It’s official, 2011 was the year of the N9ne. Capping off an already spectacular year, HipHopDX has named Tech N9ne 2011 Emcee Of The Year.

With the year winding down, HipHopDX has begun its annual Year End Awards which highlight everything 2011 had to offer hip hop. Giving Tech N9ne his due for a breakthrough year, the editors at HipHopDX have officially named the Kansas City King the Emcee Of The Year:

“Nobody in 2011 deserved to win this honor more than Kansas City veteran Tech N9ne. Tech released two acclaimed albums this year and appeared in several high-profile places, with All 6′s & 7′s proving to be his magnum opus. As Rap drifted towards limp lyricism and swagger over substance, Tecca Nina’s ‘chopping’ was a rude awakening that it should take precision to be an emcee. Meanwhile, the subject matter on Tech’s two releases, as well as profiled features with the likes of Lil Wayne, Jay Rock and Travis Barker was both personal and inspirational to his hundreds of thousands of ‘technicians’. With the traditional label system is in limbo, Tech N9ne’s 20 years of grinding have scraped the face off the industry as we knew it”

With the release of All 6′s And 7′s and Welcome To Strangeland, Tech N9ne demonstrated a work ethic unlike any other in 2011. The general of Strange Music now stands at the top of 2011 and looks to reach even more success in 2012. Congratulations to Tech N9ne for being named 2011 Emcee Of The Year!

‘Interlude’ Featuring Tech N9ne Named HipHopDX Collaboration Of The Year

It was the guest feature that opened the world up to Tech N9ne’s unique and relentless flow, the same that put Kansas City on the map.

Lil Wayne’s platinum selling Tha Carter IV boasted some of the biggest names in hip hop, but it was the ideal pairing of Tech N9ne and Andre 3000 on “Interlude” that stole the show. Breaking down the barriers that held him back for so long, Tech N9ne unleashed an impeccable delivery on listeners everywhere as Andre 3000 followed with a sophisticated and cool approach to contrast Tech’s combustible flow. This collaboration, pieced with Wayne’s “Intro” and “Outro”, was enough to earn HipHopDX‘s Year End Award for Collaboration Of The Year. This adds yet another accomplishment to Tech N9ne’s career in 2011, following his award for Emcee Of The Year. Put together, all of the guest appearances may have pushed this collaboration to the top, but it took a Kansas City King and an ATLien to truly make a classic.




Also, XXL has named Tech's verse on Worldwide Choppers as one of the top 10 best verses of 2011.

Not the best year for Tech, as far as putting out quality material goes, but he's definitely blown up on the independent scene this year and deserves the recognition....Congrats, to one of the greatests to ever do it.

[The_Offence]

i can't listen to this cats music at all, but white people seem to love his music for some odd reason.

[Chamillitary Click]

^I'm one of those white people.

Good to hear he won, but I don't know about emcee of the year lol..

Yeah I'll check those out. I really like some of his tracks, like the rain for instance, but overall I just haven't heard much that makes me want to listen to him a lot.

[Sccit]

yea, i agree to a certain extent...i'm not that keen on his new sound. but his OG shit is untouchable. u just gotta dig deeper. his first 4 albums are his best. "Calm Before The Storm", "The Worst" (or "The Worst 2K"), "Celcius", and "Anghellic". "Anghellic" is where he started sounding different, but that album still slaps. "Everready" is where he started gaining that commercial sound, which can get annoyin.

[Gamestarr]

lol @ this.

and I cant listen to him cause he has to scream 'CHEA' after every single bar.

Shit is annoying.

thats cuz u never heard his classic shit. it's like judging Kurupt off of his current work without ever hearing of his classics...check the songs i posted and see if he screams "chuuu".

[Fonkarround]

I liked 'Absolute Power'.  Pretty good album.

[i B 2 QUIK 2 c]

I wonder where Kendrick Lamar placed on this--dude straight bodied all of his appearances last year.  I demand a recount.


Peace!

I believe he was ranked #2.  But Section .80 was awarded album of the year by them, so that kinda makes up for it... Although my personal "Emcee of the year" was Kendrick also.

Yeah that track is amazing.

Yeah i find that annoying too, he over dose it at times..
 
 I've always liked Tech but never bought any of his albums until recently. I always liked his features and ability, love his appearances on yukmouth albums and etc. I bought the Collabos album he did "welcome to strange land" and bar a few tracks its dope as fuck. he is more lyrical than i ever realized.
 I was left some of his albums i must get around to checking them out.
