This isn’t Pitchfork, so I can say nice things like that. Once I started going through XXL’s list of Tech N9ne’s 30 Most Essential Songs, like most everyone I’ve ever actually invested time into understanding, Tech started to win me over. It starts off with a sobering revelation. This video is a tear-jerker, where Tech questions whether the God he’s praying to for his sick mother is even up there. I can’t see Tech and The Postal Service recording a duo album in Seattle anytime soon. For a wannabe hipster douchebag like myself, it was initially a little off-putting.
“When I first saw them, I was like, ‘Wow! More psycho motherfuckers like myself!’ I loved it.” Once again, dude knows he’s a bit crazy.
Now, I was always under the impression that the only people who listened to Slipknot were the hillbilly kids from back home that needed some good 4-wheelin’ music to trod off into the woods and snort Vicodin to, but it appears their fanbase is broader than I originally thought-extending even into the wide world of hip-hop. Perusing a list of Tech’s favorite albums, Slipknot is on there.
