In the article "Tech N9ne Sells Himself Hard as he Purses' the Hip Hop Presidency" by Erin Podolsky shes basically talking about how Tech came from nothing and is now getting big in the hip hop industry. Tech is by far my favorite artist in the music industry today. Like stated in the article he can write songs that make you want to party but than can make songs that have meaning and kind of hit you and you can feel it. He can rap fast but than again he can sing slow. This article is relatively old being published in 2008 but I still read a lot of things I had no clue about. One thing i really found interesting was how he had choosen his name. Tech said "I learned over the years that 9 is the number of completion. Nine months for a pregnancy; cat’s got nine lives; the whole nine yards is everything". I thought that was pretty clever and there is truth behind it, because if you want something you got to go the whole nine yards. I also thought it was cool when he said his first show in San Diego only had 6 people and now he's selling out in San Diego. That just goes to show that some hard work and dedication will make you go places. Today Tech N9ne is the #1 idependent rapper in the world, meaning his music is not promoted on the radio yet he still gets a whole lot of respect. If you guys enjoy hip hop I suggest checking out Tech N9ne if you haven't yet.
