The first tech album I ever bought. Once I heard devil Boy, it was a wrap. Next was tormented, then alive, Einstein, who you came to see, this ring. I could go in and on. Miss that part of my life, the mid oughts.
Tech is one the best rappers of today, for a while I stopped listening to rap. But, now I'm listening to it again thanks to tech. Technician I am, in life and in death.
@1:05 ive waited 20 years to finally get to see this in person and Tech blessed me tonite in Berkeley, Ca. I was ready and had everyone around me fuckin hyped and in awe 🙏🏾🔥 Thank You Tech 🙌🏾❤️
His style of rapping is incredible I love his flow me and him have known each other for many years I remember when I first met him back in nineteen ninety two and we are still cool to this day
Im from kansas so I freakin love that line about people making jokes and say "we off to see the wizard" but me and dorothy and toto's on yo ASS when you visit!! Haha!!
Because... Nobody ever wanted me rappin', but I knew within me I could make it happen, flippin' hella different to get it crackin', never bitin' nothin' I was never jackin' millimeter spittin' rippin' up a show, got people trippin' everywhere we go
I dont think people realize how good the production on this album was for the year it came out.
who made the beats
Also an amazing feat for an underground budget

My all-time fav. Tech album too. When I coped this cd I listened to it everyday for about 2 1/2 months & still played it after that
Absolute Power 4 me
Once I was in class and I heard this kid by me say "1 then comes the 2 to the 3 and 4". We have been good friends ever since. Haha

Techs early shit had crazy substance and was so visual. I MISS THIS TECH.
The ❤ of kansas city is beatin
I remember when I heard the radio. I've been hooked on this ever since.
"Kansas City city is where I wanna be" damn I would love to see him perform this album live in his hometown best showman best rapper ever
Bruh this how long I been listening to tech nine
Who's here in 2022 jamming the song that hooked most of us and made us Technicians before we knew what to call it 🐍🦇
Best album I've ever heard!
High School memories! KC stand up!
1:06 that part gives me chills
This is the song that got me listening to tech...the drum and bass break did it for me...big ups
So glad im on youtube at this current point of time, love this track
1:54 my favorite part
Best rap album of all time. OF ALL TIME
Classic tech! Still love it.
[Intro]
What's sizzlin'?
Demons, angels,and civilians
Welcome to my purgatory party, baby
They say it ain't nothin' but farms where we from
They think we can't do no one harm where we from
Gorillas and killers and thugs from abyss
Tech N9ne make 'em breathe
Like what? Like this
Kansas City, wake up
Yo, like this
[Verse 1]
One, and then comes the two to the three and four
Two-thousand Tecca N9na is hardcore with a K
See me step up on the track like a thug
Make it pound at Westend then make a dub
To the homies in jail, when you making bail
Time to act an idiot, a lot not just a little bit
Watch when Kansas City hit, Tech N9ne's gonna spit it
You want this record? Cool, go get it
Hot when the flame's lit, Glock where the bane sits
Shock when the pain quits, Pac would've banged this
Instantaneous when I aim at the miscellaneous
Ask me ask-ask why-why I'm the strangest
Because nobody ever wanted me rappin'
But I knew within me I could make it happen
Flippin' hella different to get it crackin'
Never bitin' nothin' I was never jackin'
Millimeter spittin' rippin' up a show and
Got the people trippin' everywhere we go and
Now we gettin' you to know that misery is comin'
We were summoned now the haters runnin' when we gunnin'
BOW! Yo, you don't know!
That I'm 'bout to blow, K. C. M. O.! Better bang this!
People make their jokes and say we off to see the wizard
Well, me and Dorothy and Toto's on yo ass when you visit!
[Chorus]
It's alive! (Aw hell!)
It's alive! (God Dwamn!)
It's alive! (Odd male!)
It's alive! (I am!)
Been in the dark a minute but now I made it through it
This Kansas City I'mma show you how we do it
[Interlude/Outro]
We say walla Milli dollar, then break a lot a jaw
[Verse 2]
Who would bust like my style is ruffcut and it's
True hood stuff, bright hot, wild, mystic, plus mannish
Alien nation invasion, black, white and even Asian
Is gazin' at the raised, in misery face ravin', for the crazed haven
Six six triple eight, forty-six, ninety-nine three, we back
Sick with nickel plates, whorey chicks mighty mine be, we pack
Just when you know where I'm gonna be, I vanish
Step into my brain, got it so dark that you can't see, Goddammit
Your flows come in, your flows go out
My flows eternally comin' out your mouth
Your makers in, some haters doubt, and yes it's pitiful, not even my pinnacle
Better know when I bust, I can do it everyday with a mind full of lust
If you really must, get with a N9ne millimeter gun then trust
You'll get left in the dust, everybody better move
When I groove I'mma hit 'em with a bus
Anybody with a bigger mouth up in here better hush
[Chorus: Tech N9ne]
It's alive! (Aw hell!)
It's alive! (God Dwamn!)
It's alive! (Odd male!)
It's alive! (I am!)
Been in the dark a minute but now I made it through it
This Kansas City I'mma show you how we do it
[Interlude/Outro]
We say walla Milli dollar then break a lot a jaw
[Bridge]
Stop that!
Kansas City, that's where I really wanna be
Grime and gritty, back up when I throw that V
Up in the air, that's five seven R D V
And you know nare, that'll represent like me
[Verse 3: Tech N9ne]
Yo we did it Kansas City, yo we did it, like Biggie say
Much love my left mind said that Tech N9ne is Iggy J
You can find me off in Kansas City on Saturday at Maniax
Or at the Motel 6 laying up with two chicks the Lenny and Squiggy way
Or jack, tripper I'm Tech the rap
Ripper on Cognac, liquor I'm Tech the gat
Clicker I'm up on that, thicker than water track a whipper snap
Who's tryin' to bring Tony Kennedy, Del Shawn and Chipper back
Signin' off, rhymin' off, the wall constantly
Timin' off, never that, clever raps the comp can't be
Creepin', seepin' through the crevices and hella beefin'
Thinkin' they can stop the heart of Kansas City
But the heart of Kansas City is beatin'
[Chorus]
It's alive! (Aw hell!)
It's alive! (God Dwamn!)
It's alive! (Odd male!)
It's alive! (I am!)
Been in the dark a minute but now I made it through it
This Kansas City I'mma show you how we do it
[Interlude/Outro]
We say walla Milli dollar then break a lot of jaw

If you dont know what it was like to be in KC in the early 2000s when this shit was poppin you have no idea what you missed..
"They say it's nothing but farms where we're from."
They say we can't do any harm where we from!

Still still is one one fastest spits
I grew up in KC and remember hearing this on the radio. The old 95.7 and 103.3 lol if you know, you know😉
