1. Tell us about your craziest touring experience?
There’s a lot of them–Theres getting evicted from my apt for fighting my landlord and then deciding to use my rent money on an airplane ticket for my first tour of Europe. I could always come back and slave away later was my motto but you gotta go out and take chances while you can.—-then Theres rocking Norway in a tanktop and eating reigndeer meat–there’s the time My lil brother Murs jumped off the second story roof of a Arizona hotel into the pool and came inches from cracking his head—there’s the time I was in Germany and I was drunk and got out of the car in the middle of the Autobahn and started screaming at cars andd someone pulled over and tried to attack me with a bread roll–or the first time me and Lucky my Mystik Journeymen bandmate climbed Mt.Fuji on our first trip to Japan in 98–or the time I popped at Rosie Perez at one of my shows and we ran off to a bar and she bought me drinks with a wad full of cash–and she was HOT!! There was the time me and The Grouch, Lucky, and Bicasso were in The French Riviera and went to a hip hop show that was sponsored by the Junior communist party and they got into a big ass rumble with Paris B-Boys and demolished the whole venue-it looked like world war 3 in that bitch! –theres the time we went to Chico and did a show at the college and–well Im gonna leave that out til the court case is settled lololo–really Chico is dope and It’s so many stories from tour -Ive been in this business so long but those are just a few stories I came up with.
 
2. What type of college class would you’d most want to take and why?
