So Tech N9ne just released his newest album, and the 20th in his discography, Planet.

So after all these releases and after so much time in the rap game, does he still have what

it takes to make a great project?

Today I'll be answering that question, so guys, this is CDTVProductions, and let's

talk about this album.

(Intro: Tech N9ne "Bad JuJu" feat.

King ISO)

So I first heard Strange Reign yesterday, I didn't listen to it out when it came out

and I wanted to hear it before listening to this album, and Tech just didn't sound hugely

inspired on it.

It just hit me as majorly mediocre.

Not to mention, I know it was a collabos album, but there was a severe lack of Tech N9ne on

it.

And this album (drum roll please).... is a massive relief as it shows me that Tech N9ne

after all these years can still put out a brilliant project.

I don't think I've enjoyed a Tech N9ne album this much since Special Effects.

As soon as I finished the very first track, Habanero, I got really excited because it's

the first time I've heard Tech that motivated in a while.

And he pretty much carries this energy throughout the entire album.

His flows are stellar on every single track, his rhyming is impressive as ever, and pretty

much every track has a concept which I appreciate.

None of them to me feel like they're talking about nothing.

The concepts is something Tech usually does, but on his last few albums the concepts or

stories behind the tracks seemed less and less significant and meaningful.

Here they seem a lot more personal and worthwhile.

You've got tracks like Don't Nobody Want None, where Tech raps over an instrumental

that samples a song from the 80's which is fitting as it's dedicated to dance crews

and DJ's.

You've got Comfortable, which is one of my favorite songs on the album, with Tech

telling us which radio stations he likes to be interviewed by, and also telling us the

ones he doesn't like so much, specifically naming Hot 97 after they caused a bit of a

rift between him and ICP after they interviewed Tech.

(Clip: Tech N9ne "Comfortable").

This is also touched on more on the song My Fault, which also has a very good second verse

where Tech detailed a time where he played his song Areola live, and he actually got

flashed by a young girl in the audience, and this show was being filmed.

The mother of that child saw the footage and tried to file CP charges against Tech, even

though there was no way that Tech could have known the child was underage.

So now, he no longer risks performing Areola live, he just doesn't do it any more.

There's just so many stories on here, and i haven't learned this much about Tech from

an album in a while.

It's a very substantive project.

Not to mention, you have some of his most musically interesting and beautiful music

on here.

The perfect example of this is the song Brightfall.

The variety of instruments used on here create this standout track, with this very powerful

choir style hook.

On top of that it also has a beat switch that still manages to keep up the intensity of

the song.

I also particularly enjoyed the tracks that Tech referred to as the Wind Down Section,

these were the 4 tracks at the end of the album.

Very fittingly named.

All these songs have this really kinda relaxed feeling to them, and it's a good way to

close out the album, its kinda letting you down after all the craziness and wildness

that's throughout the rest of the album.

My only complaint there is whilst the final track We Won't Go Quietly is good, to me

it sounds very similar to a song Tech has already made called Believe, which was found

on his Something Else album.

It was a good closer to the album, and obviously its very suitable for the concept of this

album, you know, Peace Youth Unit Neutralising Earth which is what his planet name, Planet

PYUNE, stands for, but I felt it wasn't fantastic because I feel like I've heard

it before.

And you know what, while I'm talking about complaints, I might as well talk about some

other issues this album has, because as with every single album in the world, its not perfect.

One thing that bugged me was that there are quite a few songs on here that just have one,

just one, problem or bad musical choice that just drags the songs down as a whole and makes

them so much harder to listen to.

Like during the hook of Sho Nuff, why is that piano there?

I really want to like the hook on that song, but the piano just sounds wrong and creates

this uneasy feeling which it doesn't sound like the song was going for, it's quite

an upbeat song, feel good song.

And the way that piano just shifts up a key, it does not sound right.

(Clip: Tech N9ne "Sho Nuff").

Then there's Not A Damn Thing, where it starts off as this uplifting piano based track,

but then in the verses it switches up to this hyped up, guitar based beat and the change

is too jarring in my opinion.

I much preferred the piano based segments of that song.

There's also that obnoxious bleeping sound on the track Fresh Out!, that makes it unlistenable

for me.

And while most of the features on here are fantastic, you know you've got King ISO

ripping up his verse on Bad JuJu, Krizz Kaliko with his amazing hook on Red Byers, Snow tha

Product killing it on How I'm Feelin', all these great features, there's one feature

that was really bad, and that was Y2 on No Reason (The Mosh Pit Song).

His hook on that thing is hilarious, and it's not supposed to be.

(Clip: Tech N9ne "No Reason (The Mosh Pit Song) feat.

Y2).

It's the worst part of the song, and I don't understand it because he actually has a good

verse later on in the same track.

I do have some complaints, and ideally I would remove a few tracks, but saying that, this

still was Tech's most solid album in the last few years.

He really sounds like he was trying with this one, each song has a bunch of layers, and

it's only on certain tracks that one of those layers doesn't work.

It is a shame when that happens, because it stopped me from really enjoying tracks like

Sho Nuff, but it doesn't happen too often.

I think it would be cool if he utilized the Planet concept more, but the whole album works

just fine being loosely based around this concept.

I'm gonna give Planet by Tech N9ne an 8.8/10.

I slightly lost my interest in his music after Dominion and Strange Reign, but I am back

in my Tech N9ne zone after this project.

