Tech N9ne stopped by Shade 45’s Sway in the Morning to discuss a slew of topics including how he discovered Krizz Kaliko and Stevie Stone, as well as how he wants to sign Flawless. During the interview, he touched on his hope to record with Eminem on his next album, due in October, and how his previously missed opportunity to record with the Detroit, Michigan rapper is influencing his approach this time around.
“The Em track, I have another idea for my next album, late October, and if he has the time, I’ll send it to him, you know what I’m sizzlin’, via Royce [Da 5’9],” he said. “And we can try it again, because he agreed to do ‘So Lonely,’ but he was busy somewhere overseas. So I’m going to try again on this album. I’m going to try to get with him a lot earlier though, because I do my stuff on the fly like boom, I be in the studio, I write it in the studio, I record it and then I send it to the artist. So maybe I need to have a little bit more time.”
He also deemed Em “the best emcee,” praising his abilities for his intricate wordplay and ability to infuse his cuts with emotion. Tech said that he hopes to hop on a track with the Shady rapper to see how their worlds collide.
“It was Eminem. I think he makes everyone want to come with their A-game. 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.”
Watch the interview below, as well as Tech’s performance of “Badlands” with Mayday.

RELATED: Tech N9ne, Krizz Kaliko Talk The Making Of “Kill Sh*t” With Twista
All these rapper keep calling Eminem the best rapper, i bet you in a few year the history book going to be reading and saying that white boy is the best and the greatest rapper of all time, and the king of HipHop, i put my money on it
You ain’t got money to bet now and won’t in the future broke ass quit hating.
How is he hating?
Eminem is in the top 5 dead or alive and that just the facts, but the haters will hate…..just watch above
It’s one of those things.. Haters need a reason to hate. When every LEGENDARY rapper throws EM in their top 5 and a lot of elites say he’s the best.. You gotta realize your hate is just hate and dude is obviously a gift to Hip-Hop.. Best is an opinion but I think he deserves Top 5.. Favorite(#1) in my book
I don’t thing Em is the greatest and he isn’t my favorite. I think he is highly skilled and certainly deserves praise and accolades though. The reasons why people and dislike an artist has part to do with how much one is feeling and artist and their overall connection to the music. Not hating.(Hating and haters are two terms I despise) That being said, this collaboration would be good.
eminem is the greatest rapper of all time
A Tech/Em collab would be dope! They’re both great. Hope this happens soon…
Man I so hope for a collab the better the MC Eminem competes with the better Em gets so Tech we need this collab… Tech is one of the very few out now that COULD outdo Em.
Co-Sign^^^^
i also co-sign.
i also agree
word
“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”
To me it’s not about winnin it’s about makin great music Tech & Slim would be game changin especially if it’s real deep talk that’s what we need. Last decade N9ne & Shady haven’t left my top 10 & they never will their worth ethic is impeccable!
“With several different levels DEVIL WORSHIPPING horses heads, human sacrifices, cannablism, animals having sex with them”
-EMINEM
We see Y you like Eminem so much Tech N9ne… fellow satanists stick together!!!!!
You live in a fantasy world.
Despite your moronic comment I still head nodded while reading that verse lol!
why do you care who they worhsip.
I guess so compared to you’re wack/weirdo music ass…I’m sorry but what’s next coming from this fraud…Jay’s rich…FOH.
And fuck his fanbase to.
Keep Trolling, Trolling, Trolling….
Eminem isn’t even top 20. Too many white boys on this site. smh
LOL you’re an idiot if you think Em isn’t at least top 20. He’s probably one of the most technical MC’s to pick up the mic. Gtfo and go listen to your YMCMB.
The fact that people can omit Eminem from a top 20 rappers list just means their opinion in future topics does not matter whatsoever
I can’t hear you all the way back in 1800s?? It’s 2012, and people still using the race card?? Pathetic… You do know many black people consider Em the best too, right?? Theres a reason why he’s considered top 5–He’s good in every aspect of rapping.
