His tenth studio album, K.O.D., was released October 27, 2009. He has spent his illustrious career making sure he’s been grinding harder than the average rapper, and is the best selling artist out of his hometown. With nine solo albums and two powerhouse collaboration projects under his belt, the Kansas City MC’s flow is sharper and slicker than it’s ever been.
“This is another roller coaster ride,” explains TECH N9NE about the release. “When it came time for Sickology 101, I knew I wanted to do a collabo album based on the study of being sick. It’s a beginner’s course for people who don’t know how to be sick lyrically or how to choose sick beats. It all starts with beats because they tell me exactly what to do.” Epic beats from YoungFyre, Wyshmaster, Seven and Matic Lee set the stage for TECH N9NE to weave his introspective and sometimes roguish lyrics around.
Sickology 101 brims with stellar appearances from lyrical heavyweights. On the opening title track, TECH N9NE slays alongside Chino XL and Crooked I, pulling listeners into the Hip-Hop classroom for a lesson in murdering a beat. It’s a twisted vision forged on undeniable grooves and quixotic wordplay.
The single, “Nothin,’” is an inspiring, honest anthem that features Messy Marv and Big Scoob. Meanwhile, on “Midwest Choppers 2,” TECH N9NE and Krayzie Bone cruise to the depths of darkness. “Krayzie Bone came through and murdered it,” says TECH N9NE. “I modeled the song after movies. When you do a sequel, there has to be a bigger body count and more people have to die. ‘Midwest Choppers 2’ is Autobahn-style. It makes you want to speed.”
TECH N9NE’s inimitable flow and rhyming take center stage on solo tracks, including the haunting, hypnotic “Red Nose.” He doesn’t pull any punches on the vitriolic, YoungFyre-produced “Blown Away,” either. It’s an open letter to several prominent urban artists who refused to play before him at radio festivals despite his massive concert draw.
With hits like “I’m A Playa,” “Caribou Lou” (which boasts 7.2 million MySpace plays), “Riotmaker,” “Like Yeah” and “Everybody Move,” it’s no wonder TECH N9NE counts a total of over 4.5 million YouTube video plays and an average of 40,000 MySpace visitors each day. His success knows no limits. The July 2008 release, Killer, debuted at Number 1 on the Billboard Top Independent Albums chart and Number 12 on the Billboard Top 200 Albums chart. He did it all on his own. There was no major label — just TECH N9NE’s own record company, Strange Music. TECH N9NE’s tracks have appeared in films like Gang Related and Alpha Dog as well as various TV shows, and he recently made his motion picture debut in The Life of Lucky Cucumber alongside members of MTV’s “Jackass” crew.
It hasn’t been an easy road, but TECH N9NE soldiers on and he’ll never stop. “They call me devil worshipper because I’m different. I give you music for my core. They’re the people that put me over the million mark. I raise my middle finger to everybody who judges me because my core audience is there for me. They will always love me, but I’m trying to reach others, too. It’s not over. My music is supposed to be for everybody, but some people just don’t get it. This album is the result; swallow it. It’s middle finger music, all-day and all-night.”
TECH N9NE never stops bringing that music directly to his fans, constantly reinforcing his status as one of the hardest-touring rap acts in the business. In 2008, TECH N9NE performed over 200 shows and he doesn’t show any signs of slowing down in 2009. In April, TECH will head out in support of Sickology 101 and spend two months on the road, performing live for his rabid fans.
Sickology 101 is prepping the world for TECH N9NE’s next masterpiece, K.O.D. “I want people to know that I’m getting better and better and I’m a machine. I do these collabo albums to give the fans more. This is a bridge record to K.O.D. It’s the farewell to the TECH N9NE you’ve known lately. It’s getting darker. A lot of people might not be able to go to the place I’m going, but this place is my specialty.”
“I don’t need people to kiss my hand,” assures TECH N9NE. “I’m not trippin’ on status, and I’m not a narcissist when it comes to rap. It’s my heart and soul pouring onto the paper. I write my life and I can’t hold back. This is what I know.”

Tech N9ne Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I wanna be with a woman and just This one, but the taste of blood is still on my tongue.
If I could just eat food instead of her D boobs, I want this one alive when the morning comes...
I just want to be a normal boy,
Just wanna be a normal boy.
If I only could just keep the women off my tongue, then she can be my number one lady.
I just want to be a normal boy,
If I only could just keep the women off my tongue, then she can be my number one lady.
Oh please, oh please, oh please
Just give me just one more clit,
One more tit,
One more bitch.
What does I gotta do to get me fixed?
Cause I gotta have this one in my mix.
She's so beautiful I would slit
Both my wrists
If she split
When she finds out that I'm so sick.
I eat women.
I really eat women.
They're really delicious.
I gotta be knowin' so I can make her the Mrs.
I gotta date with her so I can tell her my wishes,
Even though I'm a beast but she don't know that I'm vicious.
So I meet her at her place and she's so sweet.
Made me dinner but really want her meat
From her cheek,
Maybe her feet.
I'm trying to be discrete,
But I really want to eat
Her out completely.
Teach me,
To keep it away from her,
The eating and tape on her,
The chewing away fingers.
Once she feeds me I'm lovin me tasting her.
Can I just have a normal night?
I just want to be the man to live normal life
Normal wife
Keep her in the formal white,
But the psycho creature with the horn will bite.
It's almost sun up now.
I'm getting done up, wow.
Fellatio.
But I found out she was insatiable.
She wanted me to do her too,
Don't want to see me through her view,
Cause I got on my knees,
Started doin' my deed,
But then I accidentally chew her out.
The lyrics of Tech N9ne's Pinocchiho present a disturbing story of a man's struggle to control his cannibalistic tendencies. He expresses a desire to have a normal life and wife, but he cannot resist his urge to consume women. The lyrics suggest that he has already tasted blood and the female body parts he desires, and he wants to keep one woman alive to repeat the experience. The imagery used in the lyrics is graphic and unsettling, with lines like "What does I gotta do to get me fixed?" and "Once she feeds me I'm lovin me tasting her." Despite his gruesome desires, the man expresses a desire to be taught how to keep his urges under control and to live a normal life.
The song is a commentary on the objectification and commodification of women. The man sees women as objects to be consumed for his own pleasure, rather than as human beings with their own desires and needs. The lyrics suggest that the man is aware of the wrongness of his desires, but he cannot control them. Tech N9ne's use of rap and explicit lyrics suggests the pervasive nature of society's expectations of men to be dominant, aggressive, and in control, as well as the dark consequences that can come from this.
