Tech N9ne Tearfully Opens Up About his Mom, Threats on His Life and Eminem | Sway's Universe 

Tech is the realest

Sway is hands down the best interviewer, this and the Bibby interview are the best I've seen, and it's not like the Breakfast Club, that are famous for verbally fighting the guest, Sway gets people comfortable to open up, and shows them as genuine people

I don't care what anyone says, Tech N9ne is the best, and the realest.

Damn this interview some real shit. never really listened to Tech but now I wanna hear this album

This is probably the best interview I've ever seen. The way Tech N9ne opened up deserves a lot of respect, the amount of work he puts into his thing is crazy. And in spite of his mother passing on to still make epic albums is extraordinary. He's one of the best in the rap industry hands down. Respect

Tech your mom Is your heart. She made you and created your heart inside her body. You ARE your mom. She is you.

Dudes very well spoken,beast of a rapper! humble dude and a multi millionare independently. Salute.

sway's behind! he still don't know that the hopsin retirement was a publicity stunt! haha

a lot of rappers nowadays will never be as real as tech

This is Raw. Tech is amazing. "I'll do whatever I have to to stay here for my kids"

Tech N9ne independent Millionaire, it goes to show you if you put in the work anything is possible, even without a Major Deal.

i already had respect for tech, but damn with his story idk how you coulndt have respect for him

Think of how Tech went from the song "One Good Cry" to opening up like this! Proud of this man. RIP Tech's mama

Love you Tech n9ne!!!! RIP Mrs. Maude Sue Yates! Mainstream will go tech!! Keep doing what you do!!!!

Man its crazy seeing all these new fans commenting on video about how they kinda like this dude and stuff, and even referring to him as a new rapper. Tech has been around longer than your favorite rapper more than likely. But its dope to see these mainstream fans start to open their eyes and ears, I'm not a butthurt technition cause tech is working with mainstream artist I'm happy for his success foreal. Mainstream went tech. I haven't seen him choke up in an interview before like this ever though can't wait for special effects.

Know what I'm sizzlin?

Sway is like an industry psychologist

wtf is that shit that pops up at 12:33 over Tech's left shoulder???? lol

8:34 "It not your enemies that get you, its always your own people" From the track "In Between us" Scarface featuring Nas from The fix album. That joint is one of favourite tracks

When he said he's a strong man, he'll be alright in a minute that really made me sad, I really felt bad about. Even when his family gettin on him about money.

Hopsin was trolling hes gonna release a new album later this year I forgot what its called

Dam I've been listening to tech since 01' and watched just about every dam interview he's done and I've never ever ever seen or heard him tear up or his voice sound shaky on the verge of crying or tearing up cuz tech keeps it 100 and one of my fav tech songs is "One Good Time" and the song is basically about him just letting out one good cry like breaking down for real and that he can never do it but him still performing the same day at summer jam when his mom passed away that's just a real ass nigga so I salute u Tech all day and all night STRANGE MUSIC FOR LIFE ^S^

what is up with the damn camera?

One of the best interviews i've ever seen in my life. I had tears in my eyes throughout half this shit. Just saw him live in Hawaii (first time he was ever allowed to perform here) and i saw him 2 years ago in Belgium, Europe. Tech is one of the greatest live performers. "Special Effects" is gonna be album of the year !!!

Wish Tech & Em would do a VZ, just for the sake of Hip Hop. Start it off with the Anthem and finish it off with Speedom.

Yo the best part of this interview is 13:23 when sway gives his feedback and advice to Tech. - Watch tech give his undivided attention and listen to him show utmost respect to sway by saying “Yes sir”. That shows big character - forever a fan of N9na.

Love it ! would love to work with Tech 9 1 day he is an indie artists inspiration

the realest illest truest independent MC alive and MY IDOL TECH MUTHAFUCKN N9NE!!!

One more reason tech is really "the rapper", for real...he really feels his music as much, if not more than the rest of us. I love you tech(and sway as well). I got bars too baby, and its easy to lose sight of everything when your cities population is so small, and gets no exposure. (like mine)...But hearing your music, and all of sways interviews...are exactly why i dont stop, and wont stop until I'm in that "STRANGE"...chain...and the whole fucking world can hear me. I just wish there was a lane for people who don't have the ability to put together a studio or any of that... I mean real f****** rappers, that just play a beat off of RU-vid and spit something hard, that we all feel on a different level. I hate how real talent gets drowned out so much, because of the level of poverty and a community... Or maybe mental state of an individual, who's been institutionalized most of his life (having no experience in the kind of world the world we've all been living in, so technological and diverse from a pen and pad/beat on the tabletop...)... It would just be tight, to see like military recruits for rappers that are really about it, burning down cities with cypers, and bring him forth opportunity for the younger generations that are being held back by community leaders and such... I don't know why I went on this long rant, over a RU-vid comment bar anyway... I can tell you one thing for sure though, when it comes to rap music... I am still standing here undefeated, and even strangest individuals, who don't like rap music at all... Can feel the s*** I'm spitting, because it's the truth 100 percent of the time. Anglez~Yah...over~N~out

