“I've always been like a black hippie.” — Tech N9ne Quote

I've always been like a black hippie.

It's difficult to stay relevant for many years, but I've somehow managed to do so. I'm honest and provocative.

I did something that I told people around me never to do, which was, pay a psychiatrist. Why pay a psychiatrist when you can just come to me? I can help you with something going on in your life; even if I know nothing about you, I can possibly help you. That's just me being cocky like I am.

You have to distance yourself from hate, period.

I'm a different type of rapper. I work more than the average rapper.

I'm a little bit of a hippie at heart, so I always wear things that are comfortable and flowing.

My hair is way, way long. I've hitchhiked across the country a zillion times. I've ridden in every car. I was never a hippie. It takes more than long hair.

When I was eight, a hippie guy taught me how to meditate and gave me this scarf I was supposed to wear when I meditated. I still have it; it's probably one of the items that mean most to me.

I'm a bit of a hippie.

I live with some of my best friends from high school, very commune-like, in my house. It's my hippie way of life.
