Tech N9ne is known for his dynamic rhyme schemes and speed rap abilities, known as the Chopper style. Soren Baker of VH1 states that his techniques “showcase his wide-ranging, mind-blowing flows.” Baker characterizes Tech N9ne‘s earlier work as “apocalyptic music, which discussed abortion and infidelity as much as his rapping prowess.”
Allmusic reviewer Jason Birchmeier calls Tech N9ne‘s style “bizarre hardcore rap.”
Tech N9ne stated that he purposely creates flow patterns in order to sound like a percussion while he raps. After hearing an instrumental, he would come up with different kinds of patterns and then “fill in” the actual lyrics.
Tech N9ne says that he is influenced by old school hip-hop and specifically cites N.W.A, Public Enemy, Boogie Down Productions, Eric B. & Rakim, Schoolly D, and Just-Ice.
He is also interested in other genres of music, and lists The Doors, Jim Morrison, Led Zeppelin, Elton John, AC/DC, Metallica, Floetry, OutKast, CeeLo Green, and Gnarls Barkley as influences.
He has generally remarked, “I love beautiful music, beautiful music no matter what type”.
