Hey Macklemore and Ryan Lewis, I am a big fan. I have a few questions I hope you'll answer (feel free to pick and choose, I realize there is a lot here)!

For Macklemore:

1. You often mention being sober, what type of sobriety do you uphold? Marijuana, all drugs, alcohol, ect.?

2. Are there any other Hip Hop scenes as vibrant as Seattle's? There's so much going on from such a variety of people, it's crazy good!

3. Do you have any advice for an inspiring hip hop artist? I've tried to write before but everytime I do I feel like its bad and sounds corny.

4. I know you don't like the label conscious, how would you describe yourself?

5. What do you think of the current landscape of Rap/Hip-Hop?

6. What was the process of being selected as an XXL freshmen like?

Ryan:

1. Thoughts on Boardwalk Empire?

2. You've wrote that you can't really read music, how does that work when you write parts for Owuor or for another instrument?

3. I've tried to produce, but it just sounds flat. What is your advice to producing quality sounds?

4. I really liked your work with Symmetry, do you have any plans to work with another artist soon?

5. Would you ever try rapping?

6. 'Pac vs Ferdinand is awesome.

Hey Mark! What was the casting process like when you landed the role of Luke Skywalker? Thanks!