A great return to form here.

Trump's Brand is Ayn Rand - Duration: 4:57.

Donald Trump once said he identified with Ayn Rand's character, Howard Roark,

in, "The Fountainhead," an architect so upset that a housing project

he'd designed didn't meet specifications, he had it dynamited.

Others in Trump's circle were influenced by Rand.

"Atlas Shrugged" was said to be the favorite book of Rex Tillerson,

Trump's Secretary of State.

Rand also had a major influence on Mike Pompeo, Trump's CIA chief.

Trump's first nominee for Secretary of Labor, Andrew Puzder,

said he spent much of his free time reading Rand.

The Republican leader of the House of Representatives,

Paul Ryan, required his staff to read Rand.

"I grew up reading Ayn Rand. It's inspired me so much

that it's required reading in my office for all my interns and my staff."

Uber's founder and former CEO, Travis Kalanick, has described himself as

a Rand follower. Before he was sacked, he applied many of her ideas to Uber's

code of values, and even used the cover art for Rand's book,

<i>The Fountainhead</i>, as his Twitter avatar.

So who is Ayn Rand and why does she matter?

Ayn Rand, best known for her two highly popular novels still widely read today

<i>The Fountainhead</i>, published in 1943, and <i>Atlas Shrugged</i>, in 1957,

didn't believe there was a common good.

She wrote that selfishness is a virtue, and altruism-

evil that destroys nations.

When Ran offered these ideas, they seemed quaint, if not far fetched.

Anyone who lived through the prior half century witnessed our

interdependence, through depression and war.

And after the war we used our seemingly boundless prosperity

and generosity to finance all sorts of public goods

schools and universities, a national highway system, and healthcare

for the aged and poor. We rebuilt war-torn Europe.

We sought to guarantee the civil rights and voting rights

of African Americans. We opened doors

of opportunity to women. Of course there was a common good.

We were living it.

But then, starting in the late 1970's, Rand's views gained ground.

She became the intellectual godmother of modern-day American conservatism.

This utter selfishness, this contempt for the public, this win-at-any-cost mentality,

is eroding American life.

Without adherence to a set of common notions about right and wrong,

we're living in a jungle where only the strongest, cleverest, and most

unscrupulous get ahead, and where

everyone must be wary in order to survive.

This is not a society. It's not even a civilization

because there's no civility at its core. It's a disaster.

In other words, we have to understand who Ayn Rand is

so we can reject her philosophy and dedicate ourselves

to rebuilding the common good.

The idea of the "Common Good" was once widely understood

and accepted in America.

I mean after all, the U.S. Constitution was designed for "We the people"

seeking to "promote the general welfare"

not for "me the selfish jerk seeking as much wealth and power as possible."

Yet today you find growing evidence of its loss

CEO's who gouge their customers, loot their corporations and defraud investors.

Lawyers and accountants who look the other way when

corporate clients play fast and loose, who even collude with them to skirt the law.

Wall Street bankers who defraud customers and investors.

Film producers and publicists who choose not to see that a powerful

movie mogul they depend on is sexually harassing and abusing young women.

Politicians who take donations (really bribes) from wealthy donors

and corporations to enact laws their patrons want

or shutter the government when they don't get the partisan results they seek.

And a president of the United States who repeatedly lies about important issues,

refuses to put his financial holdings into a blind trust, and then

personally profits off of his office, and foments racial and ethnic conflict.

The Common Good consists of our shared values about

what we owe one another as citizens who are bound together

in the same society. A concern for the common good

keeps the common good in mind - is a moral attitude.

It recognizes that we're all in it together.

If there is no common good, there is no society.

Not All Logic is Logical - Duration: 2:51.

So, I recently heard a radio announcer on Mix FM confidently giving advice to

listeners saying that if you check in for your flight early, you might have

your bags to be one of the last to come out on the carousel when you arrive.

Conversely, if you check in for your flight late, your bags are going to be

one of the last to be loaded on the plane and therefore the first to come

out and you're gonna get it on the carousel early. So, the conclusion was

check in late for your flight, so that your bags are going to be one of the

first to come out of the carousel and you can leave the airport early. It's a

conclusion based on a logical assumption it makes sense and likely, the radio

announcer would have experienced it when he checked in late and happened to have

his back come out early. But I do know a thing or two about

airline operations and this actually is not the case because there is no linear

path that goes straight from the conveyor belt at the check-in counter

right to the plane. The bags that go down that conveyor belt, do not go straight to

the plane they reach a staging area, and the bags keep coming up. And later

the baggage handlers regrouped the bags put them on the trucks that you see

carrying bags and then they head off to the plane. Because it doesn't make sense

to do multiple trips of the plane. And at the staging area whether your bag comes

first or it comes later, the order is not necessarily followed in that sequence.

Likewise, when it gets loaded on the baggage truck with the multiple

compartments, it isn't always the case that the first compartment gets loaded

up first. Because it depends on when and how the the baggage train approaches the

aircraft. Whether they can start loading from the front or sometimes they start

loading from the back. And so, it really is random. There isn't a rule that says

what happens at the check-in counter will necessarily flow all the way to the

arrivals point. So, this is a good reminder for me and I hope it is for you

too. What assumption are we holding on to? The beliefs just

because it sounds logical or we may have had a few limited data points of

experience, but on reflection is it necessarily really true.
