Tech N9ne – Something Else

    ArasiaGraham7588 mins

    If someone merged almost every musical genre and trapped them in a kaleidoscope, it would sound like Tech N9ne’s thirteenth studio album, Something Else. Comprised of delectable guitar riffs, Heavy Metal pleasures fused with simplistic yet versatile beats and proactive, bloodcurdling sounds, the “Riot Maker” delivers an impressive project most wouldn’t have the balls to create. Broken down into three integral parts: fire, earth and water, the Kansas City native serves up a striking album that speaks to the complexities and contradictory nature of man. Extremely candid and reflective, Tech covers much ground, as the album becomes your compass through his evil brain/angel heart.

    With a guest appearance list straight from a blogger’s dream (The Doors, Kendrick Lamar, Game, Cee Lo Green, Big K.R.I.T. and Serj Tankian), Tech recruited some predictable yet eclectic artists that aligned perfectly with his goal to push musical boundaries and showcase his artistic autonomy. He alongside his production team built upon multiple classic elements to create one uniformed sound that is as fascinating as it is confusing.

    Haunting and sinister, the “Fire” tracks represent the dark, yet vivid imagery and thoughts within Tech. Songs like the terrorizing “Straight Out The Gate” which blend Rock and orchestral sounds, featuring System of a Down’s lead vocalist Serj Takian, are a good example of flawlessly marrying genres. Meanwhile, “Fragile” finds Tech N9ne and Kendrick Lamar annihilating a clear-cut beat through their bars with a concise delivery, while expressing disdain for critics. And Kendall Morgan’s emotive vocals entice the track making it a contender for best on the album.

    As expected, the “Water” chapter is somewhat lighter in subject mater and definitely isn’t as introspective or weighty but far more deafening. Guests abound but sometimes don’t bring much aside from name recognition, and the most lighthearted portion of Something Else almost becomes monotonous in its goal to break up the heaviness it’s sandwiched between.

    If any piece of this album represents Tech’s heart, “Earth” is it. “My Haiku-Burn The World” is emotionally taxing, with Tech and Krizz Kaliko playing off their solid chemistry as the electric guitar tantalizes the beat while asking, “Why did Adam shoot the school up?” Tech covers everything from death and epilepsy to abandonment. It is nice to hear him occasionally slow it up and allow us to internalize his lyrics, because he shines when he’s this transparent. The true standout is “Strange 2013” featuring The Doors. There is always some hesitation when any artist attempts to flip a classic, but Fredwreck nailed it with this delightful spin on The Door’s landmark “Strange Days.” Slightly reworked, but not enough to make it unrecognizable, this is the perfect middle finger moment to anyone that though Tech was a fly by night artist.

    Something Else in all of its intense, loud, confusing and obnoxious glory is fluid in its musical movement and sincere in its content. The album is contradictory in subject matter and sound yet speaks to the idealistic and free flowing approach Tech takes when creating music. One minute, he is a fire-breathing rapper with a large amount of darkness that could slice your retina with one verse. The next, he is a softer, blemished parent that wants what’s best for his seeds and just likes to breathe easy. But this flip is what makes the album work and gives it its core. It’s authentic and full of heart while capturing the duality of man. Some may be confused with its composition and not sure how to label it, while others will bask in its inventiveness. Even the skits play a key role, and production wise, it’s stellar amid a few bad apples (“With The BS,” “Dwamn”). Seven—who handled most of the beats—alongside Fredwreck and Drumma Boy aided Tech in blending genres and truly giving this album an impressive backdrop that tells just as much of a story as the lyrics. Tech N9ne sounds sharp over complicated production that has many layers to peel back. And he took big risks that will pay off, as Something Else will surely be a contender for album of the year. There are a few holes—the project’s length and forgettable appearances (Wiz Khalifia on “See Me”)—but overall, it’s an incredible album that will keep that hint of burgundy in the sky.

    15. Album sounds FIRE!!! Get it?

      Seriously though, this is easily Tech’s best work since the last five years or so. He sounds focused and the production is SOLID. The lyrics are complex and introspective, the delivery is unmatched as ever.

