Just about every local insider knows the sad reality . . . Rockfest is ready to move out of Kansas City Proper and Tech N9ne might be rapping the swan song of KCMO's largest outdoor concert. Other Golden Ghetto venues would make for much better logistics or a suburban location to the East (like Sleaze Summit) might even capture this town's skyline from a distance. The fact is, fan reax to Rockfest have never been worse as Johnny Dare's ratings start to slip and terrestrial radio overall begins the digital tumble. Here's a Pitch (promo) article talking up the fest that's on the verge of FAIL as Tech N9ne might be delivering a MAKE OR BREAK performance this weekend: Tech N9ne talks about the intersection of rap and metal ahead of his slot at RockFest on Saturday

If there's a party going on, COUNT on TKC to poop it! Sad troll ...
ReplyDeleteWe can only hope and pray that this is the last one.
ReplyDeleteThe verge of fail......50,000 tix sold for a one day event...hmmm...sounds like its failing to me...smh
ReplyDeleteDamn Tony you are a super hater.
ReplyDeleteIt's complete. Tony has finally morphed into Aggie Stackhaus.
ReplyDeleteTech 9 fans go to intersections to car jack people.
ReplyDeleteFuck a bunch of low life rappers making metronomic 3rd grade rhymes in one octave for a demographic that reads at a 3rd grade level.
What ever happened to those halcyon good old days, when these pukes were killing each other off every other week and making the world a better place in their absence?
Chuck, if you think Tech is like every other rapper, then you don't know Tech and you don't know rap.
ReplyDeleteBut thank you for kindly putting your ignorance and racism on display.
Tech is the face of metal and metal heads love him for it.
ReplyDeleteWhat KC really needs is stripperfest. Fuck lame ass "B" list musicians.
ReplyDelete11:56 get your white nose all the way up that rapper's ass where it belongs, you etiolated, effeminate, slug.
ReplyDeleteU R ON YOUR KNEES, right where you belong.

ReplyDeleteIn case you're not familiar with Tech N9ne (pronounced "Tek Nine") or his "body of work", the rapper (and if it's "gangsta", why isn't it also "rappa"?) was born Aaron Dontez Yates in 1971 in Kansas City. His moniker is a reference to a submachinegun-style handgun that "gangstas" think is just too cool (even if they can only obtain the semi-automatic version).
If it's not enough to be named for a gun, he also mentions lots of other guns in his lyrics, which unabashedly celebrate, glamorize and encourage the gangsta lifestyle (a major tenet of which seems to be that guns are the answer to everything, from a petty insult on up). While he pays a lot of lip service to "a higher power", his "search for God" and his pursuit of perfection in his "technique" and his "art", his actual lyrics and content are a different matter.
Mayor James seems to think that Kansas City should be proud to be Tech N9ne's home, and be honored that he mentions Kansas City in his lyrics, like these from his recording, "Gunz Will Bust";
"Gunz Will Bust"
[Verse 1]
I know you know this is Kansas City
Where n*gga life don't mean sh*t
So step to and immediately get yo dome split
I pack heat for days run street wit K's and hollow's
On a concrete crusade you made the pill now swallow
You never thought tomorrow
You see me beam up all strapped down wit a pump
Searchin' for the n*ggas on a hunt
Jerkin' on the trigga when I dump
It's not a game dude my killaz will mangle
Anything in my range fool
When hatin' get framed moved
We play the same rules...
[Chorus]
Rough n*ggas in the street will bust 4 the bread
And meat deuce 57th Street and 7 deuce be packin' heat punks
Get the f*ck away from we, for we buckin' these mutha f*ckin' G.U.N.Z.
Inspirational, huh? Have you got this, Kids? This is what the mayor of Kansas City thinks should motivate you to attend school and pursue your education, and this is the kind of person the mayor of Kansas City thinks you should have as a role model!
Maybe I know more about Rap than you think fuckhead.
Chuck kicks them in the twat again!!!
ReplyDelete133: Another form of the 2nd amendment.
ReplyDeleteThe streetcar will save it.
ReplyDeletemetal is metal
ReplyDeleteI would love to hear who these "insiders" are. Rockfest isn't going anywhere. Every big city in America has something like this in the heart of the city. If you don't like the bands, don't go. I'm not going but I'm all for the city having a big event.
ReplyDeleteThe next big event needs to be a bullshit reduction festival.
ReplyDeleteHere is chuck bad mouthing a balck man calling him a criminal while Glazers cum is still dripping off his chin.
ReplyDeletechuck crawl back to KCC with wilson and the other racists over there.
9:27
ReplyDeleteLets make sure we are clear.
You, you dumb, white cunt, want to suck Tech9's cock while the entire "RAP" industry, indoctrinates you kids and the 4th estate, stands by with a smile on it's face.
Send your kids to me and people just like me, who, are unimpressed with a strategy, that makes sure, that if we suck the devil's dick, he will kill our families last.
Fuck you cocksucker, you white cunt.
You can take every single shit heel, douche bag that attends Rockfest, Fagfest, Dickfest, whatever the fuck you want to call it, and they can all kiss my fucking ass. Hopefully a tornado will swoop down and blow the fucks away.
ReplyDeleteNothing bout a collection of bottom feeding shit stains.
Again, Chuck kicks them square in the twat! Well done sir!

ReplyDeleteGee, Chuckie boy can run to Wikipedia and learn all about Tech, then run back here and pretend he knows everything!
ReplyDeleteMeanwhile, he runs to Tony's "free speech zone" to say things against others using free speech that he could never say to any black man's face because he'd be too busy pissing his pants out of fear.
No, Chuckie boy, you still don't know a damned thing about Tech N9ne or about rap. And your lame attempt to sound tough just digs your hole deeper. You really are a laughingstock.
Chuckie can't say that shit over at KCC either. And if you look at how he sucks up to Glazer all the time you do have to wonder if they are lovers. But 9:27 is right if your against crime then your against crime. If your against bad behavior then your against it no matter what color of the skin. No Chuckie you are one two faced fucker for sure.
