What type of things do you look for when producing a song? What kind of things inspire you when writing your own songs?

What was that one "spark" that got you involved in the political movement? What are you hoping to see from your work when President-Elect Obama takes office?

Thanks!!!

I see that you are starring in your first movie(X-Men origins: Wolverine). Where you nervous to be on the set of such a highly anticipated film? Do you intend to star in more movies in the future?

Do you think the presidency of Barack Obama will change hip hop --- change the focus, change the message? Do you think changes in hip hop could result in better progress for young black men?

thank you,

To submit to the requisite "Exposit how long you've been a fan" cliche, I've been bumpin to you and the rest of the Peas since Behind the Front. Don't think I was no older than 7 or 8 when I first heard "Joints and Jam" and it hasn't left my head since. Still bump to that ish, albeit on an iPod nowadays. You guys were so soulful back then. Though you're stuff's a bit more pop-friendly/club banger nowadays (as if that's a bad thing) y'all still speak from the soul and I truly can still hear it. However, at times, it seems like I'm the only one that feels that way. Guess what I'm tryna get at is how do you feel about all these often pugnacious individuals (and that's puttin it politely) who, thanks to the double-edged beauty of the internet, relentlessly accuse and label you guys (among other things) sell-outs? I mean yeah you guys r mainstream as hell now, worldwide, and backpackers is the last word I'd use to describe, but I feel that there's just something one has to do to "qualify" as sellout which as far as I'm concerned y'all have yet to do. At the same time, what's so bad about mainstream? If you look back at all, could the Peas have accomplished all these great things you've done wih the level of reconizability and resources you all had back then? I just wanted to know you feel about it all. Thanks again for all the amazing music u and the rest of the Peas have given us these past coupla years. Hope you and you're loved ones have a Merry Christmas. Or Kwanzaa. Sike naw. ?

I saw your interview on the Tavis Smiley show and was inspired by your passion for social justice and simplicity in making the most of every opportunity in life.