      You can’t call yourself a hiphop fan if you don’t appreciate Tech’s skills.

      This could be Album of the Year. In contention with MCHG and Yeezus. But this sounds more energetic than both of them combined.

    49. BITCH, Burn The World, With the BS, So Dope and Fortune Force Field were all average or worse, Dwamn and See Me are two of the worst Tech N9ne songs I’ve ever heard. With that said, Believe, Fragile, Priorities, That’s My Kid and Meant To Happen are really great. Straight out the Gate, Love 2 Dislike Me and Strange 2013 are good but I think the rock features on the choruses outshine Tech’s verse. Decent album, definitely something else with the exception of a few tracks. Not Tech’s best work but there are high lights that feature amazing flows and emotion and then there are low lights that never should’ve made the final album cut. Consistency has been Tech’s problem making albums and this album is a good example. Glad he experimented on this CD but a good handful of songs could’ve been better or excluded.

    57. I must say. The album kicks ass. Even better than my expectations of it. Tech sticks true to the title, and brings in a bunch of features from across most all genres and makes some of his best music yet. He has some rock, some rap, some dark, some upbeat songs on this masterpiece.

      Serj of System of a Down paired with Tech is an amazing collab on the first song, Straight Out the Gate. Following that up comes a song in which T-Pain does a great hook, called B.I.T.C.H., which is about Tech breaking through to a wider black fanbase he lacks because of the bullshit rumors of his devil worshipping.

      Tech murders his verse on a song called With the BS, featuring Trae the Truth, Big Scoob and Red Cafe, who all came through with great verses. See Me features two mainstream heavyweights; a dope hook by B.o.B. and a good verse for Wiz Khalifa. Love the concept too. Even with Tech doing big things some people actin like they dont see him. That may change after this album.

      Love 2 Dislike Me is about how a girlfriend criticizes Tech all the time but still wants to stay together. Very awesome metal beat with great guitar and singing by Tyler Lyon and Liz Suwandi. Tech makes a great song about monetary issues in Fortune Force Field. Great singing and overall hook by Tech himself.Im Not A Saint is a great dark, song where he spills on a lot of personal stuff.

      Fragile is one of the best collabs in a long time. Kendrick and Tech come thru with killer verses while Kendall Morgan and Wrekonize provide a beautifully sung hook in this song dedicated to ignorant critics. Followed by this song is Priorities, a short but incredibly dope song that is one of a kind, where all three emcees, Tech, Angel Davanport, and The Game trade bars back and forth revolving around a murder.

      Dwamn is a nice party anthem, whose title is referring to one of Techs catchphrases. So Dope is an awesome display of sexual-influenced lyricism and double-time rap over a sick beat. The alliteration in the beginning of Techs verse is unlike anything youll ever hear in hip-hop. Elite.

      Tech touches on some real personal, deep shit about a case where a 28 yr old molested a 4 yr old in Kansas City on My Haiku-Burn the World. On Thats My Kid, Tech, Kutt and Big KRIT dedicate their verses to their children.

      On Believe, Kortney Leveringston sounds like Beyonce. Her voice is amazing. Tech and her made such a positive song too. The last song, Strange 2013, with The Doors, is amazing. Especially considering The Doors inspired Tech to create Strange Music. So happy for him that he got to do a song with his musical idols.

      The bonus tracks are great too. Tech said himself that it was so difficult choosing 17 songs for the album since he had so much great music recorded. He wasnt lying. Colorado is an amazing posse cut about mary jane. Thizzles with Danny Brown is a perfect collab. Their styles fit together so well. Drowning features more amazing singing by Liz Suwandi. Somebody Else is another perfectly executed sexual song by Tech featuring Krizz. Feels Like Heaven is a personal track about Tech feeling comfortable with his life and about how in his past he was in a much darker place.

      Overall, dope album that I think legitimately gives Tech a chance at a #1 Billboard spot. Hes gotten so much recognition and publicity lately, which he deserves. Its a long time coming. But hes finally here. IT GOES UP.

