Dig, for some reason. The lyrics are really personal to me. I love it.

10. How many times have you seen 23 (Lupe Fiasco) live?
Once. He played a show at my school at the end of Freshman year. He was AWESOME. Even though the atmosphere was terrible. All the kids who think they're the shit because they listen to like, Biggie and 2Pac came, and they were trying to act like thugs inbetween songs, and Lupe did a moment of silence, since this was right after the Virginia Tech shootings, and these kids were yelling, and he looked up and was like "Shut the fuck up please. Just get out. I don't want you ruining something like this". It was really funny, just because of the way he handled the situation.

11. What is the first song you ever heard by 26 (Ice Cube)?
My boss played me Robin Lench and Givin' Up The Nappy Dugout at work like, two years ago. At least, that's the first like, memorable stuff I heard by him.

L.A. Woman, hands down.

No, sadly. I heard they put on an amazing live show.

Aequitas, Veritas. It's such a beautiful instrumental piece.

Hm... I'd have to go with Six Days at the Bottom of the Ocean. It's so beautiful and like... guh. I dunno.

19. What is the first song you ever heard by 25 (10 Years)?

Fucking 10 Years, man... No one EVER knows who they are, I'm amazed. I totally saw Mars Volta too when they came here with the Peps a couple of years ago, it was great stuff.

10 Years is fuckin' awesome. I'm a little upset I've never had the chance to see them live. Same for Volta