I can tell you’ve NEVER been to a rap concert. From Wu-Tang to Nas, Jay and Eminem, the greater half is always white.
so much hate on here you fags stick to lil wayne then. Tech N9ne is one of a kind and a collab with Eminem would shit on any of your favorite Lil Wayne verses
All the hipster backpackers bout to throw a fit now. LOL. In my opinion, Em isn’t number #1, but he’s definitely good enough to be in my top 10.
Well that’s great as long as you recognize that Eminem is one of the Top 10 (at least) of all time.
Eminem is my favorite but Nas is better.
My favorite is Nas, but Em’s skillset is unparalleled.
HEEELL Y EEEZZZ NIKKKAS

Eminem and tech were on a track together before ”the anthem” from sway and tech’s album had a dope video for it as well
hahahahaha you dumbfuck!
I’m guessing Tech mean just him and Em not the 15 other rappers on that song.
“The Anthem” Sway & King Tech feat. RZA, Tech N9ne, Eminem, Xzibit, Pharoahe Monch, Kool G Rap, Jayo Felony, Chino XL & KRS-One

Their styles don’t mesh. Pass.
and that matters why? you wanna talk styles not meshing, there have been some fucked up collabos in the rap game. Talib w/ Gucci Mane, T.I./Mos Def/B.o.B, Nas/Rick Ross, Lil Wayne must’ve collaborated with at least a dozen good lyricists
but suddenly these two wouldn’t mesh well? Tech N9ne and Eminem of all people? nigga you silly
REALLY! please explain…
Imagine Tech n9ne on a song like music box…exactly
What? Is Music Box the blueprint for every Eminem song? Like somebody below me put… “”With several different levels DEVIL WORSHIPPING horses heads, human sacrifices, cannablism, animals having sex with them”
-EMINEM
We see Y you like Eminem so much Tech N9ne… fellow satanists stick together!!!!!”
^so in your dumb little word every line and rhyme scheme any rappers says is true. so i guess eminem worships god as well by your flawed logic? beecause he talks about god as well. how come you only want to point out the line about devils. your brain only lets you process information that confirms you preconceived bias.
At the beginning of “Still Don’t Give A Fuck” Em says he doesn’t worship the devil, it’s just an example of how Em can bring that sick shit out… Plus if you actually listen to the interview above with Tech he says he is sick of people saying he worships the devil. SO WHAT HAVE YOU GOTTA SAY NOW!? HUH? LITTLE FUCKING BITCH! PISSING ME THE FUCK OFF BY BEING SO SO SO FUCKING WRONG WHEN YOU THINK YOU’RE RIGHT! WHAT HAVE YOU GOTTA SAY NOW!!!!
yo this nigga talkin about Lil Wayne. I’m sure…. for some reasong he thinks Lil Wayne’s name is Eminem. cocain is a helluva drug. Eminem is the worst rapper ever. white ppl listen to his angry white music. Lil Wayne is the most lyrical rapper ever. and fuck TECH NINE. dat nigga is devil worshipper. Weezy killed him 2 times. 2 fucken times. swag
Weezy is lyrical???? WTF This is the last part of his verse from B.O.B.’s Strange Clouds:
My nigga, all day, all night, half pipe
I dive in that pussy, yeah I belly flop, I jackknife and shit
And tell my homies that I say its a party
Got that tech for technical difficulties
Im top dog, you top ramen, Im top dog
Piru, gangsters, outlaws
^^^^^^ IF that is in anyway lyrical to you…well i feel bad.
FUCK SWAG, I’M DOPE!
1st Troll YEAH!!
Icy is clearly a 15 year old… lil wayne has never killed anyone, ever. The closest he came was when he shot himself. Lil wayne is always gettin outshined whenever he collabs with ANYONE. Tech used him cus he knows dumb shits like you listen to him so maybe he can convert several thousands to the real side of hip-hop.
dude ^ hahahahahahahahahahahaha funniest joke i’m pretty sure i ever heard. Lil wayne has no substance, he is just another fucking dumbass. Tech N9ne gives you substance and so much more,
both of them will be dope on a track, cant wait
Most overused words

lame is another one
stop doing this again ironically it’s getting overused.
overrated
underrated
Most overused and played out name
“Anonymous” Give a name pussy
classic
Why if they give a name can you suddenly kick their ass?
i feel this collab what i dont get it is why Eminem doesnt reach out to underground rappers more like,AOTP,Hopsin,Murs,Immortal Technique,Diabolic,Afu-Ra,Chino Xl etc some dudes in the underground can make songs and still keep it lyrical plus with Em promotion they could make lyrics cool again
I thought thats what he was doing by signing Slaughterhouse??
