Would I be out of line to suggest you do a song with Pusha T, where you go "CHEAH" and he goes "YEACH" or whatever it is he does. They don't have that in the AP Style Guide we all use. That was going to be my next question.how would you spell that? C-H-Y-E-A-H? It's "CHEAH!" Michael Jackson didn't say "c'mon".he said "ch'mon! Lay it on me, alright!" He said "ch'mon!" Instead of "c'mon" because it's harder. It's "yeah" with a "C-H" on it to make the attack even harder. There's a lot of music going on during Special Effects but, call me simple-minded, for all the complex lyrics you got, one word that interests me is "cheah" (editor's note: We found out the proper spelling after the question was asked) between bars.Ĭan you give me a brief background on that? I take these pills Travis gives me and I'm one leg the whole tour. On the "Wicked Wonka" tour back then with I.C.P., the second date of the tour I'm racing Kutt Calhoun and I fall back and slip, break my ankle. tour-broke my eighth or ninth rib, still did the show before I knew they were broken. When I was in Kuwait I fell out of a helicopter-U.S.O. Yeah man, he's a strong guy and we do this, rain, sh*t or snow. When was the last time he was not onstage with Tech N9ne? I will not do a show ever, in life, without Krizz Kaliko. We did our best album ever.Īll the Tech fans know that Krizz is a regular on tour with you. I told him again last year, "I want you to do this whole album with me" and he said "OK." You know I wouldn't bullsh*t. My brother, when I brought him in on Absolute Power in 2002, said "I want you to do this whole album with me," he said "bullish*t." And we did it. Krizz Kaliko murdered "Speedom".I mean, he did damn near the whole album with me. I know all my readers want me to ask about Lil Wayne, ask about Eminem.but I want to ask about Krizz Kaliko, another contributor. And now more of the world is about to listen. A lot of my fans were listening but I want the world to listen.
Like that album I was just talking about, on the Killer album I was ready to quit because nobody was listening. But if it's good, real sh*t always shines. When you're not the norm, people try to shun you because they can't control it. Obviosuly you started your own label, Strange Music.very successful but just the fact that it's called "Strange" and you're so independently-minded.did you ever worry that maybe that was scaring off the more straight-line guys? Now I'm like "damn, why y'all calling' me?".because I'm dope. I was cry in' like (breaks into faux R&B vocals) "why they ain't calllllllll me?" a long time ago. Then you'll end up getting Rock on The Range and Rockfest and all the summer jams and this, that and the other. Hard work and you keep pushing.doing better and better and better. I'm gonna f*ckin' cut everybody's head off.Ī common theme over the years has been "why isn't so-and-so calling me?" Why do the Jay Z's of the world, why don't they want Tech N9ne to do a guest verse? The only people that don't know are the fans. Volbeat knows that we're gonna be doing Rockfest together. It didn't make it out-it was a "Burn It To The Ground" remix. Linkin Park, I've already done a remix with them. You gonna be handing out business cards while you're around today? Like you said, you did Knotfest, you got Corey Taylor on the new album. I'm doing Rockfest in my town May 30 with Rob Zombie. Last year I did Aftershock with Rob Zombie. And now that people are finding out late-better late than never-now I'm doing these festivals. Because I am, true indeed, a clusterf*ck, and that's how I started this. And be here today, to fly here and do Rock on The Range. doing Powerhouse with Kanye West, Ludacris, B.o.B., Nipsey Hussle, Tinashe, everybody on the hip-hop, urban side. They can call me a rapper because that's what I primarily do, but I do music man. "People Are Strange." I was blessed enough to work with the remaining members on my last album right before Ray Manzarek died.
If people knew what I did, then they would understand that I don't have to conform to do anything because I started this Strange Music thing because of The Doors. When I did Knotfest last year with Slipknot, I did exactly what I do every day. I bring exactly what I bring all over the world. Music Times: Someone tells you you're going to be one of the first rappers to play essentially the largest rock festival in the United States, you go about things any differently? The emcee sat it with Music Times to discuss the new album, breaking through to rock fans (and hip-hop fans), stealing drummers from his former tour partners, and also hinting at a Pusha T collaboration to come.hopefully sooner than later.
Tech N9ne is having a good year, recently eclipsing his best sales week ever with new album Special Effects and now headlining the Ernie Ball stage at Rock on The Range in Columbus, OH.
