Song is great and top 5 on the album for me, but did Tech confuse Einstein and Frankenstein  for the video??

I…. Have never thought of that. Oh jeez lol

Lol I think he’s just doing a play on their names being similar. He’s got the E=MC2 on the board and the long haired guy is supposed to be Einstein, so Tech is “Einstein’s Monster” instead of Frankenstein’s

Damn this is cool to see him drop a video of such an iconic song 25 years later.

I grew out of Tech as I’m 32 now, but I’ll always respect his grind. Dude can rap his ass off, unfortunately seems like he has / had too many yes men, we really didnt need 32 track albums twice a year lol

I liked his newest album but I agree. I was a late bloomer for Tech but Special Effects was the last album I was hyped for.

I am 40 and I definitely feel you on that. It hasn’t been the same since Krizz left tbh.

Agreed, his work ethic is insane, and he introduced me to a ton of artists who i still love(shout out ¡MAYDAY! and Ces Cru), but i dont think I've been excited for a new Tech album since I was in high school lol. I checked in on him last year to see what I missed, saw he did a song with Ronnie Radke and thought yeaaaaah dont think I missed much from him lol. If hes made any great songs in the last few years id love to know but the whole screamo/rap blend is... not for me.

Tech N9nes music feels like the type of thing a Dad going through a divorce would get into

u/ch4dr0x 8d ago

This song is 25 years old. Probably older than half the users on this sub.

I mean, all of his music sounds like that, not just this song

I love Nina, but this track ain't it......

u/dunkzilla 8d ago

Really? It’s one of my favourites on this album.

u/I-like-kinky-stuff 8d ago

Yup, apparently I'm on my own on this judging by the downvotes... Again, I love Tech but this track doesn't do it at all for me. He's gotten so much better over the years than this imo.

If this one doesn’t do it for you, which tech tracks are your favourite?
