I went into that show expecting it to be a complete flop. The first time I saw the Strange Music Group was on the Sickology Tour at Bogart’s in Cincinnati in 2009. By kiddies, I mean dumb people.I digress……What I did not know was that Tech N9ne and his crew are just as well known for putting on incredible concerts as they are for their quite humorous lyrics. The song is good to everyone….but all the little kiddies don’t really understand most of it. I once told someone that Tech’s songs remind me of a Shrek movie. They are generally offensive and humorous in nature, but often times it takes a few times through to get the clever lyrics. Tech, Kutt Calhoun, Krizz Kaliko, and Big Scoob never cease to humor me with their lyrics. It was for this reason I began to listen to Tech N9ne and the rest of the Strange Music crew in college. While I have never been particularly attracted to rap or hip hop music (aside from a brief Nelly obsession in high school that I’m not proud of….), I do thoroughly enjoy things that make me laugh.

I finally got talked into going, and the concert was absolutely amazing. Friends got me hooked on Tech N9ne a long time ago, but I was very resistant to even consider going to a concert. I’m not what you would call a typical hip-hop/rap fan.
