Tech N9ne Arrested for Posting Banners

Missouri-based rapper Tech N9ne took live tweeting to a new level yesterday, updating his Twitter page as he was arrested for vandalism. The rapper, born Aaron Yates, was nabbed for an outstanding warrant for illegally posting banners in Blue Springs, MO, going so far as to snap a picture of the arresting officer as he was hauled off in a police car.

'I'm getting arrested', he tweeted from his BlackBerry. Soon after, he posted a TwitPic from his business partner Travis O'Guin's phone, tweeting, 'From travs phone! They let me keep my phone but I only got one hand free.' He wrapped up his live updates with one last message, writing, 'I gotta go, they making me take off my shoes and belt.'

Tech N9ne ended up spending part of Wednesday in jail after the incident took place. He was originally stopped after testing O'Guin's Ferrari F430, launching the car from 0 to 70 mph in three seconds, prompting a Lee's Summit officer to pull him over. After the policeman ran his info, Tech N9ne was arrested, spending 22 minutes in jail before posting a $300 bond. O'Guin explained that both he and Tech were unaware of the warrant, claiming that fans most likely hung the posters and that they weren't in Blue Springs when the charges were filed. The pair plans on going to court today to clean up the mess.

The rapper is currently gearing up to release his eleventh studio album 'The Gates Mixed Plate', the third in his 'Collabos' series following 2009's 'Sickology 101'. The album, which features guest appearances from Kutt Calhoun, Brotha Lynch Hung, Devin the Dude, Jay Rock, Glasses Malone and more, is slated for release July 27.

Who would have thought, rap is considered music.

snick515 - it's MOOT, not "mute". "mute" means quiet or muffled. MOOT is the word you meant. and it's WE'RE americans, not "were". "were" means some thing that happened in the past, as in, "we WERE at the beach yesterday". WE'RE is a contraction of "we are".

just hadda point that out. i'm sorry, but EVERY one should KNOW HOW TO SPELL THE WORDS OF THEIR OWN FREAKIN' LANGUAGE. no one should be able to leave high school until they know how to spell and punctuate. that should be a law.

Sounds to me like this jerk wanted to arrested so put the punk in jail for a few years. Ithink he would learn a new meaning to the word rap. By the rap is not music it is talking (not very clearly) to a bunch of scratching and annoying noises.

It always amazes me how rap is mispelled. They always leave out the "c" at the beginning.

Of course, he's totally innocent, after all he only promotes illegal thinking and acts of cowardice through his rap music. Don't blame him, it's his adoring fans. Where I work, in downtown Portland, Oregon, USA, I see at least 50 drug deals a day and 99.9 percent of these deals are being initiated by a person of color. Kind of explains the arrest ratio, does it not? All I hear all night is rap music, blaring out to make all women into prostitutes and to do drive by shootings, and to hate the white man and any authority. Crack sales are up, and our pedo/homo mayor is down with that. Don't worry, be happy.

Hate his music but the charge sounds like a joke. Missouri? Big shock, probably filed by a few good ol' boys who think their old Western lawmen and can't understand "this darkey music them kids listen t'"

let me make this straight for everyone...There is no such thing as good music or bad music...But there is such thing as an opinion, so bashing somebody else for their opinion makes no sense.
