That's a dude that's passionate and hungry still after so many years freestyle and albums and doesn't want to be complacent. He says dudes like him that have achieved what he has then retire or go into producing as they think they done it and hunger is gone.
People need to realize that they're witnessing a living legend who raps with the most intricate flows and rhyme schemes with his peer in front of him who is also without a doubt at the upper echelon of lyricists as well. These guys are true lyricists who dedicated their life to rhymes and flows, they know what they're talking about here, pay attention, hip hop afficianados, other rappers, and take notes.
@@camgan1 i disagree, tech n9ne got famous of his flows and consistency. He is not known as the face painted man but more like a chopper or the number one independent rapper in the world.
@@camgan1 You clearly don't know the meaning then... He's stated it time and time again as far as what it represents and how it came about. People like you stay hating based off of misinformation. He was painting his face before the inception of Strange Music. There's a backstory based off of a folk tale that derived from the area in which he was from in Kansas City where a clown in a yellow van was driving around and snatching kids within the neighborhood dubbed the "killer clown" and Tech has always had a fear of clowns growing up, so he decided to use that portrayal as a unique representation of his artistry, based off of his aggressive, rapid flow and left field lyricism, which he started doing when he was in the group NNUTTHOWZE, way before he started gaining any type of buzz. The person that first came up with the concept along with Tech that initially painted his face was Brian 'BZLE' Dennis who was an artist and one of Tech's closest homeboys before he was murdered... He's also stated that it's meant to symbolize his Afro American roots. Has nothing to do with a gimmick.
@@chrischandra1062 I'm not hating. I like Tech N9ne. Painting your face is something that attracts attention and Tech obviously knows that. That's what a gimmick is. Face paint has nothing to do with music.
Yup turned down huge deals to stay independent and look at him now, a millionaire without a contract and this was all before the help of the internet. Tech truly believes in himself and has the work ethic to make things happen. I have much respect for him.
I am so happy Crook finally has a main space to do this. I have enjoyed all of his impromptu videos he used to do just speaking on random hip hop topics.
Now it makes sense, I was at Tech’s concert in Grand Junction in Colorado, and I remember when he was preforming, “N9na” his hand was shaking a lot during that set, and now I see why. I’m glad he did that and he’s breaking barriers. He’s the realest person on this fucking planet 🔥❤️
and Tech is releasing like, 2 albums a year! I've always wondered how he can keep coming out great, interesting music year after a year with no hiatus.
Mad inspiring to hear Tech talk about creating your own universe and manifesting your own ideas. It gives me hope that I eventually can make something of myself in the same way
This hit me so hard. I write intricate raps at different speeds & flows so I know exactly what you guys mean. Pedaling backwards from a written bar because it’s too ill to put in the beginning is so real & difficult to do lmao
Appreciate your work King CROOKED I, your one of my favorite artists that is always real. Appreciate the interviews with our legendary artist's like Eminem, Tech N9ne, etc. Keep up the great work bro
This was dope Crook, great interviewing. Well thought out, good engaging questions - you had me locked in the whole way through. Keep this platform building with great content (non fake industry interviews that have an agenda or heavy promotion behind them) and you will fill a niche gap that alot of true hip hop fans will absolutely love.
Tech n9ne is one of the few rappers that keep it 💯 Dude gets better & better every year & is very consistent & been in the game for a very long time & hes intelligent. Much respect
i wish crook did a rap city vibe after interviews and bust freestyle with the artist he interviews this show would be super lit odeeee use me as a like button if u agree hiphop dx needs this !!!!!
Really enjoyed this interview tech & crooked are great friends you can tell, they enjoy music like they just started rapping yesterday! Check out 2010 k.o.d tour of tech n9ne, snow that product new singles, beast coast rap city reboot & new single left hand, Hopsin Picasso.
OH HELL YES I only recently discovered Crooked but he just keeps blowing my mind with every song i hear, and Tech will forever be the #1 for me. Please god, allow this video to not dissapoint me, Amen. This was great, thanks man
Tech puts the G in genius fo real. Just hearing him talk about music gets me pumped. Ty Crook for this. Finally a reliable host who knows the craft and artform & knows what questions to ask. Cheers
I've been listening to Tech since Anghellic and been to a ton of his shows. He did a show in South Park Colorado in the middle of this field and did the Fragile song and that shit was AMAZING!! Like they said breathing control ain't no joke when you on stage.
So many gems out of this conversation, I appreciate this & always will ! 💯 s/o Crook a lyrical mastermind.. I see I may needa catch up on Tech's work 🤙🏼🤙🏼❗
Biggest respect to tech from Mauritius! One of the most genuine, intelligent and hardworking brothers in the game, much love. This man has next level talent
That caught me there “Do you think that Good is the enemy of Great? Do you think that just because you’re good, you become complacent so you never try to be eventually great?”
I thought Crook has an announcement about Em? Please lord don't allow for Em to not keep a promise to Crook. Joe Budden is salty enough as is because he feels Em did not hold up the bargain with Slaughterhouse. I am hoping Crook is about to interview Royce and Em about their upcoming sequel album. That would be amazing. I am sure Em would love to go on Crook's Corner to gain more eyes on this. He would be delighted to make Crook's podcast popular just to piss Joe off. Em can be petty like that but I love him for it.
Super Happy about this one! I just want to keep pushing because of Tech. Makes me want to make amends with everyone. The emotion he's put out throughout the years has guided me to make better decisions. Some of the party songs he put out I can't say the same lmao but for real he's a real one!
Tech is a true legend. Ive been on that Strange shit since I was a kid. Tech is one of those who, when interviewed, spits fire in 2/3 of them. The other third he just dont spit anything. Nobody in the rap game got the same quality of live performances. No playback and that scene show, like he was a rockstar type shit.
Thank you Crook for this and thank you tech for always putting yourself out there and putting your heart and soul in to your work you help me thru life as a teenager then thru so much after and even the death of my brother we bonded over your music every time your albums came out we tried to be the first to call each other thank you for the memories you help me create with my brother thank you much love from your fan 4life RIP Rafael Leyva
Shout out Crooked I, cuz no one else could have gotten this great content out of Tech. its just two dope lyricist having a dope conversation! I'm loving it!!!
25:40 fast forward 2 years later and Tech N9ne and The Rock have a song that's currently number 1 on iTunes.
Fuckin crazy!
And the Rock ruined it. Can't stand that guy.
Crooked I pushing real hip hop content, none of that BS.
❤
BS
What Brian Smith
Catching the eye of Bullshit
tech looks like he wants to start rapping while he's talking lol
DAT HUNGER
Right 😂 Everytime he pauses I'm almost expecting the next sentence to rhyme
Watch DMX interviews, he starts talking then suddenly raps lol
Mind be racing like he on Natural speed.
That's a dude that's passionate and hungry still after so many years freestyle and albums and doesn't want to be complacent. He says dudes like him that have achieved what he has then retire or go into producing as they think they done it and hunger is gone.
first episode Daylyt , then Tech ...yo Crook thank you!

