With the Something Else pre-order on iTunes fans got an instant dose of dope to go along with it: the instant download of “So Dope” from Tech N9ne’s much-anticipated album.

We talked to Tech N9ne about “So Dope” and why it’s such an important song from the new album, as it carries on the tradition of intricate rhyme clinics like “Worldwide Choppers” and “Unfair” from past albums. For “So Dope”, Tech N9ne pulled out all the tricks he has up his sleeve, old and new, letting Technicians know that no expectation is too high, and in the process crafted yet another song that begs the question: “How does he do it?”

In our interview with Tech N9ne he reveals just how he does it, why “So Dope” is such an important addition to his catalogue and what to expect from the rest of Something Else.

It seems that every record you drop has at least one song where you’re really showing out. How important is it for you to include a song like that on this record?

It’s very important because I’m Technician Number One and a Technician is a person who loves to listen to music with a technical style of rhyme, so if I do an album and I don’t do no choppin on it, I’m not living up to what I’m supposed to be doing.

In actuality, a lot of fans would love for me to do a whole chopper album. I don’t think that would be good because people do that already. I think that every once in awhile I’ll have two or three or one that will show you that I’m not fucking around, period, because I am Technician Number One so there will always be a chopper track on a Tech N9ne song album, or a Tech N9ne collab or EP or whatever – a song that resembles chopping, because that’s a part of my style so it’s going to come in and out .

It’s very important to have that because the fans know that’s what they’re here for. They’ve been here since the ’90s. The first big thing I had was Gang Related Soundtrack, the 2Pac movie, Jim Belushi and the song I had on there was “Whyyyyy…” (raps “Questions”). People heard me chopping from the beginning, since they first heard me. I’m not speaking of the people in Kansas City because they knew me way before ’98, that I was a chopper. Gang Related was what they first heard so that’s what a lot of people expect me to do and so it’s important that I have one to show people that “You ain’t fucking with me!” Just going cuckoo. (Raps “So Dope”). You know what I’m saying? Just fucking killing it. I can hardly say it right now because it’s so fucking intricate. I have to let people know that after all these years i still got it and it ain’t going nowhere, so that’s why it’s so important to have “So Dope” on this motherfucker and to bring all the people that I brought on it because they’re equally dope to me.