    87. SOmething Else is something else coming from Tech N9ne.. I been listening to Tech since The Worst… Tech has always been my favorite rapper next to Ol’ DIrty Bastard, Method Man, and KRS One.. But the most songs on my Itunes is Tech N9ne no Doubt.. HE had some cd’s that weren’t the greatest but SOmething Else is my new banger since Everready… TEch is a rapper that can stay underground and mainstream fools still want to fuck with him because No One I mean no one has rhyme or flow like TEch… Plus the rock and Heavy Metal type beats ohhh shit no one is better. Straight out the Gates and Strange 2013… The cd is a banger everything this year from Strange MUsic has been amazing from Kutt, Ces Cru, RIttz to Mayday! TEch brought us something wonderful on this cd.. BUt I wanted to see more Kutt on the tracks I was lil disappointed bout that dude been down with him since forever basically and he gets one song… Album would be alot better without Danny Brown and Wiz I think.. But tho Tech doesn’t disappoint tho give us over 20 tracks and like 17 to 18 songs are wonderful… Winner in my book, wappers nowadays don’t know what lyrics are nor know how to rap.. If you want good music listen to this album but don’t stop there listen to everything that STrange Music has put out this year!!! ^S^

    103. I have never heard an album so powerful in my life. I have listened to Tech for about 5 years now, and until this album I had heard it all. It has everything from a rock song to powerful singing by a girl with a voice just like Beyonce’s. This truly is something else. If you like rap music, hell even any music in general, you need this album. As Tech says Real ish always shines. He speaks the truth in every song, and makes the listener feel his pain. It goes up 11/10

    106. Easily some of his best work!
      I have to say though… How is the project’s length a hole?
      Tech is one of the few artists who still put more than 10 or 12 songs on an album.
      28 tracks is 2.5 or 3 times the average.
      He gives us our money’s worth for sure!
      5/5.

        Either way, 24 songs (I think hahah) is still much better than most albums these days.

    108. Considering he hasn’t yet ran outta shit to rap about, this album in my opinion, is his best work yet. He gave this album pains he hasn’t ever revealed before. Showed us something else, stuff he never spoke of. And his flow is as intricate as ever. What’s next? The only way to go, is up. Make room for the greatest rapper of all time, Tech N9ne.

      2. I liked some of Yeezus. It had a good sound and was energetic.I believe Something Else was way better. But I was just saying for the sake of argument that it should get at least a 4.5 like Yeezus even though it was overrated and this one is underrated.

    176. @ Nick Newman It depends on which part of Tech N9ne you like the most…if you like his dark side go check out “K.O.D.(King of Darkness) and the “Boiling Point EP” if you like his independent “fuck mainstream/the industry” attitude go for “Absolute Power” If you want a breeze of Oldschool Tech N9ne go for “The worst”, “Anghellic”, “Celcius”. If you want classic and recognized songs by him pick up “Everready”, “Vintage Tech” and “Killer” or if you like Tech collab with everybody and their Moms get his collab albums “Sickology 101” and “Welcome to Strangeland”. I hope I could help you with that 😀 I can recommand every of them…but im a big Tech fanboy…not a dickrider but a fanboy!

Ever since he made his debut on Lol Wayne’s album the Carter 4, I knew he would go far. 2 years later, his debut album has finally come out, and ‘Something Else’ is album of the year. Can’t believe Tech wasn’t on the XXL Freshsman class but I guarantee he will be signed soon. Anyways, tons of features, dope beats, awesome flows. If you’re a real technician, you will go pick up this album.

    207. I been a Tech fan since Anghellic. Tech stepped up again on Absolute Power, but I have been left disappointed over all since then. I enjoyed some tracks from his albums and EPs over the past few years but over all I was left disappointed…until now! Strange Music has been on fire this year with the release of Ritz’s album, Wrek’s Album, Mayday’s album, and Ces Cru’s album was enjoyable to, but not as much as the other Strange Albums form the year. Then came Something Else. Best album of the year and above that, Tech’s best album ever.

      1. I take that back. Everready (The Religion) was the last singles album I throughly enjoyed from Tech. The only album I almost totally dislike is Killer, and since it seems to get virtually no mentions in the comments here, I guess I might not be alone.