It doesn't get any better then two legendary emcees chopping it up over the craft. Respect to both Crook and Tech
Two of my fav rappers lyrical killers

Awesome and relevant conversation, not just clout chasing drama. Thank You.

Y'all be Killin me.
That our house poster makes me depressed that glass house never came out 😭
Windy Soun it can still come out without garbage ass crooked I he was the weakest link anyways
I was thinking that watching the 1st episode, fucking gutting man!
@@knowledge2159 boi get yo ass outta here. Joe Budden was the weakest.
@@knowledge2159 are you serious? crooked I one of the best ones that was in that group. Bro he can out rap Eminem now days without trying lol
@@knowledge2159 crooked I was probably joint best with Royce. I think your autocorrect failed you again
tech talk so slow and so fluent for someone who raps so fast and so fiercely, seeing this guy online or live you'd never think he spoke like this
Way better than vlad tv
Why is this even a comment?
don't even compare.
I don't know about that the Danny Trejo interviews got my hopes up again
Hardout
Vlad interviews are trash compare to crook because crook focus on hip hop and not that gossip/pillow talking bullshit.
They need to get on the same track again! Always fire
rvdrulez they've got so much tracks already. I hope to see them do an album in the future
Leandro Bomans they have four if you don’t count tech’s narrative track on Crooked’s last album.
T 123 you missed out ‘Beast (Southpaw Remix)’ too
rvdrulez whoops. Now that completes the list
Crooked should get immortal technique 💯
Yeah man
Absolutely.
Master Chef Toast 🇿🇦
One of my favorite of all time. don't ever stop tech.
See crook put his phone away. Rosenberg should take some notes
Kody IM DEAD
Kody real talk
LMAOOOO
Couldnt agree more.
Two Goats just having a real conversation~
Sickology 101 is in session i thought you knew it!?
*Tech been Indy since the 90s(which was unheard of). He's a Hip Hop legend. Also he's easily one of the best Hip Hop performer ever.*
Yup turned down huge deals to stay independent and look at him now, a millionaire without a contract and this was all before the help of the internet. Tech truly believes in himself and has the work ethic to make things happen. I have much respect for him.
For real? No fucking way!! thank you for clarifying this unknown fact!
Thats not true, tech had a deal with qd3 and another that sway had something to do with
@@blackmoneynewmoney No

