TECH N9NE - Before They Were Famous
SUBSCRIBE: / mrmccruddenmichael
BEFORE Tech N9ne dropped his seventeenth studio album The Storm
BEFORE he would sell two million albums and have his music featured in film, television, and video games.
BEFORE he worked with the likes of 3 6 Mafia, Lil Wayne, B.o.B, Kendrick Lamar, Twista, T-Pain, Eminem, 2 Chainz, Snoop Dogg as well as the remaining members of the doors and members of System Of a Down.
BEFORE Tech N9ne would earn the third greatest pay out from touring in 2011 behind Jay-Z and Kanye West.
BEFORE Tech N9ne would establish his own indipendent label Strange Music.
Tech N9ne got into music extremely young and taught himself to read and do math through his own tutorial raps. He was raised by a single mother who battled lupus throughout his life, young Aaron found an outlet from the emotional pain of her health through music, he also developed an early obsession with ghosts which would inspire him to develop his signature on stage look. Outside of music he was getting in trouble as a youth rolling with the Bloods and nearly died one night taking 15 ecstasy pills all at once. He was signed to a few major labels but no one knew what to do with a black artist wearing face paint and with red hair. The man worked long and hard grinding it out as an independent for decades before making it to the top of the class, when he would eventually achieve his dreams and be listed on Forbes for earning 8 million dollars, well his mother succumbed to her illnesses, not witnessing the success of her only boy.
My name is Michael McCrudden documenting the life of Tech N9ne prior to fame, here for you on Before They Were Famous.
Now you guys requested this one a whole long time ago and each and every day, so I’m glad we are now getting it done. Let me know in the comments down below, who do you want to hear about next.Aaro

DAMN YOU THINK KANSAS CITY PEOPLE WERE IRRITATED LOL, i bought Anghellic when it first came out not knowing who techn9ne was, i bought it cuz the Source magazine gave it a great review on the album, and everyone i played it for was basically saying it sucked, keep in mind I’m from and living all the way over here in Massachusetts, well fast forward a few years later and the same people that told me Techn9ne SUCKED are copping all his albums and playing it and loving it and they’re all acting like they’ve been listening to him since the beginning, and of course knowing me i had to go and remind them what they told me they thought about him when i played them one of his earliest albums, AND FUCKING NOW LOOK AT TECH-A-N9NA LITERALLY CONSIDERED THE GREATEST INDEPENDENT HIP HOP ARTIST OF ALL FUCKING TIME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Tech is "over all" the best rapper on this planet. There are rappers that may kill it in one aspect or another. Tech has the greatest collective skill. Hes also very wise. Hes not just some thug as wannabe gangster. Hes 100, hes a true gangster.
tech n9ne is HELLA dope. proud to own a signed CD by him. it would have been cool if you mentioned how he was trying to get Eminem on a track for a longggggg time, but schedules conflicted. Eminem also said in an interview that he would be HONOURED to do a song with tech :D he's been a tech fan for a whileeeeee

Tech is right that real music is supposed to spread and shine. Just because he isn't underground anymore doesn't mean you should hate him. What you should hate is corporate greed and plastic people who create plastic musical acts only to make money. Tech n9ne is the only rapper I really respect these days.

In edition, tech didn't paint his face because he likes ghosts. It is as a tribute to his friend Brian Dennis who used to do it for him but was murdered in a crime of passion
