In an Interview with XXL Tech N9ne was asked what the highlight of his carrier was and he named the spot on Tha Carter IV and explained how thankful he was for this opportunity. So far i've only found a german source and I'm on the lookout for an english one and gonna post the link then
Haven't found the official XXL-article but this is similar: Plus it seems like he also recalled visiting Wayne on rikers to thank him:
"I can’t say that I’m not a Blood because I really—I grew up with these dudes and I’ve done things with these guys.”
As a result of Tech N9ne’s former gang ties, the Kansas City rapper says he was able to set up a visit with Lil Wayne when the Young Money emcee was serving time at Rikers Island.
“We’re well connected to a lot of good people that did a lot of crazy things back in the day…That’s how I got into Rikers to see Wayne,” Tech said. “It was a street connection…I think Flex asked him ‘who do you want to work with’ when he gets out and he said Andre 3000 and my man, Tech N9ne…To tell him ‘thank you’ for even saying my name. And he said ‘Man, I been on you since the Gang Related soundtrack, 98’…Then he said right after that the ‘Wake Up Show Anthem.’ That’s what he said.” (S: http://www.hiphopdx.com/m/index.php?s=news&id=27452)
