To all my people out there - who do YOU think is the best rapper/MC of all time?!

I don't know about the best, but Grand Master Flash is a big influence. I like the idea of rap being a type of social verbal graffiti, like Public Enemy.

Ask me anything

How do you feel about other people wearing your vale tudo shorts?

Well, I'm not materialistic about it or anything. It's better than having to deal with them naked, don't you think?

How long could you last without your mobile phone?

Aw man, my Droid X is a great device. I used to spend all kinds of money on books and lectures, cd's and videos, film and development. This thing does it all. I'm working it constantly about 12 hours a day. The PHONE is actually the weakest part of it.

So if you don't talk much, like me, but have free exploratory time to fill, I recommend it.

Harry Potter opens today. If you were going to cast a magic spell, what spell would you cast?

I'd want a magic gi that dries like Marty Mcfly's jacket in Back To The Future 2. Although... I guess I just really need science for that. Get to it, True Fightgear.

Ask me anything

What's the craziest thing that happens in your hometown?

Maybe the hillbilly Pro Wrestling designed by the locals. At one of their "Audience Bring Your Own Weapons" nights, I got to hit somebody with a cereal box full of dog turds and fire ants.