Why doesn’t M&M reach out to underground artists? He’s afraid they’ll expose him for the fake, pop-star, lipstick and eyeshadow wearing mtv fuckboy that he is. Hi my name is chika chika ~change the station~
Danm Tech what happen to you? He is such a nut hugger now of days he’s always trying to kiss someones ass like, Lil Wayne, Jay-Z, and Kanye. Now he is back to talking about Eminem how many times have we heard they were suppose to make a song together, i dont see it happening.
tech has always praised other rappers he likes , unlike some artists who only concern themselves and never risk praising another artist
it’s called being humble and loving the hoip-hop culture, you obnoxious moron. nuthugger… what, you’re too cool for bigging up emcees?
Eminem and Tech N9ne are my favorite and 2nd favorite rappers respectively. You can see how excited I am for this to happen. Tech better get the track done and send it to Royce so Em can have a few months to do the track. This better happen.
rather hear a tech n9ne and brotha lynch hung collabo album
hellllll yeah…..that would be the best album ever.
Everybody down here is stroking off with their own egos… Just shut the hell up and let the artists do their things. Worry about your own lives for once and just enjoy the fucking music.
It’s about time for a collaboration! I wish they’d do more together. Em needs to get out more.
lol you sound like Em’s concerned Mother.
Black people love Jesus. Therefore black people are fucking stupid and don’t understand and thus fear “satan”. Neither are real so smarten up. Dumb nigs.
I will pray for you homie, cause you are the one who must smarten up my brother. N just FYI, like my pastor says, you better believe in Satan, because he believes in you, and with that comment you played right into his hands my brother. PEACE to you kid.
Every self righteous religious asshole says “I’ll pray for you”. Fuck off, nobody needs your prayers. They call if faith and not fact for a reason homie. Just like you and I, your pastor doesn’t know if its all real, he just has FAITH.
Cant wait to hear it, hopefully it really happens this time lol
All this talk about the Tech and Em collab I figured I’d change it up and state that the Mayday album is a classic for those that didn’t get a chance to peep that shit yet, you wont be needing that skip button, at least I didn’t. Real Hip-Hop shit.
It was very good,
Holding off on calling it a classic
Usually skip Hardcore Bitches
NEW MC EIHT WHERE WE GO 2012
I’d rather hear Eminem and Nas do a track. Or another Em and Jay Z. More exciting for my ears.
The two most talented rappers of all time (not saying Tech is the best because his albums/consistency havent been good enough to me but that doesnt make him less talented) could potentially make one of the best tracks ever, however because Tech and Em can be corny sometimes I have a feeling it will be corny.
“and that matters why?”
Most of those examples you gave were probably arranged by the label. Here, Tech is specifically looking to reach out to Eminem. Never mind their target demographics are night and day.
yeah right, there’s no way to describe Eminem’s “target demographic”. He attracts the mainstream crowd, the teenage girls, the hip-hop heads who crave for lyricism, and some underground hipsters even. there is a common ground for Tech n9ne and Eminem fandom, if not people wouldn’t be clamoring for a fucking collab for MONTHS now.
Now if he said he was reaching out to DMX, that might be a different story. Their styles could mesh well.
DUMBFUCK!!!
I don’t even mess with Tech, out here in Denver WAY TOO many wierdos listen to cuzo so I’ve never really bothered, but i agree with the dude below me, something just tells me this collab would be on another level of corny.
HEEELL Y EEEZZZ NIKKKAS

The only old MC that is still hot is Jay Z. Period.
No, not period. Thats just your opinion and its not the word of god
Jay-Z? dude fell off after the black album. The only decent joint he dropped since was American gangster, which is a concept album.
