Tech N9ne is the s**t. I have Anghellic, Absolute Power, Everready, and Killer. Can't wait to buy (no money) K.O.D. Honestly, in my opinion, he's one of the best rappers, with original lyrics, beats, rhymes, and can spit crazy fast. I've listened to his stuff for about 7 years (the release of Anghellic, his 3rd album in 2001) and it's amazing. Also, x2 about the localness to celeb status. I listened to him back then when he had concerts 6 miles down the road in little towns of 5-7k people. It's crazy to see his popularity now. In Anghellic a song called "Here I come", has the lyrics blair witch raves in the woods up in Cameron. Cameron is 15 miles from me, 5k people, and my town is only 2k people. It's just awesome to see his success and see that other people are fans.
All in all, anyone who likes rap/hip-hop should definitely check out Anghellic. It's in my opinion the best album, and Killer the worst.
