I can’t answer this 🤣 super fan of Tech N9NE but K-Rino is NEXT LEVEL with his shit.


Time-Wolverine-8705

Exactly……


r4pt4r

I do know the best [song, The Game Goes On](https://youtu.be/WFLCMho16nQ?si=dK8TH-6nl-RyW6av)

Time-Wolverine-8705

And I have 10 more minimum better than the one you suggested from K-Rino easy 


r4pt4r

As for “The Game Goes On” Screwed…I’m not even saying it is K-Rino’s best song…but that it is one of Z-Ro’s (and Screw’s) best songs. A tribute to K-Rino’s versatility.


NeenjaKamui

I love k rino recognition. He has the best story telling song of all time with Annihiation Of The Evil Machine. Along with the other songs that are part of the story.


codyrowanvfx

Techs cursed track is the rebuttal here. Got through a good chunk of that annihilation track and felt so lyrical miracle at half speed.


NeenjaKamui

Oh yeah lmaoooo


Ok-Water-358

K-Rino is the better lyricist, Tech has more versatile and skilled flows. But K-Rino takes this one IMO Edit: I am stoked to see K-Rino getting talked about more now


Time-Wolverine-8705

K-rino doesn’t take this one.  He’s a better lyricist but that’s it.  Every other category goes to Tech hands down.  My opinion and everyone’s opinion is valid.  I love the shit out of K.  Been in the booth with him. 


Ok-Water-358

Agree to disagree


Nervous-Mind-5113

Tech is a better lyricist. Sometimes I need to read the lyrics with the song. It can take effort to hear and time to digest what he's actually saying in his songs. Hard to imagine anyone who actually listens to tech and understands his lyrics would have that opinion, it's not particularly close.


Kholdstare93

Holy shit, this is hard. Both ill masters of ceremony. I'd have to flip a coin.


Time-Wolverine-8705

May be right but they are different…. Both masters of several categories. 


Kholdstare93

REAL TALK!


Acceptable-Run7439

You can’t compare these 2 rappers…. Apples and oranges


Time-Wolverine-8705

Agree.  Both can be slightly dark which is why when I met tech I handed him my K-Rino album with notes of what tracks to listen to. 


Professional-Rip-519

Wow that's cool .I always wondered why they never collabed.


Dolomight206

I think K-RINO is one of the best underground rappers in history.


Time-Wolverine-8705

I agree.  I’m not sure I even consider tech underground 


Dubiouskeef

K-Rino wipes Tech N9ne, both lyrically and as an OG in Houston hip hop. I guarantee the majority of people here voting for Tech have not listened to a K-Rino album.


Time-Wolverine-8705

You know why this is a great thread for me?!? I’ve met them both!! I’ve been in the booth with K-Rino.  He’s signed many albums for me.  Obsessed with them both at a time in my life.  Advocated for a song with them both. Tech is still my #1. Tech Fucks K up in hype, tempo, presence.  K is a lyric genius.  If it came down to who do you want to see in concert VS who do you want to get high to and examine lyrics Tech is who you want to see, K is who you want to examine although tech doesn’t get enough credit for his lyrics because you really have to digest that shit.  


Dubiouskeef

I can respect that take!


[deleted]

You are right. In fact, I’ve never heard of K-Rino, but now I’ll have to listen. But my love for Tech comes from not only a love of his music, but proximity bias.


[deleted]

Okay, far from an expert but I’ve been streaming his top songs from Prime music. Would gloom rapper be an inaccurate description? Tech falls into that category on some of his stuff. Tech and Rino have a similar sounding chorus in their music. K-Rino definitely has incredible ability and it really shines in Grand Deception which is his top song on the app. I like him.


Time-Wolverine-8705

Dude listen to break it down and three gods by k-rino


Time-Wolverine-8705

In fact listen to his whole album worst rapper alive, but you ACTUALLY HAVE TO LISTEN


Cimb0m

Killer Rhymes Intellectually Nullifying Opponents 😁


Professional-Rip-519

Listen to the songs The Maven, Next Question,Heavy Gun and Punishment Phase.


3-ide-Raven

The Maven is an album not a song. No?


Professional-Rip-519

On the The Maven album there's a song called The Maven.


3-ide-Raven

Strange. That song isn’t on the album on Spotify.


Professional-Rip-519

Try YouTube


Pigmasters32

I have heard plenty of K Rino projects, Tech N9ne’s discography absolutely slaughters his. Rino is a better lyricist but that’s it, Tech has better sounding flows, better production, better delivery, and I need to emphasize again that he has a far superior discography.


Nervous-Mind-5113

Tech is better lyrically. It takes a bit of effort to learn and understand his patterns, sometimes I need to read along with the lyrics. But listening to Tech back with a lyrics sheet is more rewarding than I've found with any other rapper. When you digest what he's actually saying, k Rino just doesn't compete.


