"Techn9ne is one of the illest rappers ever. I have heard 5 of his cd's and haven't been disappointed yet. He has a very unique style that can't really be compared to anybody.He can rap slow or hang with the fastest like Twista. His lyrics and the way he spits them are crazy and original.I think the best songs on here are #2, #4, #5, #8,and #12 although the whole cd is excellent. Anyone who is serious about having the tightest rap out there needs to have some Tech N9ne in their collection.......Also check out his latest cd which is tight as hell entitled Absolute Power...Hope you found this review to be helpful."

"Ok, so check it out. I see the one seller selling this album for $499.00. Ok whoever is willing to pay that kind of money for an album, I don't care if it is good, because well this album is good, but, If you fork over 500 dollars to buy a cd, you should hire me as your personal consultant. Other than that Tech N9ne knows how to drop a rhyme and this album got dope beats."

"This has to be one of the tightest mid west albums to drop since twista's adrenaline rush, even though it's new, it's still has to be the best. Those who don't know about Tech N9ne yet, peep game and get this album along with "Worst". Get this ish quick. Peace"

"Twista doesnt even compare to Tech N9ne. Tech N9ne is transforming the Strange Music names into its own Genre. Not only is Tech named after the gun because he can rap to the same speed, he has recently taken to be the Number One Selling Independent.
Tech is a whole new thing, he doesnt rap about the money in his pocket or cars or any of that stuff he raps about life, and REALITY.
Check him out in all the CD's. Hes one to love and you can never get tired of Strange Music!

(5 out of 5 stars)
"After entering the rap game on 2Pac and Jim Belushi's "Gang Related" soundtrack in 1998 with his song, "Question's," Tech N9ne got lots of heads turning. With his crazy, hardcore lyrics and flow, Tech gained a lot of buzz surrounding the release of his first album, "The Calm Before the Storm Volume 1," which was released in 1999.
