Rappers Tech N9ne and Mad Child recorded 7 EPs and albums between them since their last visits to Winnipeg. That amount of new material would justify a show. No justification needed. Their fans are some of the most loyal and passionate around.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

By all accounts locals Drezus and Winnipeg\u2019s Most had great opening sets. Winnipeg\u2019s Most is one of the hardest hustling rap groups in Canada. Naturally that showed onstage. Midway through Mad Child\u2019s set he yelled \u201cI got one question for everybody in this fucking room! Who here is proud to be Canadian?!\u201d The crowd roared and immediately the melody from \u201cFuel Injected\u201d(from the Swollen Members album\u00a0Bad Dreams<\/em>) blasted from the speakers. I felt like busting out b-boy moves but that would have been ill-advised. The energy continued with the guitar riff-heavy \u201cWarrior\u201d followed by \u201cMonster\u201d and finally \u201cDickhead\u201d from his latest album\u00a0Dope Sick<\/em>.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Tech N9ne’s Strange Music labelmate Krizz Kaliko performed his song \u201cKill Shit\u201d with such energy that his rapid-fire delivery led to generous amounts of saliva spraying the mic. Soon after, Tech N9ne appeared and started off his set with \u201cLike Yeah\u201d from his 2008 album\u00a0Killer<\/em>. His \u201cTechnicians\u201d(an endearing term that refers to his loyal fans) went wild. One overzealous Technician had the unfortunate pleasure of kissing the floor after no one caught him after his crowd-surfing swan dive. \u201cAm I A Psycho\u201d was a fitting song during that sequence. A few moments later 3 large bras flew onstage after a suggestion by Tech N9ne. Red, leopard-print and a white lacy number. The bosom theme continued. A couple women who flashed the crowd definitely did not own any of the aforementioned bras. What could have been a better transition to \u201cAreola\u201d? Tech N9ne\u2019s catalogue is massive so many favourites like \u201cWorldwide Choppers,\u201d \u201cCaribou Lou\u201d and \u201cDemons\u201d were only given the two minute treatment.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

This hip hop show was by far the best one I\u2019ve experienced this year. The crowd, the performances and the energy were amazing. The show ended fittingly with the infamous Tech N9ne machine gun salute\u2026 with a bang!<\/p>\n
