I am Ubiquitous, one half of hip hop duo CES Cru, signed to Tech N9ne's Strange Music label - Ask Me Anything!

Mayday collab is coming very soon, we just did this joint with them called "One Wing" .... it's dope!!

Hey Ubi, I'm sitting right next to you and I was just wondering how your coffee tastes?

it tastes..... strange

Hey Ubi! Why is your guys combination so uncommon it caused a company to covet you and cover your costs while cousins came at you?

TOTES OBVI LOL

Hi everybody. Lets do this

Hey Ubi have you and Godemis considered doing collabs with artists outside of Strange Music, like say Run The Jewels?

THAT WOULD BE DOPE. Been an El-P fan since FUNCRUSHER

2015 plans.... We have a tour coming up starting June 10th

Read any good comics lately? Favorite titles/authors/artists?

Right now I'm reading Locke and Key, it's so dope!

Hey Ubiquitous! Thanks a ton for doing this AMA. Your line "Life's 10% what happens to you, the other 90% is all attitude" has had a great impact on how I carry myself throughout life and how I handle situations. My question is, are there any lyrics like this for you that have affected your outlook on life or your mentality?

"Actions have reactions don't be quick to judge, you may not no the hardships people don't speak of" RIP GURU

Hey Ubi! Huge fan! If you had to fight 100 duck-sized horses, or 1 horse-sized duck, which would you choose?

Is there a possibility of a Twiztid Collaboration coming in the future ?

Favorite E3 ubiquitin ligase?

Hey Ubi!

Been a huge fan of Ces Cru since the early days. Got to see you guys play in Charleston a few years ago. Incredible! Thanks for all the good music you two have put out.

Anyways, I know you enjoy playing video games and I've always wondering what your favorite game was?

Thanks for taking the time out to do this ama!

love tekken, love mariokart, love killing everybody on team stone and those mayday boyz on call of duty. Zelda and Mario all day, Final Fantasy VII.... should I go on?

Your collaboration with Angel Davenport on Codename: Ego Stripper was amazing, any plans to do more music with her? Related question, what would be your dream collab?

I LOVE working with Angel Davenport, das my boo thang!! I can't wait to do another one with her

[deleted]

pause

What is the backstory in the Ces Cru logo? Also will there be another solo album/mix tape?

You're guys are gonna get a solo from me one day, I promise!

One question, very important.

Cats or dogs Ubi?

I have a cat, but I'm down with all the animals

Its called the "Recession Proof" tour

Do you feel you social media crew drinks to much?

only victor. and jeff. and the interns.

Is the glass half empty or the glass half full?

Good question!! (see Iron Giant)

How did you meet Mac Lethal back in the day?

I met Mac at at Das Efx show in 2000 I think. In a cypher. he was killin shit! love that guy

Weirdest place a fan ever wanted you to autograph?

I've signed a couple infants.... so.... yeah

Ubi! Huge fan and a chemist. Do you ever have crazy science convos with Mayday? Or what's the oddest topic you guys have talked about? Seems like those guys could talk hypotheticals for days haha

see you in Pasadena!

we've broken it all the way down. to the tesseract. to the 5th wall n shit. see you in Cali!

Biggie or Tupac?

I lean Biggie, but they're both classic!

Ubi! you guys were sick as shit back on tour with Mayday and Murs for Mursday when you came to St. Louis. Got 1 question for ya.

When Tech got a hold of you about the phone call from Godemis from Dead Alive, what was your first thought and how did the convo with Gode go when you got a hold of him?

There was some drama surrounding that voicemail, Tech was pissed off at first!! I had to check Godemis, then he apologized and it's all good. Now we can look back and laugh..... I guess. lol

If I buy you and Godi shots at a show ... what do I buy? :)

Patron, any decent blanco tequila. Or mezcal if they have it! (they won't)

Was the Power Play music video shot entirely on green screen?

nah man, we really kick it like that. I like a 35 to 1 girl/guy ratio. Jkjk or am I???

Any tour plans involving Norway?

Also which music video was the most fun to record? (think i might be able to guess the answer)

Jimmy Stewart, yall are sleep on that video!! and I'm down with Norway

Are their any trends in today's hip hop that annoy you?

over autotuned verses. like nails on a chalkboard :<

Ubiquitous, I just wanted to say that there was a time when my girlfriend hated rap and hip hop. Then one day, on a long car ride, I put in Constant Energy Struggles and is now dying to see you guys live and hear more and more of your material. Kudos.

As for my question; what non-rapper historical figures would you put into a cypher?

Bobby Kennedy

So which music video was your favorite to shoot? Mine is probably Soundbite. Also- how old were you when you started rapping?

Already said Jimmy, but my favorite indie production is MATTER DON'T MONEY for sure. Started writing at 17, free styling at 18

I know you guys are good friends with JL, could you ever see him on the Strange Roster?

What about any more collabos with JL or Rittz?

Will there be a Ubi album released? I love when you and Godi do that.

Favorite songs from other current Strange artists?

JL and Rittz are both dope, love making music with them. I could see JL with us.... ON THE BIBLE, SHIT IS HARD

Hi, Ubi! Long time fan here. Who is your favorite rapper and what is your favorite hip-hop album of all time?

I'm vibin off The Sun Rises in the East lately, but it's always changing. And it might be Nas, at least for now

If you were a supervillain, where would your main lair be?

machu picchu fa sho. that shit looks ill

What did you do for income before you started making enough money to live off of making music?

service industry, I was a bartender. TIP 20% YOU CHEAP BASTARDS

Hey UBi, what do you think about music that's playing on the radio? I believe that the music and the artist are decent but the lyrics just suck, everything is pretty much saying the same things, what's your say on that??

Blame Clear Channel, they control the content like a mofo!!

When you gonna let me get that record clock on your wall?

From my cold dead hands homie. Star Wars fo life

Hey Ubi! Can't wait to catch you on the Recession Proof Tour! Can you share anything from the set list, or let us know if you guys will be performing anything new that you haven't previously performed?? Thanks man!

Yep, we will be doing some unreleased material off our upcoming EP

Where you at right now? I'm in the springs, trying to blow one yo?

STRANGELAND

When will CES Cru or any of Strange Music be coming to Houston? My crew is dying to see you guys perform

come see us on the RECESSION PROOF tour!! H-town!!

Who smokes the most in Strange?

when I'm on my bullshit, me 100% godemis or noms might be a runner up

Seems like every hour you're at a new venue, with far and few breaks in between. What keeps you awake and ready to go day after day?

Healthy diet and B vitamins!!

UBI! I hate that this is the only question i can think to ask you right now but.... Grape or Strawberry jelly?

grape, who likes strawberry???

Does it bother you when people compare you to Eminem?

nah, been rolling with that punch since 97. Not to mention he's one of the best ever, I think it's a compliment!

What city is your favorite to preform in?

Denver, Seattle, Santa Cruz, Boston..... too hard to pick one!

Gotta ask, if you were to mix 151, Malibu Rum, and some pineapple juice: 1) would this be a good drink? 2) what would you call it?

yes. that's that lou

Will you do an album with Murs? He is the highlight of strange music right now! You all would kill it. Murs cru. Educated street music!!!

Love Murs, can't wait to do more music with him! #haveanicelife

answering allllll the questions

Do people in nyc just not like strange artists? Sense like a good 3/4 strange tours skip nyc all together.

We'll be in NY this summer, we played Webster Hall last summer too. Love New York!
