That devoted cult following explains both the size and description of “Something Else” – that is that this album is offered on on Amazon as a 26 track, 84 minute long “All Access” edition including all songs from deluxe editions and pre-orders in one shot. In fact most hip-hop tours wish they could have him as a supporting act to tap his popularity. He’s regionally popular but nationally recognized, and able to tour off the strength of his own name without having to partner up with anyone else. Who preaches simple thoughts and lead the listeners on blind faith”ĭoes that make N9ne a cult leader? He certainly has a cult following. N9ne won’t profess to being either positive or negative, simply stating “I’m Not a Saint”:Įnough to lead to frowns upon the face of those who found me The news reports continue throughout the album, at first disturbing (vandalism) and then positive (decreased crime and increased school attendance). Tech N9ne relishes this kind of cross cultural confusion and revels in it, refusing to conform to any standard other than his own. It might be easier for some people to understand Aaron Yates if they perceive him as an alien – a man who professes on “B.I.T.C.H.” to be “putting all the facepaint I can put on.” He’s known for his deliberately wild physical appearance, at times sporting brightly colorful mohawk spikes, which may cause stereotypers to confuse him for a punk rocker instead of a hip-hopper.

Those things are potentially frightening even without a meteor strike, but the implication is of course that what’s unfolding on the album is extra-terrestrial in origin. A creeping mist unnerves the reporter on the scene, as well as the sky changing to an unusual burgundy color. The setting was chosen purposefully so that the impact of the strike “could be felt as far away as downtown Kansas City” with “tremors in high rise office buildings.” N9ne is the most famous export of the KC rap scene, and the top star of the Strange Music imprint, which is itself headquartered in Lees Summit, Missouri (where the “impact” would no doubt be felt as well). It begins with a meteor strike in Pleasant Hill, Missouri. Tech N9ne opens “Something Else” like a horror/science fiction movie.
