stuff with soul, stuff that makes you think, stuff that makes you feel, stuff that makes you appreciate life.

Most cd's that I get, I can't just get into them. I have to listen to the cd a few times with headphones. Just listen to the cd, do nothing else. Then after I've fallen in love with the cd and am familiar with it, I'm ready to put it into my mix. I only buy a cd if I know that I'll still want to listen to it a week from now, and a month from now, and a year from now, and five years from now, etc. "And even after all my logic and my theory, I add a motherfucker so you ignant niggas hear me"-Lauryn Hill (Fugees)

Movies:

I love all the Scribble Jam DVDs and Def Poetry Jam. I love the hip-hop documentary DVDs (The Freshest Boys, Style Wars, Free-Style, Scratch). My favorite movie of all time is Shawshank Redemption. If I ever ask you and you don't know it will make me sad.

Television:

I don't watch tv anymore. I used to like, the Daily Show, Family Guy, Aqua Teen Hunger Force, Stand Up on Comedy Central, the Chappelle Show, that Japanese game show that's dubbed on Spike, late night stuff on Oxygen (damn near soft porn, and usually not as dull), Learning Channel, Discovery Channel, PBS/KCTS, Law and Order, old Nickelodeon is probably the best stuff in the universe.

Books:

Usually I was in to religious stuff, but now I'm taking a break from that. So I'm mostly reading comics again. I finally finished the Sandman series. I'm trying to get my hands on Universe X and Paradise X. The Sun is the best magazine of all time (I will buy you a subscription to prove it)

Heroes:
