Bad Season

Interviewer: Now, as far as the whole DJ Whoo Kid incident, how did that make you feel when you heard it, how did you find out about it, and how did it all get squashed? Because I understand he went on Twitter saying he was gonna cancel the mixtape

Tech N9ne: Okay. Because of what he said, I'm in the hotseat. And I know he didn't mean anything by it, he ain't that kinda dude, you know what I'm sizzling? He said something fucked up on accident, just playing around, just playing around, you know what I'm saying? He said something that offended my fans, so the fans look at me like "oh, okay, what's Tech gonna do?" I'm in the hotseat. Goddammit! I'm in here doing my job, now I'm in the hotseat because of something them niggas said, you know so it's on accident. So, therefore, if we abort this, all the beats are go away, which we wrote everything around these beats, you know what I'm sizzling? But I had to look at it broad-spectrum. Everybody got something on this, you know what I'm saying? XXL is into this, you know what I'm saying? Whoo Kid's people is into this. Strange Music is into this. The fans are into this, you know what I'm saying? So if I just abort, everything just falls, for no reason, you know what I'm saying? So the fans ultimately said, "we want Bad Season."

Tech N9ne

Aaron Dontez Yates (born November 8, 1971), better known by his stage name Tech N9ne, is a chopper-style rapper from Kansas City, Missouri. He has been rapping since 1985 and during the ’90s, he was in the hip-hop group Nnutthowze.

In 2000, Tech N9ne, along with Travis O'Guin, founded Strange Music, Inc, the independent record label currently owned by Tech and co-owned by O'Guin. Strange Music currently has 12 artists on its roster.

In 2006, he independently released his album Everready (The Religion), and though his album just prior–Absolute Power– is his highest selling album to date ( 358,000 copies sold), Everready is considered by many to still be his best work.
