1. How did you get into 29? (Jurassic 5)
An old school friend used to play Power In Numbers constantly, and I liked them immediately
2. What's the first song you ever heard by 22? (Wu-Tang Clan)
Gravel Pit. Was constantly on the radio (albeit a watered-down version)
3. What's your favorite lyric by 33? (Jimmy Carr)
Well he's a stand-up comedian, so I'll put his best line instead: "Jesus died for your sins. Cunt."
4. How did you get into 49? (Blu & Exile)
Funnily enough, it was this site. A lot of people on my friends list had Blu & Exile in their charts. I was curious as to who they were, and was told that it was a damn near essential album.
5. How many albums by 13 do you own? (J Dilla)
Ruff Draft, The Shining, Donuts and Jay $tay Paid (which I hated) and Fan-Tas-Tic Vol. 1 in his Slum Village days.
6. What is your favorite song by 50? (Ugly Duckling)
I only own Bang For The Buck, and my favourite track off that album is The End Of Time.
7. Is there a song by 39 that makes you sad? (King Geedorah)
Erm, not really.
8. What is your favorite song by 15? (Gang Starr)
There's quite a few. Off the top of my head, Soliloquy Of Chaos, Check The Technique and Mass Appeal.
9. What is your favorite song by 5? (MF DOOM)
Red and Gold or Doomsday
10. Is there a song by 6 that makes you happy? (A Tribe Called Quest)
Had this exact same question in my other journal, so I'll be boring and give the exact same answer: Electric Relaxation, as perfect a hip-hop track as you could wish for.
11. What is the worst song by 40? (Radiohead)
Haven't heard a bad track by them yet.
12. What is your favorite song by 10? (Pete Rock & C.L. Smooth)
You probably already know the answer to this, but I also really love Carmel City and In The Flesh.
13. What is a good memory you have involving 30? (Shape Of Broad Minds)
Hearing Craft Of The Lost Art for the first time, and being blown away by it.
14. What is your favorite song by 38? (Talib Kweli)
Solo, probably Get By or The Proud. With Reflection Eternal, Expansion Outro
15. Is there a song by 19 that makes you happy? (Y Society)
Good Communication. Sounds like an old-school track.
16. Is there a song by 25 that makes you sad? (Viktor Vaughn)
See question 7. I don't think DOOM's tracks are meant to make you feel sad. Bemused, yes, but not sad.
17. What is the first song you ever heard by 23? (Little Brother)
The Yo-Yo
18. What's your favorite lyric by 11? (Nas)
There are quite a few, but I'll go with: "And I'm amped up, they locked the champ up, even my brain's in handcuffs."
19. Who is a favorite member of 1? (Atmosphere)
Can't really say. Slug's a great rapper, and Ant's a gifted producer.
20. Is there a song by 14 that makes you happy? (One Be Lo)
Enecs Eht No Kcab, brilliant is the only word to describe it.
21. What is a good memory involving 27? (InI)

22. What is your favorite song by 16? (Madvillain)
I'd have to go for Fancy Clown.
23. What is the first song you ever heard by 47? (Deltron 3030)
Positive Contact. It was on one of the Tony Hawk games.
24. What is your favourite album by 18? (The Pharcyde)
I think Bizarre Ride just shades Labcab.
25. What is your favorite song by 21? (DOOM)
Under his current persona, either Gazzillion Ear or Supervillainz (feat. Slug)
26. What is the first song you ever heard by 26? (Digable Planets)
Rebirth Of Slick, which was on a hip-hop compilation a friend used to own
27. What is your favorite album by 3? (Common)
Most people say Like Water For Chocolate or Resurrection, but my favourite album is One Day It'll All Make Sense, so underrated.
28. What is you favorite song by 2? (CunninLynguists)
Seasons (feat. Masta Ace) Great track charting the rise and fall of hip-hop, with a killer beat from RJD2

Reality Check. Great first track don't you agree?
30. What is your favorite song by 8? (Blackalicious)

32. Is there a song by 44 that makes you happy? (Quasimoto)
MHB's. I love that Kool and the Gang sample
33. How did you get into 12? (CYNE)
Again, thanks to this site. They were appearing as "similar artists" on a lot of stuff I like, so I thought I'd check them out.
34. What is the worst song by 45? (Black Sheep)
You stumped me, A Wolf In Sheep's Clothing is almost flawless in my opinion
35. What was the first song you ever heard by 34? (DANGERDOOM)
Old School (feat. Talib Kweli). Incredibly, I heard this on Radio 1, a station that wouldn't know good hip-hop if it slapped them in the face!
36. What was the first song you ever heard by 48? (Gorillaz)
Clint Eastwood, like everyone else
37. How many times have you seen 42 live? (Organized Konfusion)
None, and it'll probably stay that way. Would love to see Pharoahe live though.
38. What is your favourite song by 36? (Slum Village)
The Look Of Love
39. What was the first song you ever heard by 28? (OutKast)
It was actually Miss Jackson, their first real mainstream track (in the UK anyway). I was told that their older material was far better, and lo and behold it is!
40. What is your favorite album by 7? (Mos Def)
Had this exact same question in my other journal. Black On Both Sides.

Personal Journals. Quality album

Either Let Me Watch or G.M.C.
44. What is a good memory you have involving 46? (The Foreign Exchange)
I've only had Connected for a couple of months, so I guess I don't have a good memory (besides listening to and enjoying it)

The Coolest, which is the most played song on my iPod.
46. Is there a song by 9 that makes you happy? (De La Soul)

I love all their albums, but Things Fall Apart is my favourite.
48. Who is your favorite member of 37? (Eminem)
Well he's a one-man show, but I don't even like him at the moment (everything post-The Eminem Show has been a bit poor)
49. What is the first song you ever heard by 43? (Cannibal Ox)
The F-Word, on another user's radio station. It was enough to persuade me to buy The Cold Vein, which is my favourite album at the moment
50. What is your favorite song by 20? (Jay-Z)
Dead Presidents II
