First, thanks! I've been a fan since 2004 upon hearing 3:16 and have seen you live in LA, Boston, etc.

• Which songs of yours are you most proud of (feel free to list the reason, from technical writing skills, to emotional connection, to storytelling, etc)?
• In some ways, your sounds/style seems to continue to evolve over the years (i.e., MayDay!); your new album reminds me a lot of the 3:16 days (I love all your music though). As an artist, it's hard for me to not compare my current work to my old stuff, from style, quality, etc, as I fear I'm not making enough progress. Do you ever have thoughts like this too?
• I love 'The Worst' -- is it based on a true story? Also, thanks so much for "I Miss Mikey" He's the reason I discovered you. Saw him on HBO Blaze Battle in 2000, saw his rhymesayers shirt, which I looked up online and eventually discovered all of my favorite musicians, you included.

Congrats!! As you progressed through the games (I realize 5 are filmed per day), did you feel a huge increase in pressure or desire to win (or to the degree that you felt it negatively affected your performance)?

Bonus question: what was your favorite category?

Ah, point 2 (the importance of collaboration) resonates a lot with me. You're right, and I should do that more. "No man is an island" ('Everything' song). I'm a PhD student at a top university, and I definitely need to remind myself of this for work.
