"Blood, this is the end of men who were once friends, And then one asshole thought he was somethin, when Punks bend over they get ***ed (get ***ed), hand over them Tech tapes or get stuck (get stuck)". Yada, Yada, Yada - This track is also about a backstabbing friend (Don Juan, who worked with Tech).
He talks about his rise in music, his worldwide appeal, and how good of a rapper he is (that's the gist of it.). Starts with some weird vocal effects and goes straight into a verse with a very catchy beat with all sorts of electronic effects and such. Signing Off - This is an interlude into the next song.Ībsolute Power - The title track. Good rhyming, cool vocal harmonies at the end. Worst Enemy - This is short song about a backstabbing friend. "Fall into a spell way deeper than hell, Sensation was given to me from my homegirl Shell, Told me since I was in pain and I like to rebel, This Motorola I'm giving you will suit you real well". This song appears on Tech's future compilation Vintage Tech with the female vocals in the chorus not backwards. Very deep, emotional lyrics told from two perspectives - the druggie and the man trapped in the druggie's body. "Don't you come near me 'cause the devil sittin next to me, I drink my drink I smoke my weed and pop my ecstasy.". Trapped in a Psycho's Body - In this song, Tech talks about his drug problems. A little more mellow of a beat, reminds me of the Indian snake charmers with the flute. Slither - "I love the way you make it slither, baby." This song's about women. 3.5/5ĭiamond Joe's - Just an interlude into the next song.
Cool little acoustic guitar lick, catchy rhythmic chorus, and an apology to any real Bianca's and Beatrice's in the end (lol). Basically a song about doing drugs and f*cking bitches. This is one of the more accessible songs on the albums and since I can relate to it: 4.5/5īianca's and Beatrice's - features Kutt Calhoun (Tech's label-mate). "I ain't never understood how the world works, But I always understood why the girls twirk for a baller not a 9 to 5, Barely makin' it with disgust behind your eyes". He talks about being a "slacker" and the rejection of the 9-5 lifestyle. The verses are unique, and he talks about pretty much everything thats on his mind (mostly getting laid, his rise to fame, Kansas City ("This is the town where the clowns put it down baby"), getting drunk, etc). "This is the beginning of blingin' and houses, And women welcoming angels and demons on couches, And sinnin' I'm alive and well, The demise will bring ghost stories when I rise". Here Comes Tecca Nina - In this song he basically talks about himself (and how awesome he is). The lyrics talk about how disposable mainstream rap artists can be and how the industry neglects the real talent in the genre. stating that Tech's music won't go well with urban radio (and his orange hair, etc). The Industry is Punks - This track starts with a recorded phone conversation from a record label rep.
Intro - In this talking track, he responds to criticism about a previous album (Anghellic) and how his critics started calling him a devil worshipper (but thats a whole other story) Absolute Power was released in 2002 to number 79 out of 200 on the top music charts. In fact, he often rants about the mainstream music industry. Tech N9ne's style goes beyond the typical topics of mainstream rap. He can rap faster than most other rappers I've heard, and with meaning. His music can be characterized as catchy, musical, heavy hitting beats, choruses that stick, and some very impressive, yet unusual poetic rhymes. When I returned from Colorado back to my home state New Jersey with a collection of his albums, Tech became a favorite among all of my friends. He seems to have a large following in the midwest and the western US. Review Summary: Very catchy beats, deep lyrics, versatile rhyming skills.