2018 almost 2019 can we just rejoice for a sec that nothing happened to tech and hes still making dope albums and music. Much love tech

Something Else was my first Tech N9ne album. Needless to say, I now have ALL of his songs and most of Strange Music ^S^

Mine died at 21 on mothers day..been raping for a long time..ill never give up..mad respect for tech..even if none can respect me back as a human..god child ...producer rapper...I feel u tech..ill be 40 a week from today...And I cant hold back my tears still.yet I have nothing..but God got me... One day ill be up there with you momma..but first I got to get there up wit tech n9ne... Craze MC Http://www.cdbaby.com/cd/crazemc PORTLAND OREGON ..RAPPING SENCE 1989.

man this shit touched me. you could tell he was genuine with his shit.

to be honest, Tech should be making more than $8 mil.

I can understand what Tech is going thru to the fullest when he spoke on people close to him threatening his life, & the situation with Mick from Slipknot. My younger brother told me a few moths ago that he wanted me to die, that he would kill me. That he knew others who wanted me to die & that he could have them kill me, because they wanted me dead also. Instead of fighting him & provoking the altercation, I turned the other cheek & showed him a gun & a few knives that he could commit the murder with. He pushed me a few times & I did nothing about it because it was pointless & extremely unnecessary. I still forgive him to this day for what he did, but I will never forget his actions & the words he spewed verbally towards me. Nina was right, it hurts more when your own family, your own blood, feels the need to turn against you & become your enemy.

I think tech n9ne is the coolest strangest big hearted technician and freind i've ever seen on music of all types he's strange because he's original and real about his word but as well as the best one ive ever believed in through anything and I have cancer so its just inspiring in all way FRIEND I NEVER HAD...

Awesome interview. As a Technician I know this new EP will be his beat 1 yet

Great interview. Can't wait to hear that tech and em record.

T9 definitely reinvented himself on Special Effects by dedicating this one to his mom... Love this album !!!

Respect to Tech n9ne. Gotta love how real he is. I can't wait for the album.

I think Speedom is so dope that is might break the space time continuum.

The interview that sealed the deal to make me a Technician. His skills were one thing, but his humility was the thing that won me over. #Strange4Life

Know what I'm sizillin?

I don't dig his music, since I'm not into fast and too sophisticated rhymin. But he seems like a really nice guy.

Damn Tech you got me tearing up watching this interview! It Goes Up 🤘🏼 ^S^

This is humbling and surreal seeing the real tech

tech's probably the best/most consistent rapper in the history of the rap game and has always had a unique/original flow

Tech is jut too Real! Helped me through some rough shit and all... if it was all about skills man that guy wd be a billionaire!

2:37 mmmm jump cut. I can respect that Sway cut out something that Tech may have said that was too personal

Best interview ive seen this year

I'm excited for this album though. Tech has always been real and humble, great dude. Beast of a rapper!

bless you tech. I pray for you brother. speak the truth of that love in your heart.

Much Love my man. Your beautiful amazing mother helped make all this happen. A real man can be tough and a good heart....EBAH, you just love your mom (Queen). Mine passed 16 years ago in 4 more days..... Lv ya mom. I've been a fan since the early 90s and I've put alot of people on you because I believe in you. I'm from LA, livin I. The midwest, went to hundreds and hundreds of shows and now at 46 I go to very few, but I always go see you with our middle son and last time, you were the first artist I ever gave something special from me to...... Kind of dumb, but heart felt.....I have a heart like a mug, can't help it.....I gave you a 3/6 red Bone...representing you as the 3, your mom as the 6 =ING 9. I broke one of my old sets to give that to you. I don't care if anyone ever sees it as long as you know the meaning.... Very proud of you, keep doing you and some day you will get all the recognition you deserve.... This is coming from a kid that's parents owned a record business in the late 70's & 80s & did a little spinning in the 80s and 90s, I am a hard core old school hip hopper, so salute my big brother...... I am so glad you go my LA brother Murs, good move. Best to you, your family and the whole Strange team.