I am so happy Crook finally has a main space to do this. I have enjoyed all of his impromptu videos he used to do just speaking on random hip hop topics.
When Crooked asked how you doing, Was expecting Tech to respond with I'm shizzlin'... 😂😂
Real MC's talking about Hip Hop respect
Tech 'You know what I'm sizzlin?' N9ne
THIS SEGMENT HAS REVIVED HIP-HOPS HOPE IN THIS CHANNEL
Now it makes sense, I was at Tech’s concert in Grand Junction in Colorado, and I remember when he was preforming, “N9na” his hand was shaking a lot during that set, and now I see why. I’m glad he did that and he’s breaking barriers. He’s the realest person on this fucking planet 🔥❤️

You- Your Own Universe
Tech is a sick example of what can happen when you manifest your own destiny.
Goosebumps, two of the greatest of all time.
Crooked laughs, then says, "why you need six buildings?" then tech explains the empire. He had to instantly regret that laugh. Lmfao!!
This is the best Tech interview ive ever seen! Awesome job Crooked!
This was a great. It wasn't even an interview it's just two MC having a conversation. I want more!!
This was a fantastic interview and I love watching tech talk about his music
and Tech is releasing like, 2 albums a year! I've always wondered how he can keep coming out great, interesting music year after a year with no hiatus.
Mad inspiring to hear Tech talk about creating your own universe and manifesting your own ideas. It gives me hope that I eventually can make something of myself in the same way
N9ne's new album was so good. I hadn't really checked him out but I'm a fan now.
That’s dope he has new fans still
He has about 22 albums so you have a lot to catch up on.. So much good music.
@@bostonbangouts ive been checking it out and it's crazy. He's possibly the most under rated rapper. He should be at legendary status
Medicine to navigate through the darkness 🔥🙏
This hit me so hard. I write intricate raps at different speeds & flows so I know exactly what you guys mean. Pedaling backwards from a written bar because it’s too ill to put in the beginning is so real & difficult to do lmao
This is probably my favorite crooks corner interview, I'll always rep Tech N9ne, STRANGE!
Isn't this only the second episode?
Keep up with the Excellence! Crook's Corner is great, man
Yayy crooks corner !!! i feel like a lil kid again man!
I seen tech live in fresno and it was one of the best live shows ever.. He gave a good show from start to finish
I love how Tech cares so much about the process of artistic creativity. That's the most interesting part.
Appreciate your work King CROOKED I, your one of my favorite artists that is always real. Appreciate the interviews with our legendary artist's like Eminem, Tech N9ne, etc. Keep up the great work bro
Thank you Crook! Everyone should watch this! Awesome job

CROOKED I
With that serious MMMM.. after hearing something real.

I only recently discovered Crooked but he just keeps blowing my mind with every song i hear, and Tech will forever be the #1 for me.
Please god, allow this video to not dissapoint me, Amen.
This was great, thanks man
We need Royce Da 5'9 and Joell Ortiz on here Crook!
Royce next confirmed
Tech must have some lyrical tape worms to make him that hungry llal 💯
Nice analogy
Sometimes I wonder if this is just how he is. Dude never breaks character. He has such a fascinating personality.
"This Ring" is his greatest song imo.. and Tech said that too..
Produced by
Icy Roc Kraven
This ring is fucking deep... Love that song.
Tech puts the G in genius fo real. Just hearing him talk about music gets me pumped. Ty Crook for this. Finally a reliable host who knows the craft and artform & knows what questions to ask. Cheers
Dope ass Episode & interesting!! Two of my Top 5 DOA!

Fragile- hands down one of my favorite songs! Need to do a remix w/ Yelawolf. 🎤🎧🎛☠

Yo respect to crooked I too, a real hip hop connoisseur
This was very insightful, hope to see you guys do more tracks together, maybe with the Horseshoe Gang aswell, that would be a dream!
That caught me there
“Do you think that Good is the enemy of Great? Do you think that just because you’re good, you become complacent so you never try to be eventually great?”
Two of the greatest to ever do it!!! Let’s do this🙏
Thank you for this episode! Big fan of Crooked I and Tech N9ne is my all-time favorite artist. Great conversation between two ELITE emcees.
His work ethic is phenomenal. Tech is one of the greats
Tech deserves all the love he gets and even more man, forever legendary
Crook Keep it up my brother - you are killing these interviews while selecting GREAT guests.
Man it is always an honor to see tech do an interview with someone he respects. N9na one of the GOAT ever!!
💯🤘💯🤘💯🤘💯🤘 Bruh 2 of the greatest 2 touch da 🎤🎙 ever. Straight respect emcee 2 emcee...
Hearing them talk about running from songs to perform really hits home as an artist... Fuckin inspiring to say the least 🔥🙏🏻