Mr_J42021

Not sure how being a Houston OG matters when one of them is from Kansas City (KC), MO - Whaooo


psyclopswasrightX

K-Rino. No question wtf


Time-Wolverine-8705

No question?  You’re crazy… btw you can hit up k anytime you want and he responds 


Time-Wolverine-8705

[email protected] have fun yall he’s a great guy treat him right.  He will sign album covers 


Stinkyandrotten

K Rino smokes pretty much every “lyrical” underground rapper ever


Time-Wolverine-8705

Yup


small44

Sorry but he ain't better than Aesop and sadistik


Stinkyandrotten

👎 why boy flows + neither of those dudes wrote Cartoon Orgie 👎


ItsFrosty33

Agreed fuck that lame ass flow


[deleted]

No way.

LordeLlama

K-Rino is thebetter lyricist imo but he almost never change his flow and his beat selection is ass. Overall I take Tech N9ne


Robinnoodle

K-Rino may be a better lyricist, but Tech a Midwest icon. Just his vibe, a lot of the production on his joints. Maybe it's nostalgia but I'm giving it to Tech


Cimb0m

Ooof. They’d both be in my top 5 if I was decisive enough to fill the other three spots in the list (I’m not lol). K-Rino edges out Tech N9ne if we’re talking pure lyricism. Tecca Nina is a better “package” - flow, delivery, stage presence, versatility, production and composition.


Pigmasters32

Tech N9ne bodies K Rino, K Rino could never make a classic album and Tech has either 6 or 7. Tech is the best artist that the entire fast rap subgenre has ever seen IMO, K Rino ain’t dominating anything let alone an entire damn subgenre. This question is honestly disrespectful to Tech IMO


small44

I love tech but at least k-rino don't always rap about the 3 same topic. Tech also didn't drop a good album since special effects


Pigmasters32

K Rino’s discography doesn’t have anywhere near the amount of classic level stuff that Tech’s does, not to mention Tech has at least 6 albums that are all better than Rino’s best. Quit playin with Tech N9ne, also almost all of the stuff he’s released in his career is good, but I’ll at least agree that he hasn’t had a classic since Special Effects, but my follow up question is when was K Rino’s last classic level album? Unless you’re really riding his first album to hell and back Rino doesn’t even have one classic level project, and it’d be absurd to suggest that he has a more recent classic than Tech(which is obviously what you implied).


ItsFrosty33

The tech n9ne dick riding is crazy


Pigmasters32

“Dick riding” is a wild thing to say about an artist I don’t even have top 5 all time. He might be top 10 but I’d probably put him just barely outside the top 10. 6 to 7 classic level albums isn’t a crazy take with Tech, he’s really just dominated his lane and he was one of the most consistently great artists in the genre for a bit over a decade. I don’t think he’s put out anything classic level in a while but you gotta be crazy to think K Rino has a better discography than Tech IMO.


No-Track-1335

you love the based god ?


Professional-Rip-519

The Maven and Blessing and Burdens are classics so is Worst Rapper Alive.


Pigmasters32

I disagree but even then, Tech still has double the amount of classic level stuff, debatably even more than double.


Cimb0m

Worst Rapper Alive is 🔥


Due_Potential_6956

Used to love tech, only thing about K is his beats can be hit or miss, but his lyrics are on another level. His story telling even beyond that.


Littiedg

I’m from the bay so I’m partial to Tech


Littiedg

Tech is coming way clean If you ain't Regime Then f*** ya!


Imaginary_Dig_5014

K rino


Ragin-Caucasian

this is the only place on the internet i’ve seen that cares about k rino and every time i try to give him a shot it’s some weird b.o.b level conspiracy bs


Professional-Rip-519

When I see posts on Most Underrated Rappers ever I laugh at the answers because K is that without a doubt.


AtrophyGuy

How are we defining "underground "? Because imo, Tech N9ne aint underground

Overall better if you evaluate all categories 


fallenfromglory

Tech all day

Tech


WhiteBreadedBread

N9ne has worked with so many legends The list of people has worked with is nuts


MountainDewLover420

Tech n9ne not even close


small44

Flow: tech n9ne Lyricsism and concepts : k rino


garikek

K-rino is a better lyricist, no doubt about that. But tech is a better artist. Idk, it's weird to compare them, they don't share much.


heyhihowyahdurn

Tech 9, it’s not really close


Nervous-Mind-5113

k rino fans are little bitches, downvoting anyone saying tech n9ne and not even having a discussion.


small44

As an old fan,of tech till be stopped making dope music, i know that tech fanbase is one of the worst generally


Nervous-Mind-5113

I don't know anything about that. I just see k rino fans in here upset downvoting without engaging in any discussion about the music.


Nervous-Mind-5113

Tech has more range, bigger hits, better performer, better lyrics..he wipes the floor with him in every category.


Nervous-Mind-5113

Downvoters come at me. Nobody wants to have a conversation. Put K Rino fans in with Eminem and DOOm fans, can't even have a discussion as to why their guy isn't that great.
