1* SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic: A lot, but most fans will agree on "Dance with the Devil" being one of his best songs.'
2* BaseBreakingCharacter: 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.
3* 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.
4* SugarWiki/FunnyMoments:
5** "Beef and Broccoli."
6---> "Being a vegan does not make you a revolutionary, it's a dietary choice."
7** "The Message and the Money"
8** Most of "Goonies Never Die"
9---> "Woah, alright man, who's been talking to you yo?"
10** "Rich Man's World (1%)"
11** The reference to "watching a porno on 56k" in "Harlem Renaissance". May be a case of WhatAreRecords for younger listeners.
12* SugarWiki/HeartwarmingMoments: Using his money to create an orphanage in Kabul is pretty cool.
13* MisaimedFandom: For some reason Ron Paul fans seem to love him, despite the fact Technique is an outspoken Marxist and on the complete other side of the political spectrum.
14* NightmareFuel: "Dance With the Devil" is widely considered one of the most horrifying songs ever made, with ''good'' reason: [[spoiler: Raping your mother just to be part of the lifestyle you so desire is disturbing and uncomfortable]].
15* SignatureSong: "Dance with the Devil"
