Tech N9ne’s “Special Effects” makes SPIN’s “50 Best Hip Hop Albums of 2015”

It’s the end of the year, and that means that it’s time for a bunch of “best of” lists to come out!  One of those lists is from SPIN Magazine, who ranks their 50 Best Hip Hop Albums of 2015.

Now why is Faygoluvers posting about this?  Because Tech N9ne, who is for whatever reason touted as the “greatest JUGGALO rapper of all time” has made the list!  His latest solo LP Special Effects comes in on the list at #49!  You can see what was said about the album below.

From Spin.com:

49. Tech N9ne
Special Effects

The greatest Juggalo rapper of all time is one of the fastest “technicians” in the world, as they call him — he raps along with 21 unloaded machine-gun rounds at every concert. At age 44, the only guy who can snag collaborations with both Lil Wayne and Slipknot’s Corey Taylor hit the top five on theBillboard Top 200 for hard-won reasons, and it’s time the gatekeepers noticed. Gearing his syllables to spin cleanly like helicopter blades — or guillotines — he name-checks soft-folkie Richie Havens (!) on the best-in-show whirlwind “Speedom (WWC2),” which also proudly features the most blinding Eminemverse since “Rap God.” Weezy holds his own on the more laid-back “Bass Ackwards,” while 2 Chainz helps the atypically patient “Hood Go Crazy” become a sparse banger. But the guests showcase Techanina’s wide-reaching charisma, and his sales numbers are proof that talent alone is sometimes enough. — DAN WEISS
