Kansas City’s Tech N9ne has earned another accolade. The independent emcee has earned a Gold certification this week, according to SoundScan. He has sold over 501,503 copies at the time the press release was disseminated.
The track, which was produced by Rune Rask & Troo.L.S., was released on Everready (The Religion) in 2006.
“It’s a wonderful accomplishment to have a Gold record,” Tech N9ne shared in a statement. “My fans are the reason this happened and I can’t thank them enough. To know that they love my music and continue to support what I create is truly a beautiful thing.”
This Gold plaque only adds to his sales totals. Tech N9ne has sold over 2 million albums independently and prides himself on not spending too much money on merketing.

Tech outdoes over half the clowns on TV with none of their resources, lol, I like that, Tech always sold a good amount of records but I find it amusing that as the mainstream artist sales have shrunken Tech’s stayed the same and are at this point better then alot of folks signed to major labels.
Nice!
Nice
Fuck yeah well deserved for the indie rap legend keep it goin tech fuck that nonsense pop rap trash.
Congrats to Tech for selling 2 million copies & Caribou Lou going Gold!

“…prides himself on not spending too much money on merketing.”
You must not pride yourself on proofreading Mr. Vasquez.
Who’s dis bitch, never heard of him…
then do some research
Think it’s funny how some of you morons think that Tech N9ne hasn’t accomplished much. You guys do realize that he runs an independent label with not much commercial support? That’s a big thing. What independent artist you know of that reached gold? And for the idiot who said Tech’s accomplishment isn’t nothing until he gpes platinum like 2pac, he used to be cool with 2pac so stop drinking that Haterade bitch. And like I said, he isn’t platinum because he doesn’t get much commercial support, stupid people.

That’s a big thing to do that well independently. What other independent artist you know of that reached gold (also besides possibly Mac Miller)??

Of course, he deserve it! For me, he’s the best and incredible rapper in the world after Eminem, my first favorite rapper! 😉
ae mano aquele la nao e o melhor, o melhor eh o Rakim 😉
we share the same views. have you checked out hopsin? hes my number 3
HAHAHAH FUCKING DX…. SPELLCHECK!?!?! TECHS NOT SPENDING TOO MUCH MONEY ON MERKETING? TECH MERKS HOES YEEEEEEEEEEE
Tech can thank Bars and dirty strippers for that song going anything
Lou’s fucking amazing but KC Tea is my shit.
old ass tech n9ne took 20 years to get his ass a gold plaque? lol. all these nerds keep saying he’s the best rapper in the world but are too lazy to buy his shit. y’all should be like the ymcmb supporters. once drake, tyga, nicki or wayne release a single or album, everyone gets that shit. once tech n9ne releases something, it takes him 6 years to go gold. fuck outta here! and this dude’s wack as fuck anyway.
u youngins need a lesson in manners…i guess this is the only place u can flap ur gator without gettin smacked the fuck up…ogs like tech made it possible for faggots like u to listen to rap i mean pop….FAGGOT
^^^^ his right tho if you think Tech is good why don’t you buy his albums then??? I see “real hip hop heads” on Tech’s dick everytime he’s about to drop an album but once it’s released it flops like a muthaphucka. Y’all should support this nigga if y’all like him.
Stop trying to play the homie like he’s not the most successful independent rapper ever.
stfu he has sold over 2 million records independently what have you done with your life.
This niguh went gold do you uneducated fools understand how much money that is independently. That’s a million dollars in his pocket and platinum in the indie world. Before Nicki, Drake or Wanye see a dime their label has to recope what they paid on marketing, radio and shipping of their music world wide. His sales are all profit so think about what your saying before you comment on things you don’t have a clue on.
I love you man… this mother fucker knows what he is talkin about! wish more of these dumbshits were like you
Oh, your album just went gold after 7 years?
Your grandchildren are going to love the new house.
It was his single, not album, he’s an independant, non mainstream rapper so even though he has more talent, he isnt as well known as artists like Lil Wayne
too much money on “merketing”……
cuz he merkin them niggas!!!!!!!!!!!!
good lookin tech, you deserve to go way further though
I cannot believe the amount of ridiculousness I’m reading on these comments.
Don’t you guys know that a snowball gets exponentially bigger as it rolls down a hill?
This is just the beginning and because the growth has been so solid all the way through, things are just going to keep going up for Strange.
So I think I’m going to apply for a job with HHDX. It seems that you really only need an 11th grade education, some knowledge of black music, and the ability to be able to type letters that form some words on the computer. Honestly at least just hire one editor. ONE. So you don’t look like complete dumbasses. Merketing…
dis song was released in 2006? goes gold in 2012? lmao… dese underground rappers are straight clowns. Lil Wayne goes 3x platinum instatly. dats why he is da GOAT and can outrap any rapper. swag
GOAT… haaa stfu. Read the other comments dipshit, no marketing, no video, not even a single off of the album. its a song that ppl listened to over and over again on youtube and went and bought on Itunes. Lil wayne has about 8 videos per album and not ONE is worthy of shit. Wayne can’t outrap weird al nigga stfu SWAG=FAG
So Icy Boy youre my king. I will suck your dick till I die.
errrrmageeeeeerd meeeerketiiiiing
Tech has more money than most of ur favorite mainstream rappers…he’s an independent artist which means he virtually keeps ALLLLL that money…niqqqqqaazzz
doesn’t mean he’s the richest though.
is Tech Nine sold out? LMAO
Success on your own terms >>>>>>>>>>>>> Being a sellout mainstream puppet
Who cares if a few people have more money, $$$ are not the meaning of life. Tech has made millions doing things exactly how he wants to do them & never had to answer to anybody but himself.
But since this basic simple simon ass generation is so obsessed with money, Tech’s net worth right now is at 8 Million, which is more then any of you will make working at Mcdonalds and counting Wayne’s money like its your own
Making $8 Million your own Way with no compromise >>>>>>> Making $100 Million at the cost of your integrity
This nigga went GOLD HAHAHAHAHA that ain’t shit go platinum nigga LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL

Interestingly, this song wasn’t even a single!
Never released as a single. No video. No radio play. It’s simply an album track that enough people downloaded via iTunes etc. that it went gold. That makes a pretty big accomplishment even sweeter.
your mom is suckng my dick like she’s a bitch from Busta Rhymes video…
WOW! This is quite a accomplishment! Very much deserved.