This shit is crazy. That's the problem with becoming famous and getting money. There will always be people out there whether they be friends or family, will always expect to get some.

Tech. much respect for what you're doing! been a fan for a long time and still am. love your music. Greetings from the netherlands

I thought Hopsin retired! Not for me. That had me laughing so hard

S/o to tech n9ne for being strong i couldnt imagine

watching this on mother's day I feel the pain I'm in the situation feeling pain I saw them tech there real ghost when I first saw one I closed my eyes counted to 10 and it was gone real spit can't wait to collaborate with strange music and find my eyes my face and my mind cause strange things be going on and I can't wait to let loose with strange

tech n9ne is one of the hardest working artist in music and i have mad respect for him

She is with you Tech never let anyone try to convince you otherwise. God rest her soul and God bless you too.

I not sure if anyone has noticed this besides me. But why is it when a music artist usually, close family member dies or friend all of a sudden things that artist wanted or overall big success starts coming to fruition? I'm not one for the conspiracy theories but it's really odd. I can literally give 5 examples of this with other breakout or now major artists.

Sway The Definition Of Legendary

great interview! Tech nine is so humble i got so much respect for him. cant wait for that new album

Tech N9ne is the Best. Nothin but Love

He's so full of emotions, God bless him. Such an amazing and real interview.

By far one of the GREATEST interviews I've seen on here in years...

Been a fan since Absolute Power, and to anyone who has never heard of Tech, this dude is the realest rapper ever! You will not be dissapointed cause he has music for everyone. I'm really excited for the Eminem and Hopsin collab. Congratulations on finally getting Em. Keep doing what you do Tech, keep it STRANGE big homie. ^S^

He just summed up kc (crabin the bucket mentality )

Good brother. I'm glad I checked him out.*

Sway always gets super excited when tech comes through , he knows music

I still got my momma, but hearing this makes me appreciate her more while she's here . Tech the realist

One of the best rappers of all time.

Sway and big boy are the best interviewers . They make their guest comfortable . Good interview sway as always !

What do we say to haters off top? Haters got beef, they thinkin' we got, we gon' get postal if it don't stop, you can get ghost or you can get shot!

damn. real shit

arrested (I assume for "theft of services")?? would a studio seriously believe Tech wasn't good for $1500? That's some bullshit

0:40 I think two of my favorite Tech N9ne songs it's probably a cliche but dysfunctional and the needle

Tech bro respect from România 😎😎

Tech Is Just The Fucking REALEST. tech has changed my life ever since i found his music years ago and i love tech so much. im so glad i got to see him for the first time at knotfest....i dream of working for that man some day. strange music baby

why the camera is so high?

Shoutout to Lawrence, KS and the gold medal Jayhawks

Im sizzling

What up with the strangers of strange music when you gonna do like a SMC (strange music choppers) the Cypher was sick but I wanna hear all the strangers hit it with the quickest raps.

12:09 yes speedom is dope it's freaking amazing they're all amazing on that track it's just insane

fuck that's unreal he has some real stuff going on

9:17 is it your fault that your family member did something to put himself in jail are they like in the early twenties. I get its family but it's not your job to save everyone especially if they got a case

13:52 yo being sensitive having feelings does not make you a wimp it shouldn't make you feel inferior you need to feel if you don't or if you hold it in it can't get bad and dark

Two of the best here sway the best interview and Tech N9ne the best rapper out here today dropping more albums than anyone I honestly don't think anyone can stop him

3:58 yo this dude did a track with the remaining members of The Doors the only one missing was Jim Morrison how amazing is that. It's not like they were like yeah here take the track it was like no let's sit in the lab together and let's do this that's insane

Mama nem family first always I feel you bro tech tech 👋

Hopsins retirement was a joke, he didn't retire. Surprised away didn't know that.

2:18 yeah but I think I understand what he means that he wanted her to see it while he could see her if that makes any sense. I think I could understand that

Tech N9ne will always be AWESOME!!!

The 5 people who disliked this shit are the ones who are threatening his life

Too much respect to tech. My favorite rapper. Real ass nigga strait up

man great interview. Powerful.

If people are barely getting on tech check out the calm before the storm and the worst

Hopsin didn't retire. It was all a big lie. He couldn't even get a visa to move to Australia.

Wtf with the audio putting out like a pregger you video?

13:42 is proof of how good of a person he is. No matter how famous he gets he never forgets to respect the people around him. Maybe on of the best interviews I've seen