      Reply

    218. Like always tech has done it again, he grows and grows with every album. You can not stop Aaron Almighty wake up and smell the hiphop he has been making great music for years people need to “listen” to his music it is very deep and has great meaning. Technician i am whole heartedly in life and in death. IT GOES UP

    232. I wish tech would have dropped the wiz feature and got better features for so dope. The features watered down the songs potential

      Reply

      1. the wiz feature def should have been dropped.. and the features for so dope are exactly that. he grabbed who he deems are emcees, lyrical monsters, and snow owned the track.

        Reply

    236. Not only does he wreck every track on here, he brings the best out of all the guest rappers throughout the album. Combining flow, themes, speed, and raw energy, easily the best of the year.

    245. solid album, but i would personally rather listen to techs older shit. The Calm Before the Storm, The Worst, Anghellic, Vintage Tech, Absolute Power etc.

      with that said this is still better then a good 90-95% of whats been coming out lately.

      anyway, this album is a 5/5 and iam glad that tech n9ne saves hiphop.

    321. The “bad apples” are in there to appeal to his fanbase. They’ve been used to hearing bangers like these on his last couple albums, and he would be lying to the general public to keep them off the album.

    402. Its amazing the cult following Tech N9ne has. I do think he’s very talented but one thing I think he suffers from consistently is weak hooks. And also almost everyone in his crew tries to sound like him too which I find annoying. Its funny I think he’s an amazing talent but his overall songwriting ability keeps him from being an elite emcee. I’d take “Run the Jewels” (my pick for album of the year), “12 Reasons to Die”, “Bend but Don’t Break”, Wale’s “The Gifted”, “Ugly Heroes” and even “MCHG” over this album.

    415. Listeners beware, this album made a Satan worshiper.

      4/5

    416. Great album, definitely, not anything ordinary or anything you hear recycled on the radio, 5/5 definitely potential for album of the year

    419. So dope love it the versatility, the depth, every track was something else. #1 independent in the world doesn’t need all the mainstream hype to move records. Tech is definitely changing the game. 5/5 AOTY

    420. you guys here in comments are so wrong and fake.

      funny how this album gets hyped for its versatility and how great versatility is. so many features is so so great.

      but other artists get trashed for that, look at LL Cool Js latest album. thats versatility too and sounds great. yet he gets trashed by fake guys here.

      also the review here is hilarious. others get smashed for versatility but not tech9. WHAT IS WRONG?

      i wont rate this shitty review.
      the album is a 4/5, but i wont cast a vote here on this fake site.

    423. 17 pages of dickriding. I love Tech, but some of you faggots would give this AOTY without even hearing it.

    435. To all people saying this album sucks, has no substance, or isn’t album of the year. I really have to question how you evaluate this man’s music or any music really in general. I’m not calling his best work but I will say its definitely one of the best albums he has ever done personally in my top 3 favorites. It was truly beautiful music and definitely deserves to be a strong contender for album of the year.

    437. This album sucks. Why do people worship this satanic clown? Hopsin will murk his ass. Also So Dope is the worst song I ever heard. That Twisted Insane guy uses words like “weenie” wtf? Was he influenced by Eminem on his Encore days? And snow the product tries way too hard to be a female yelawolf when she puts out garbage like Hola which sounds like parody of Hispanic culture. Also Krizz Kaliko, Ces Cru, Wreckonize, Mayday, and Rittz who cares about them. They all sound like Tech N9ne wannabes. And to feature sell outs like Wiz Khalifa, Danny Brown, Game, Big KRIT, and BoB? Hahahaha

      It’s Gucci Time!

      1. Of course when you listen and like garbage simple rap you would not like Tech N9ne. You sit here and critize Tech and your favorite rapper is Guccui Man…. Really?? Sersiouly? A guy with a tattoo of an ice cream cone on his face. You have to be a jit. kidding me!!!!

