The rapper has also written about his past drug use and other foibles. Tech N9ne noted the song Bite Me was inspired by a female who actually wanted him to bite her during sex. (He even apologized for being slightly late for his media interview because of a late night celebration the night before.) “I like women in my songs,” insisted Tech N9ne, who’s polite and soft-spoken on the phone. He also can’t stop writing about life as he knows it. The Kansas City, Mo., native did later admit, however, that he can’t make people like what they don’t like.

He and rappers Kendrick Lamar and ¡Mayday! appear in the song’s video to voice their disdain for people dissing their music. Tech N9ne was so stung by a music journalist’s criticism of his verse that he retaliated by writing Fragile. They may look tough and talk tough, but even rappers can get their feelings hurt. ![]()
