Tech N9ne has wanted to work with Eminem for years.
In 2011, Tech told HipHopDX that Eminem was supposed to be featured on a track titled “So Lonely” off of his All 6’s and 7’s album.
“That song was originally intended for me and Eminem,” he said to HHDX at the time. “Nobody’s on our lyrical game. So when Em didn’t have enough time to do it, I put the song to the side.”
Tech wasn’t able to land his dream feature for his follow-up album, Something Else, either.
Last year, the Kansas City, Missouri emcee may have foreshadowed the feature when he told XXL that he would eventually collaborate with Dr. Dre and Eminem.
“I obviously see what Eminem and [Dr.] Dre and them be doing because I want my shit to measure up to that,” he said at the time. “I feel like that’s my lane. I feel like that’s where I should be doing music at that level. Eventually, I’ma be doing music with them niggas. Straight up. Even if it’s just a collabo, you know what I am saying? ‘Cause I know I am dope enough to do it. I know I got a lot of substance, motherfucker. There’s nobody that sounds like me. I met all the qualifications.”
Now, it appears Tech N9ne’s long-gestating collaboration with Eminem is on the way.
On Thursday (April 2), Tech revealed to Sway on Sway in the Morning, that his fifteenth studio album, Special Effects, will feature Eminem for the song “Speedom (Worldwide Choppers 2)” as well as Krizz Kaliko.
Tech also confirmed the news via Twitter, Instagram and his Strange Music website.
Sway will debut the song on his Sirius XM Sway in the Morning broadcast on April 20.
Tech N9ne’s tweet and Instagram post about his Eminem collaboration are as follows:
For more Tech N9ne coverage, watch the following DX Daily:
1. they already have a song called “The Anthem” with RZA and other artists on the beat too
2. Who cares?
1. “The Anthem” is not a real collabo just a bunch of freestyle verses that people spit on the wake up show that King Tech mixed together.
2. Tech N9ne is one of the highest selling Indy rappers in the game and Em’s last solo record sold double platinum so regardless of what you think a lot of people will probably care.
LOL. Wannabe hiphop artist ended up crawling to a pop sellout.
Tech N9ne is not a wannabee hip-hop artist, he IS a hip-hop artist. Eminem is not a pop sellout and nobody crawled to anyone.
Your insane if you think Tech N9ne is a “wannabe hiphop artist” get the fuck out of here.
well said don tech goes alot harder than alot of these rappers he aint no wanabe rapper he made his own lane
for God’s sake, just shut up.
Dan first of all you need to pull your head out of your ass. Next you should make a fucking assessment you my friend sound like a fucking retard probably using a PC at some fucking internet cafe get a fucking life guy and get the fuck out with your lil bitch ass comments boy. Thirdly and lastly you should kick your own ass every morning when you wake up because you so fucked.
Well, it’s about time!
I’ll check this out regardless. People talk shit about tech, and even though I’m dont listen to him as much, I respect his hustle. Strange music runs a tight ship. They understand its all about touring and merchandising. I’ve been to lots of hiphop shows and 80% of them the artists are either hammered, late, or just unorganized; come on late, short sets, lots of filler – basically lackluster shows. Tech is on when he says, the shows end when they say. sets arent cut short. Much respect to Strange music.
YYYYYYYYYEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I dont care what you think I gotta say Thank You Jesus!
dido!!!!!
wow this feature is gonna be dope and fuckin lyrical bananzaa. been too long and its good to see EM working with REAL artists now, hopefully that will translate to some dope hiphop features on his next album whenever that drops.
lemme guess, they’re going to rap 1000 mph while saying nothing at all besides how “lyrical” they are. FOH! nothing but nerd rap. drake slays these old, washed up fools in his sleep.
Wrong. They’ll spit nothing but dope lyrics on a dope track. Drake is never gonna slay anyone ever with those weak ass simplistc repeated lyrics abut money. He’ll get slaughtered (also, Em and Tech aren’t old washed up fools).
Fake as fool you you must be fuckin retarded. Wait what? Drake? Ahahahah hell no!
Are you an idiot? Drake? Who says Nigga every 5 seconds and has no lyrical talent at all other than being sad when a bitch kicked him to the curb? Have you ever actually listened to their lyrics? Like really bro, you’re a prime example of why real rap/hiphop is dead as fuck.
Ahahahahaaa Drake OMFG someone needs to slap the stupid off of you guy. Tech Ft. Em this shit is gonna be sick as fuck and you my friend can take ur wannabe bigtime Drake shit and shove it fool…
looks i angered a bunch of nerds, and the name drake makes their blood boil. drizzy drake puts out much better music than old ass tech n9ne and eminem.
You can like who you like but any real hip hop head has an idea of historical artists in the genre and a level to measure all future music and artists by. Saying Drake is the best is like saying Justin Bieber kills it in pop and Michael Jackson sucked or Nickelback kicks ass but the Beatles were washed up..
Aubrey’s wack ass music is not better than Tech or Eminem’s. FOH with that bullshit. You’re so obessed with Aubrey and Eminem. You see or hear their names and you get a hard on. You’re the nerd here.
I never bought a tech9 album in my life, but everything that I own that he shows upon is nice as fuck. Ima have to collect all his records eventually.
Dream come true for white people. You pasty motherfuckers love these two for w/e reason
lol I clicked this to laugh at the dick riding white boys.
I’m white i got a good kick out of it.. we can’t help we like good rap music, try elevating yourself to our level of consciences.. shit was still funny tho
@haha na brooo dey in love with da coco
no one cares bout an Eminem feature these days he was on fire early 2000’s these days he squeezes so many words n sounds so off beat it’s not even dope to hear
LMAO, I think tec has a million times the skill of ICP but they all have the same fans, he paints his face like them, makes subliminal music like them and them and esham are fathers to his style. It will just be speed rap with some lyrics but zero content. Eminem and tec are very alike now, eminem’s music at one time had lots of content, story telling, was within the beat and even could do a hook sometimes but now its just a mash up
TECH’n’em speedom I’ve waited. So long. To hear two of the greats spit WWC2 I missed Twista. And Rittz
he says this every album
krizz kalico is terrible please keep him away from you tech
I HOPE THEY GOT CONTENT TO RAP ABOUT… I DONT WANT THESE 2 NIGGAS JUST RAPPING ABOUT RANDOM SHIT. WE KNOW THEY DOPE LYRICALLY BUT PUT IT TO USE