“which is a concept” why the hell did you put that at the end like that’s the reason that it’s a good album!? or none of us knew that it was a concept album!?
can you not read between the lines, or do i need to spell it out for you. It only worked because it was a concept album, i.e. because it provided a permanent structure to work in. He said himself that he did it to particular scenes. Let him loose on his own, dude just raps about repetitive nonsense. that clear enough for you this time?
yeah thanks, I was pissed off when I replied the first time…
Nah sir, it’d have to be Nasir
who’s flawless?
The Anti-Eminem stans creep out the woodwork everytime someone gives this guy praise, lol
Funny story tho I remember chillin with one of my boys 2-3 years ago, dude hated eminem and blah blah blah whatever, his favorite MC is kool g rap, I played him the vlad tv clip of G rap saying Em was in the top 5, dude looked like someone killed his puppy while he was watching it, lol
good story bro…made me laugh
wow, very funny story, u are right, when top rappers or old Gs praise eminem, the haterz look confused and retarded
NEW MC EIHT WHERE WE GO 2012 FIRE
off the which way iz west album
Ooooh man Eminem said he would do “So Lonely” but couldn’t in the end because he was out of the country!?! It would of been dope as fuck if he did that.
Yeah, Em was suppose to do that “Welcome to my World “Joint with Tech & Lynch from Everready also
On some real when you really check it. . . .
“EMINEM” IS the greatest Rapper alive. Most of these dudes can come next to “EM” on ah’ Track, but they can’t outdo him. You always wanna’ hear what “EMINEM” says next.
^ no it is because of stans like yourself everyone says Em killed the track and what not….even if another rapper kills Em on his track y’all will never accept it….FOH
em holds his own and everyone including your favortie rapper knows that. “remember me” wit sticky fingerz is one of few tracks where i can say em got bodied on his own shit
tech and krayzie bone should do more shit together. personally i don’t like Em but understand he does have talent i just don’t feel it and i’m not into his persona.I feel his “emotion” is real corny and is really only in emphasising frustration in the last word of a bar. people like krayzie bone and tech can do it all. Singing Rapping hooks Freestyle awesome live performances on lower budgets. They are better rappers in my opinion
Some of the most talented rappers aren’t mainstream or anymore (bone thugs)
whoever said the only old artist thats still hot is jay-z must be brainwashed jay-z steals so many lyrics, and is probably the biggest illuminati puppet in the rap game… but tech n9ne and eminem would be dope
Well Tech’s Working On His Album and Em’s Working On His Next So I Hope To See Both These Legends On A Track
“there’s no way to describe Eminem’s “target demographic”
I already did lol Let me make it easier for you. Eminem = The MTV Crowd. Tech Nine = The underground crowd. While on paper it might seem ridiculously obvious for them to do a song together, the fact is Em already passed the first time.
ok the mtv crowd loves eminem but its not his only demographic…. hip hop heads love him too i’ve never seen a real head who, if they didnt particularly enjoy the music for its pop appeal or whatever, at least respect the lyricism. the two exceptions i can think of were both racists
Life aint that black & white man, you sound like an idiot
I know lots of cats who like Em that are nowhere near todays MTV crowd, and I also see alot of trendy teenagers bumping Tech N9ne shit.
People like you just generalize and dont know what your talking about
^nailed it
niggas love to generalize. “let me make it easier for you” that’s your problem right there
tech, been a fan since calm befor the storm, and all i got to say is i wasnt feeling all 6’s and 7’s to much or klusterfuck and strangeland was ok. but for real for real please stop slurping eminems nut sack, like you already have a huge white fan base, you can stop giving so much praise to the white man, slaverys over, we be free.
man, eminem is good, naw hes a great rapper. aint like tech is the first mc to point it out. hes givin credit where he feels is due. why cant ya just keep it at that? draggin slavery in it and shit? wtf aint nothin to do with race, jus two “greats” collabin on a song. not if, but when that track drop, you know its gonna be sick hommie
no i dont care about race, but techs been on eminems dick for years now and im sick of it. eminems ok but most of his albums are garbage and the majority of it is stan music. tech used to be dope now he’s turning into some garbage ass old slave who sucks up to every white artist who comes out, its sad and embarrasing.
name one other white artist… yelawolf? is that it? lmao dude spits with the stamina of the best of em and deserved to be on world wide choppers. ignorance makes it hard to see, huh?

