whats your thoughts on this, pretty fucked up if it's true Rakim did a no show because he had to open for Tech


Quote
[Intro]
I know y'all don't see me on TV
Or hear me on the radio
But you industry brats
Better check Billboard and Pollstar
Before y'all get to cryin
About who get seniority at these shows
Especially when compared to me
Y'all aint shit on stage

[Hook]
I hit the stage
Grab the mic and blow 'em all away (I blow 'em all away)
(Superstars), But they know I blow 'em all away, Hey

[Verse 1]
The gig is over, The gig is over (Bitty bye-bye)
The gig is over, The gig is over (When A play)
The kid is older and gettin colder (Many fly by)
But his will hold ya, So listen closer to (A-A)-R-O-N
They dissin and twistin my name
Because Aaron is scarin these glitz spittin pricks in the game
Hit with this gift, Everybody get a whiff of this script and it's pain
Gotta talk about the people with a attitude
Hiss me and slipped in my lane
I've been wreckin crowds for a long second now
Got 'em guessin how Tech is blessed
And yes, The best in-town rep
On the real, I keep it trill
And when I spit, I aint spillin about my million
It's the feelin that you get with this underground headliner
Mainstream ignored a bro
And they be petty, So jealousy is sure to show
But they rich and got more to blow
And everything's affordable
But they gotta go before me
Because their stage show is horrible

[Hook]
I hit the stage
Grab the mic and blow 'em all away (I blow 'em all away)
(Superstars), But they know I blow 'em all away, Hey
They may be platinum
But they know I blow 'em all away (I blow 'em all away)
(Superstars), But they know I blow 'em all away, Hey

Why you do me like that girl?
You know I love your mama

[Verse 2]
I just wanted to have a bite with her... or somethin
Didn't go get up on that show to fight with her... or nothin
It was Keyshia Cole, Eric Benét, Gorilla Zoe, Tech N9na and T.I.
But Keyshia was actin Bia-Bia
Why she actin like a (what?), like a (what?)
She aint know I grab the mic and light it (up), light it (up)
She say, "She don't know me"
But I'm the number one Independent in the country
Man, She the only one actin funky
And the people at the Summer Jam, They want me
She say, "She aint goin on before somebody that's local"
And she went postal and loco
Sayin, "Her not closin, Is a no-go"
Down talked me real low though
About how she got more doe and just did a TV promo
No show better than the Mo. bro with the S & M logo
Damn baby, My success would sit in your favor
Slam the N9na Tech before considerin the data
Fans waited, So we went, So she'd get it for later
But Frankie said, "Excuse my daughter, She's a bit of a hater"
Dwamn!

[Hook]
I hit the stage
Grab the mic and blow 'em all away (I blow 'em all away)
(Superstars), But they know I blow 'em all away, Hey
They may be platinum
But they know I blow 'em all away (I blow 'em all away)
(Superstars), But they know I blow 'em all away, Hey

[Verse 3]
Aye, Aye, Check it
I understand seniority
But in this case, On this show, I'm a top priority
In Lawrence, Your minority and I'm the majoriry
Check it, I was young and broke
But I'd fetch it, If it was freshest
Shovel snow for the Eric B. and Rakim record
Promoters called us and said,
"We got this show and want you to close us"
Ghostface and Brother Ali, Rakim with a band, It's so tough
We couldn't wait to see Rakim rock
But he never ever showed up
He swole up cause he didn't wanna go up before us
Man, What's wrong with these people?
Think the world gotta kiss their asses
500 capacity but you wanna get 200 passes
Thought it was about gouda
40 Water told me,
"N9na, Get ya cabbage, Stay savage and ravage the average"
Y'all better hope radio and video
Keep me from slithering... into they circle
I'll change it, That's why they shivering
Rakim the God? He just miss the king's delivering
Cause they know they'll fall
And I'll blow them all to smithereens

[Hook]
I hit the stage
Grab the mic and blow 'em all away (I blow 'em all away)
(Superstars), But they know I blow 'em all away, Hey
They may be platinum
But they know I blow 'em all away (I blow 'em all away)
(Superstars), But they know I blow 'em all away, Hey

[Outro]
Real, Real spill, Yeah
Baby girl,
I know I aint the only one that know you could be bitchy
You know what I'm sizzlin?
Ol' boy,
I know I aint the only one that know you could be bitchy
Do your research before you down somebody else

Get off your high horse
Keyshia Cole, Get off your high horse
Rakim, Get off your high horse
Industry, Get off your high horse
Yeah

Ya, least Tech isnt dissin for no reason like most people, its really more like callin them out then a staright up diss. And anyone who listen to Techs music knows hes a sensitive dude and takes shit like this really personally.

