What do you mean he has no flow? He's mad on his songs. His last 2 albums were dope.

Wasn't worth it to me. They just redid the hook. Those two having verses would have been sick

Tech's verses are different as well I'm sure. The 1st one is at least, in the remix he starts off by mentioning 2Pac and Jesus..

EDIT: I do agree with you though that it would've been much better with verses from the other 2, was kinda disappointed to find they didn't after seeing the title

Exactly! Immortal may come off as a kook on some of his records but when you watch him in a interview he comes off as more intelligent and speaks on things from a more practical point of view. Even in this very essay he wrote he just put things into perspective about osama and how his supposed death will affect our future, he asked legitimate questions and did all of that without going into flat-out left-field conspiracies.

He doesn't believe everything he says in a record. I think most of it is meant just to try to get people to think about things a different way. He's just throwing ideas out there.

Tech's music is best understand when you listen to Caught In A Hustle.  Plus, if you read his interviews you understand his actions and why he writes the way he does.