It’s Knock Madness by the way
didnt they do a collab with rza em tech n9ne from the sway freestyle albums
That was just mixed together by DJ Revolution, they didnt actually do them verses with the intention of having them put together. Tech is talking bout an actual song with just them on it
No It’s an actual track “PRODUCED” by DJ Revolution off Sway & King Tech album This or That

None of those guys were together in the studio making that song homie, Sway & Tech just took a bunch of freestyles from their “Wake Up Show” archives and had Rev mix them together and called it a song.
tech and lil wyte are the best 2 independent rappers in the game id rather here those 2 on a track than em and that new lil wyte album is hardcore son!
LOL @ Lil Wyte
I agree, That new lil Wyte is awesome
Eminem is the best Rapper. Tech agrees and so does Kanye. It would be wise for us to follow. I love Heavy Metal by the way. But Em is dope. Smoke a blunt to his 2nd LP. Hells yeah. Navajo out!

Tech is a rapper who continually puts out music on a regular basis. Eminem takes forever to put out an album. If there was a greatest hits album with just 18 tracks it would be way easier to pick eminems then techs because he continually moves forward while Eminem takes his damn time. As a fan of both, Tech will always be better in my eyes because just like with biggie and pac one has way more hot records then the other. Who cares if em is considered more lyrical Tech continued to support his fans.
Dude, you know why he takes his time? He has a family…he now owns slaughterhouse (Working on their album) then working on 50s, and yelawolf. Dude’s busy as hell.
Tech has a family and artists under his label that he works with too. Techs always busy hes always touring and working on music. Check out his touring schedules for the last 2 years. The point was he doesnt try to create a perfect album like Em he just makes music and wether its perfect or not his fans keep getting more music.
here’s a question for ya, when’s the last time Eminem dropped a mixtape? a while ago. That’s all Tech n9ne does. he drops albums and EPs relentlessly. Eminem can’t really do that, cause he’s high end mainstream and he has huge labels to answer to.
Sorry if you’re impatient over Eminem dropping things, guess it shows the kind of entitled fan you are… Tech constantly drops shit because he’s INDEPENDENT, that’s his strength. Eminem is anything but independent
Haha, he didn’t mention Nas
eminem is the best white rapper NOT the best rapper!!!!!
okay… it’s all about opinion and that’s yours, move on.
IT’S TRUE, IT’S TRUE… IT’S DAMN TRUE… EMINEM IS “THE BEST RAPPER ALIVE” SINCE “THE BEST RAPPER DIED” ON SEPTEMBER 13TH 1996…. Man, I Would’ve LOVED To See The Both Of Them On A REAL TRACK TOGETHER!!!
TWISTA, EMINEM, TECH N9NE on one track would be FIRE!
TWISTA, EMINEM, TECH N9NE on one track would be FIRE!
“I know lots of cats who like Em that are nowhere near todays MTV crowd”
Sure you do. And all the cars driving down the street are bumpin Em right now. GTF outta here, lame. Jay has the same problem. You won’t find a car in a ten block stretch playing his music. That’s because the so called true hip hop heads rebel againsn’t anything mainstream. It’s not the perfect fit alot want it to be, even though if Lil Wayne can work with Tech, I’m sure at some point Em could change his mind.
“ok the mtv crowd loves eminem but its not his only demographic”
His main demographic. The people who respect lyrical content aren’t necessarily the one’s who buy mainstream albums. How many people on here blast Em saying how his music is shit now, yet he still sells millions. That tells me the MTV crowd is still sold on this guy. That all said, I never said a Tech collabo would be bad. I just think their styles wouldn’t mesh well. Can you imagine Em using accents while Tech spits fire?
Exactly. Let it be known this guy’s main crowd are white suburban kids that watch MTV black kids are not into him that much they love bitch ass YMCMB more.
em doesnt use accents anymore, that was only relapse when he was hooked on drugs… I think they will BOTH kill it
I knew from the first time this nigga loves Eminem’s dick.
^^^^
Fake.
maybe he wants him to cum get on his track… no homo
A track with Tech9ne should be sick!!
i love ur show
im really proud to be a fan of tech and em !
