* CommonKnowledge: When it comes to "Dance with the Devil", some genuinely believe the song is autobiographical and that Tech truly is [[spoiler: one of the gang members who participated in gang-raping Billy Jacobs's mother]]. However [[https://www.brownpride.com/articles/article.asp?a=194 Tech actually stated this is not the case]] and the song itself was commentary on the treatment of women in our communities.

* BaseBreaker: One of ''the'' biggest examples within hip-hop. He's either one of the most important figures in underground hip-hop whose roughness around the edges lends some extra rawness to his music and who transcends the confines of conscious hip-hop by going beyond the street and looking to both history and world affairs, or he's a blowhard with no flow who blindly regurgitates a bunch of mindless conspiracy theories, historical namedrops, and pointless fifty-dollar words to woo easily-impressed listeners who won't care to notice that he's not actually saying anything of substance.

This isn't flamebait. Ask ANYONE who is seriously into hip-hop and 95% of them will either gush about him or go on about how he's the most overrated rapper alive.

He said it was because he realized the unfortunate implications that it was creating and decided to stop causing them by removing the language.
