[Interlude]
We've got thirty-five or more people out there now killing 20 and 30 people each
Like if I had a Thirty-Eight right now, I could make you do just about anything I wanted to. Just about all my life people have been doing that to me
Yes, but if they kill without conscious, how can they be treated?
How can we recognize them before it happens again?
I think we're all expecting these killers to be frothing-at-the-mouth-maniacs
The scary thing is that seemingly normal people commit these crimes they can act like anyone - your friend, a teacher, a guy next door
I just think we live in such a violent society, I just think we live in such a violent society, I just think we live in such a violent society
Seemed like a regular kind of guy, you know, normal, kind of quiet, but uh pretty smart, h-he just didn't seem like the kinda of guy that would kill anyone you know? I mean it doesn't make any sense
They don't think that you're worth anything, you're in their way
You know it's like "She was screaming, so I killed her"

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.
