Raps by Ubiquitous and the California-based Murs also redeem “Blunt and a Ho,” which opens with Tech N9ne delivering a voicemail message any sensible human resources officer would flag as workplace harassment. While Tech raps about “coughing up a loogey” on “Wake and Bake,” impassioned vocals from the multi-talented Krizz Kaliko rescues the otherwise putrid track.Īnd despite the shouted chant of “play ball slay all” that serves as the inept hook of “PBSA,” the men of Kansas City’s Ces Cru, Ubiquitous and Godemis, contribute smart and funny verses. Tech N9ne’s propensity for over-sharing is made bearable by contributions from his Strange Music label-mates. Tech N9ne’s stentorian flow salvages deplorable selections, as when he brags about his speedy delivery on “Slow to Me,” suggesting the oral dexterity that allows him to rap with nimble quickness can be adapted to sexual acts. II to justify suffering through the 80-minute project.

Still, there’s enough brilliance on Strangeulation Vol. On the grotesquely lewd “Muah,” a contender for the worst song in his discography, Tech N9ne suggests that "pounding punani each night" is a perk enjoyed by skilled rappers. The misogynistic “Fired” slanders a sexually adventurous "stupid bitch" who's particularly "loco" during "the week of her period." Details about a foreplay ritual on the revolting “Chilly Rub” might trigger gag reflexes in the most libertine of listeners. Scatological references aren’t the only questionable lyrics. After clumsily explaining the album’s concept - “Smokin’ weed/True indeed/Sick emcees/Presented by Tech-a-nees” - Tech N9ne equates himself with elite rappers and insists his output is “pure art: I'm the shit and… you're farts.” The first of five songs labeled as cyphers contains the most embarrassing of Tech N9ne’s many unfortunate lines.

II features Tech N9ne’s colleagues on the Strange Music roster, but it isn’t the absence of multi-platinum rappers that makes it disappointing - it’s subpar beats, uninspired sounds and insipid content. Loaded with challenging music and insightful lyrics, Special Effects was enlivened by contributions from hip-hop superstars including Eminem, Lil Wayne and 2 Chainz. II debuted in November at #4 on Billboard’s R&B/Hip-Hop charts and #25 on the publication’s overall albums chart but is arguably the weakest of the rapper’s 16 studio albums. Special Effects, a stellar project released in May, might be Tech N9ne’s artistic pinnacle. Tech N9ne once boasted, on the title track of his 2009 EP “E.B.A.H.,” that he has an “evil brain” and an “angel heart.” Those contradictory extremes have characterized the Kansas City rapper’s extraordinarily successful career, so it’s not surprising that the two albums Tech N9ne released in 2015 may be the best and the worst recordings in his extensive catalog.
