Tech N9ne the number one independent rapper in the world rolls out his third collaboration album The Gates Mixed Plate. Tech’s last preceding album K.O.D. is one of my favorite rap albums because Tech emphasizes all of his personal pain in one album. You’re not going to see Weezy or T-Pain release anything like K.OD. Tech took a gamble with K.O.D. because it is completely outside anything mainstream and it was still very successful. Now Tech N9ne has sworn away with the darkness and going back to his party theme with Ollie Gates Mixed Plate but is it worth taking a piece of?
The Ollie Gates Mixed Plate is Tech N9nes worst album to date the overall party theme is not a great theme especially after K.O.D. There are many flaws with this album but the main ones are the beats and lack of strong lyrics. Tech clearly wants to be in the mainstream because every song is typical of every other rapper it go’s money, women, strip clubs, repeat and it is the formula throughout the entire album. Also a lot of the beats get on my nerves like the song “O.G.” were you here la la la la la la la throughout the entire song. I was excited for the song K.C. Tea but after you hear the song it will have most saying what happened to Caribou Lou? The return of the 816 boys in Pu Wah Wah is no were near as catchy or funny as Areola from Sickology 101.The saving grace on this album though is that Tech N9ne still has great flow and proves himself to be the best “Midwest rapper” still. Tech proves the flow is still sick in memorable songs like Jumping Jax, Loud, O.G. and the bonus track Whats Yo Psycho. Also it is good to see Brotha Lynch, Devin the Dude, and Bizzy Bone share the mic with Tech as his name attracts good rappers to work with. Overall this album is good but nothing amazing quite stands out about it and I fear for Tech if he tries to copy the formula for mainstream rap. Tech has already promised a solo album called all 6’s and 7’s and I can’t wait to see what else he comes out with.

Overall this album is good but nothing amazing quite stands out about it and I fear for Tech if he tries to copy the formula for mainstream rap. Sorry for being a grammar nazi, but that's a run-on sentence.
Tech N9ne, the number one independent rapper in the world ,rolls out his third collaboration album The Gates Mixed Plate.
Need to insert those commas that I put in bold
The saving grace on this album though is that Tech N9ne still has great flow and proves himself to be the best “Midwest rapper” still.
Use that as the opening sentence for a 3rd paragraph instead of having one giant 2nd paragraph.
It wasn't a terrible review, but I'd go back and run it through Microsoft Word or whatever you use to look for grammar mistakes.

Don't criticize Tech's change of pace from K.O.D.. He doesn't make one album then make the same album over and over, he raps about what he's experiencing, if he's partying, having lots of sex, doing lots of drugs, he's not going to make an album about how hard his life is. Its what happened from Anghellic-Absolute Power, he was really dark in the first one with the fast and aggressive rapping we love him for, he managed to put paranoia and anger in his songs on that album, which IMO was much better then K.O.D. (he really slowed down and at times his rhymes weren't thought out very well) then he left Jcor and made Absolute Power which was mostly a party album with some dark and serious content still.
Although I agree, Gates Mixed Plate maybe his worst album to date, at times I liked Krizz or Kutt more then I liked Tech, but for a album for him it really underperforms.

I was really disappointed with this album. I agree with the fact that it is very mainstream sounding and although it is still good rap by today's standards, I would rather listen to KOD, Anghellic or Sickology if I had to pick a collabos album
