Good question.

It USED to be important to me, but with the way everything's going now, I have more important things in my life. There was a time when the culture was the best thing in the world to me but now my views have greatly changed.

The only thing that I never did was the graffiti part. I even used to bboy years ago (who didn't?) but the DJing, MCing, and now Producing are the ones I admired the most.

What about you? :headscrat

For me the culture is a very important part of may life. I try to preserve it, and be part of it. The one thing I never did, was B-Boying, but at least I'm the Dj of a B-Boy Group, so I do take part in that thing too.

But maybe I'm just too young. I mean someday ´there migth be another thing in my life, but now...

I never deejayed a lot at partys, but I do alot of scratching. I'm not a Turntableist, but I like to practise with battle-records. Juggles are my favourites! And I try to ad scratches to everym beat I do, how 'bout you, do you like scratches in beats?

Fo sho'! Scratching is dope. I competed in the 1998 Montreal DMC and it was amazing. I love scratching, but beat juggling is my strong point too!

I didn't place at that competition. I entered again in 1999 but my needles got damaged the day of the competition so I pulled out. I entered a bunch of other comps around that time (ITF and local ones) but each time my job got in the way!

I like to juggle just regular tracks. Sometimes I'll juggle breakbeats too, but I just prefer pulling out everything. My best juggles are Rap/R&B or Rap/Disco. Don't front! The shit works. LOL. I wish I could let you hear some tracks I have but I don't have them with me on this computer.

Are you entering any competitions?