This is one of my favorite tracks on the album (and one of only two that is just Tech solo).  Tech kills it, and I love the chorus.

To a degree, I can understand Rakim taking exception to opening for Tech.  But Keyshia?  I don't know...is she even that big, really?  Maybe it's just the circle I travel in, but I was the only one that'd ever even heard of her.

2 platinum albums and 1 gold (which has sold 865k)

 Alright.  That's a fair point.  It's probably mostly just my circle then.  They don't listen to much R n' B.  And really, neither do I.  I was familiar with Keyshia Cole though.  I actually think she's got a great voice.  But her style of music just isn't really "my cup of tea."  To one degree or another, I respect any artist that can obtain that level of success.  And in her case, you can tell there's definitely talent behind it too, rather than just gimmick.  But to mention her in the same breath as Rakim, I think is a little much.  At least, at this point in her career.  Rakim is generally regarded as a legend by most, and has been around for years and years.  So, when he doesn't want to open for a newer artist, I tend to be a little more sympathetic.  Still, time marches on and Tech N9ne is a beast.  His live shows are amazing.  I had a chance to catch one in Columbia, Missouri a few years ago, and it was awesome.

I mean really, Keyshia Cole or Rakim opening up for a dude that is barely known outside the internet? That's like George Foreman vs Tyson being the undercard for a Jose Canseco vs Ronnie the limo driver fight. I'da smacked the promoter and my manager for even making me such an insulting offer

Tech actually has a very big following outside of the Net. He tours a ridiculous amount of days a year so he's constantly doing live shows across the country.

I don't see this whole thing as much as a diss as it is Tech airing out his frustrations. The guy works his ass off. He throws some live-ass shows and stays putting out new shit. On that level, I could see how someone downplaying him as being just a "local rapper" would piss him off.

 I agree with what you're saying here.  I don't feel like Tech was really going hard against Keyshia or Rakim.  I think this is more saying that he thinks if someone agrees to do a live appearance, they should honor the agreement.  And I do think that Tech does feel a little hurt of insulted that some want to marginalize him as a "local rapper," when he puts in so much work.  I don't think you could find a harder worker in the industry right now, than Tech N9ne. At the same time, in trying t play Devil's Advocate, I can see how Rakim might feel like he shouldn't have to open for a newer artist.  Rakim has put in so much work over the years, you could argue that he's almost earned the right to be like that a little bit.

With the Keyshai Cole concert T.I. performed before Tech also I think and didn't care! Tech didn't give a fuck when he went on he said in an interview on this matter that he was scheduled to perform later in the show cause it had to be dark due to the light show that goes on during his set. Plus this concert was in KC Techs home town!! And Rakim wasn't opening for Tech, Ghostface and Brother Ali were playin also, the promoters are the ones that wanted him to close up the show!

Yeah, I actually felt like "How you gonna put Rakim on blast" when I heard that record and still feel that way but in the same situation, Tech shouldn't have to sugarcoat his feelings.

The thing is, with the music industry pushing the "panic" button with downloading and the recession and what have you, Tech is really one of the few artists who has his business game down. In the span of less than two years, he's put out three albums (one of them a double album). His albums get new release mentions in the weekly electronic store flyers right next to the major label product and in some cases, there's free exclusive shit like the "Killer" T-shirt that came with the album. When it comes to touring, he jumps on whatever shit he can get and even when certain city's radio don't give him the invite to "Summer Jam", he still manages to come through. There's few other artists, even on a major label level, that can say the same.

nah dont get it twisted tech is one of the most known outta the net
he pretty much stays on the road for the entire (international and national)
but yeah this was jus him gettin it off his chest vs a real diss.  if you know tech's muzik, hes a emotional typa rapper and he lets off his steam in his muzik as he has done in many traxx that have turned out to be some of his best.
he ripped don juan to shreds, and some others, but thats jus him doin his muzik in that way.
and thats one good thing about tech he doesnt look for promo in a way to diss muffuccaz

R&B music is for real men who are not fake & front like they are too hard for good R&B music.there are too many people who think it cool to be hard all the time & that is some fake ass shit.
