What can you say about Tech N9ne?
Corey Taylor of Slipknot & Stone Sour
Corey Taylor: Tech N9ne is fucking awesome! I think he’s one of the most talented rappers out there. He’s consistently killer, and he’s extremely smart and clever. I loved working with him. We did something really cool.
Serj Tankian of System of a Down
Serj Tankian: Tech N9ne is extremely talented. I had fun working on “Straight Out the Gate” on Something Else with him, meeting him, and doing the video with him. He’s a very cool guy. He’s not just an amazing MC, he’s rhythmically one of the fastest rappers I’ve ever seen. I was just really blown away by him and his presence, and we became friends. It’s a good thing. I think we made a great song.
Chino Moreno of Deftones, Team Sleep, & ††† (Crosses)
Chino Moreno: Tech’s dope! Killer was a really cool album. He’s got such interesting word patters, and he’s super-fast. I definitely like that.
MGK: Anghellic is my shit. Tech is fucking incredible, and I loved touring with him and working with him. He’s definitely a real inspiration for sure.
Ivan Moody of Five Finger Death Punch
Ivan Moody: I absolutely love Tech N9ne. I don’t even consider him a fucking rapper. That guy is an artist. You talk about someone with real intellect and talent. That’s him.
Aaron Nordstrom of Gemini Syndrome
Aaron Nordstrom: I listen to a lot of Tech N9ne, especially at night for some reason. He’s a freaking genius.