    444. Told ya it wouldn’t chart as high as the Tec stans predicted it would. Stop with the indie nonsense since there are several other indie acts who charted much better. LMAO

    449. only a 4 should atleast get 4 and a half this album is a classic. i will definitely be playing this 5 years from now. tech really brought something else and knocked it out of the park. strange really is putting out all the good music this year. rittz, mayday!, wreck, tech, krizz and stevie about to drop cant wait

    451. I dont know about yall, but why does Tech have to go “cha” after every line? It’s annoying as hell.

      Reply

      3. The reason you here “cha” that is his signature style, everyone has one. example Kendrick lamar he pauses in his songs, who does this before every song he does “2 chainz,” rick ross “whoop” French Montana “Huuuunh” what else, anyways just saying that’s their own style that makes them standout. Love it or hate it give respect to all artist. And btw I like all the above arist….deuces

    454. Its funny that all the critics and musicians themselves (Macklemore, Kendrick, Serj, etc. are praising Tech nowadays but all these faggots that sit on the computer are the only ones doubting him. Get a life people. Your comments aren’t doing anything. We STRANGERS and TECHNICIANS know what just happened. IT WENT THE F*CK UP!

    465. Wow this album was at 4.91 until the usual HipHopDX faggot trolls came thru and rated it down.

      Fuckin queers dont recognize real shit!

      Reply

      2. If reality strikes I think it’d likely go up. Mostly due to the fact that almost every other rapper (Including Lil Wayne and Jay Z) praise Tech N9ne’s work.

        Reply

    476. I’ve been a Technician for a minute, my rating on his release is this album is Dope!!! Tech’s ability to appease fans is crazy. Has put beats on this album suitable to do just as the title track “SOMETHING ELSE” says. Gives the hip hop fan a example of different sounds, that has always been Tech’s for’te. He has a talented and respected featured artist on here as well.

    477. Tech done did it again, stepped up to yet another level! 13th!!!! album and the most complete one of them so far

    478. great fucking album. period, there are low points at times but the higher points more than make up for it. stellar beautiful music

    480. sonnically this album is just garbage. really, you must be deaf to enjoy this cheap beats. and that track with Doors seems to be some misunderstanding.

      Reply

      2. You must mean “sonically” you might be one of those types of people that other people refer to as …. um …. oh yeah, a BIIIIITCH!!! Cheap beats? You must literally be challenged to try and describe his album as having cheap beats lol you’re a bit off, so take a second to think before you spout from your cock holster, I bet Bieber has new album coming out soon so keep your head up, you’ve got that to look forward to.

    483. Man this album is hard some songs throw it of like with the BS and priorities but over all tech gave me something else… i give it 5/5

      Reply

      1. Priorities is one of my favorite songs, like wtf? XD the beat tells a story in itself, like c’mon, how many beats have you heard that do that? I’ve never liked the Game but he fuckin’ murdered, Angel did pretty good at keeping up but seriously that song’s the shit. . with the BS is definitely the weakest song though, I’ll give you that

    484. Kanye west does something different everyone hates him for it, tech n9ne does the same shit sinceall 6s and 7s and he gets a high rating everytime? I respect tech but this site has fallen off

      Reply

      1. I don’t see how this sight fell off they gave yeezus a 4.5/5, better than this album. But that doesn’t matter, it matters what the people want.

        Reply

      3. Honestly Tech N9ne Would Merk Kanye With Every Style Known To Man With His Lyrical Abilities.

    489. 2nd best album I’ve heard this year…albeit it was not a strong year in hip-hop. Still, deserves to sell well given the superior sales of inferior competition.

    492. It’s typical that they don’t mention Wrekonize and Bernz on Fragile even though their parts on the song are dope as shit as well as the rest of the song. . not to mention iMAYDAY! made the beat too!

      Reply

    504. Tech N9ne has always been a better guest artist rather than having to hold an entire album by himself. This is mediocre.

      Reply

    506. To the dudes below me who says its trash and mediocre, I dare you to explain how this is trash and mediocre, I mean really explain how and why? Shit was a damn good album

    507. Dwamnn another great album by SM! Keep up the good work. For everyone hating on him without even listening to his music, sas gamisou olous!!
