how huge Tech N9ne is and how he looks down on haters and pretenders. And it is AWESOME.
• Awesome Music:
  • Tech's flows and rap styles are unique and diverse. Some examples include a growl type voice style in the first verse of "Am I A Psycho" and also depressive tones heard in "Low" and "Happy Ending".
  • "Too Much" has the so-called Trinity of Strange Music (him, Krizz Kaliko and Kutt Calhoun) rapping to an orchestra beat.
  • Speedom (WWC 2), the final song in the Choppers series, and the long-awaited collaboration between Eminem and Tech N9ne is finally here, and it perfectly showcases Em, Tech, and Krizz's skills, over a sample of "Freedom" by Richie Havens.
  • "Face-Off", the first single from ASIN9NE, takes his Wolverine Publicity up to eleven by having Dwayne Johnson of all people, rapping.
• Big-Lipped Alligator Moment: Y'all act like I'm sayin' "I LOVE LUCIFER, I WILL KILL ALL OF YOUUUUU!"
• Funny Moments: A little girl rapping "Dysfunctional" with Tech.
• It's Popular, Now It Sucks!: Some of Tech's older fans have jumped ship with his more recent growth in popularity and more frequent collaborations with more mainstream artists (like Lil Wayne, T-Pain, 2 Chainz, and others). Tech himself talks about this in "Dyin' Flyin'", where he both expresses fear and uncertainty for the future as a result of this, and criticizes the mindset itself, stating that he hasn't changed.

  "My fans are my lifeline, so it kills me to think how they can just cut off-"

• Memetic Mutation:
  • "Speed of Sound", a short, standalone verse originally intended for Bone Thugs-n-Harmony has seen some use in mashups and edits, with one of the most notable being SPEED OF KIRB
  • "Face-Off" is probably the biggest case of this, being used as an audio on TikTok almost entirely because of Dwayne Johnson's verse.
• Periphery Demographic: Somewhat atypical of a hip-hop artist, Tech has a rather large following of white metalhead fans. This can perhaps be attributed to his darker musical themes and sinister persona, and his common usage of rock sounds and collaboration with rock artists. This is actually one of the main criticisms among his detractors, who believe that he panders to this audience at the expense of the standard hip-hop fandom. Tech himself has addressed this in some of his music, namely "Cult Leader" and "B.I.T.C.H."
• Retroactive Recognition: Tech N9ne has been featured on collaboration songs alongside Eminem, KRS-One, Jay-Z, Insane Clown Posse and Twiztid, and Kid Rock let Tech N9ne borrow his tour bus for Tech N9ne and Krizz Kaliko's first tour, but Tech N9ne was largely unrecognized until his independent recording career got massively popular, and that was before he had Dwayne Johnson Guest on one of his albums, pushing Tech N9ne's mainstream recognition even further. Tech N9ne's Wolverine Publicity has also resulted in some Retroactive Recognition for other rappers due to his long list of collaborations, as Yelawolf appeared on a Tech N9ne song before he signed to Shady Records, and Hopsin collaborated with Tech N9ne before he was famous as well.
• One-Scene Wonder: His appearance on the interlude of Lil Wayne's Tha Carter IV (along with an uncredited André 3000) has been repeatedly called one of the highlights of an otherwise disappointing album.
