Tech N9ne, who released his Therapy Sessions With Ross Robinson EP this month, recently spoke with hotnewhiphop.com about his hopes for working with Eminem.
“I’d like to work with Eminem,” N9ne said during the interview. “Just me and him on a song, ’cause I think he’s one of the dopest rappers out there, and I wanna hear how I sound next to one of the dopest motherfuckers I’ve heard. I’ve worked with some of his homies, Proof, Slaughterhouse, D12, all of ’em, he’s the only one left. Even Yelawolf. I worked with all them mothafuckers. He’s the only one left.”
This echoes similar sentiments Tech N9ne had in 2012.
“I think [Eminem] makes everyone want to come with their A-game,” Tech said in a 2012 interview with Shade 45. “He’s an elite emcee. We are also. That’s one of the qualifications you have to have for Strange Music. I love extreme lyricists. And to me, he’s the extreme lyricist when it comes to wordplay and all of that, emotion and everything. A lot of people just want to hear us on a track to hear who would win. I just want to see how I sound next to who I deem the best rapper.”
Eminem was reportedly set to be on Tech N9ne’s “So Lonely” off All 6’s & 7’s. However, the collaboration did not come to fruition.
This year, Tech N9ne has continued to praise Eminem’s efforts, specifically when he’s been asked about “Rap God.”
“Yes, I heard ‘Rap God,'” Tech N9ne said during a recent interview with nehip-hop.com. “Everybody want to know what I think. I think he’s rapping his ass off. That’s what I think. Somebody said it makes me want to hit the pad harder. I’m like, ‘I always hit the pad hard.’ But that [song], I was smiling, so it was a good thing. I listened to it twice.”
Tech N9ne’s Therapy Sessions With Ross Robinson EP landed at #32 on the Billboard Top 200 albums chart in its first week. The project features “Public School,” a song that Tech recently spoke with HipHopDX about.
“It’s a song that’s bitter about my education back then,”Tech N9ne said during an exclusive interview with HipHopDX. “Now keep in mind that I’m the #1 independent rapper, they say. So I did this with the education I have, business savvy and everything. But I’m just thinking, what would I have been with a bit more information? I could talk to way more people. When I went to France, I couldn’t speak. Motherfuckers had French in school. I didn’t have it. They rather give me an hour and something in gym. I skipped it and fucked. I did, in the hallways, in the little stairwells. I skipped it, every day and fucked. I could have been doing other things, and that’s what ‘Public School’ is about, is me being bitter about some of my teachers, because education is the key to everything, to unlock any door. That’s what I think.”

Level 2 and 3 rappers generally have fans who think they’re on the level of real rappers (Number 1) but are clearly misguided.
Lupe should be level 3 according to your criteria. Ras is more of a 2 and Taleb Kweli and Pharoahe Monch are criminally missing from the 1 list. Everybody you mentioned is nice overall tho.

Will not happen, Tech would destroy Eminem.
Destroy my ass! Idiot!
tech been kissing ems ass for years now.
dude, it’s not like an Wayne/drake or waka/gucci. it’s more like all-star athletes who want to earn an ring together by collabing and making a dope track.
If the N9ne wants to work with someone, out of respect, then what’s the problem?
If he’s asked about it by the media, every other day, then he’s going to answer their questions, and do so truthfully. That should be respected.
BIGGEST em fan and I cant fucking understand why he doesnt collab with crazy lyricists but hell instantly give pop singers a spot to lay a hook i looove mmlp2 but cmon dawg where were the fuckin rappers

Em doesn’t ever really give fans what they want. Blowing off Tech for the last few years being a prime example. When you’re that big you can make time and get something done if you want it done. Recovery and MMLP2 both had a handful of throwaway tracks and guest spots that were laughable. It gets a pass his first few albums where he’s getting his angst out, but at a certain point an artist needs to listen to his constituency.
Interscope doesn’t want or need a Tech Nine collabo. Get this through your weird indie head.
“I think [Eminem] makes everyone want to come with their A-game,”. No shit. Ask Jay-z, Bank$,Xzibit, DMX,Busta Rhymes, and every other dope emcee/rapper/lyricist.

tech whine is the most desperate rapper out.
“If he’s asked about it by the media, every other day, then he’s going to answer their questions, and do so truthfully. That should be respected”
So TMZ follows him around and asks when he’s going to work with Eminem? lol Ok. Tech is obssessed with him, and constantly dreams about this phantom collaboration. With the right beat it might work, but obviously Em has no interest or else he would have found a way to get in touch with Tech or his people and make it happen.
keep commenting like you know what you’re talking about fuck boi
lol dude first off em was supposed to do a song with tech twice so far. my world, but proof died around that time so it didnt happen. and he’s a busy dude, he was supposed to be on so lonely but he couldnt get his verse in time. plus not to mention em’s douche manager. you gotta think how em sells the fuck out of songs so his douche manager doesn’t let everyone collab with him
How does Em’s cock tastes, Tech???
People really cant distinguish “dick riding” from paying respect and giving homage. Tech’s obsessed with him? It’s called being a fan, and Em has a lot of them if you weren’t aware.
