MC Booth: MC Lars

When did you pick up the mic? To amplify and/or record my voice using electronic technology. It was hard hearing myself with the microphone on the floor, so I used my opposable thumb to bring it towards my face.

Who's who in your current crew? RZA, GZA, Method Man, Raekwon, Ghostface, Inspectah Deck, U-God, Masta Killa and Cappadonna. Wait, I thought you said, "Who's currently in Wu?" I misunderstood. MC Lars is just me.

Do you practice all of the four elements? I mainly research African and Indian pachyderms, as they are the two primary indigenous species. Oh, elements? I thought you said elephants I rap, DJ and do graffiti (please don't tell my parents).

If you could be anyone's hype man who would it be? I would love to be Jesus Christ's hype man — flowing with him while his robes flow angelically. I hope that rap fans wouldn't get cross with me (Sage Francis joke).

What can punters expect from you when you're working the room? They can expect amplified sound, a folding table with CDs, lights that will presumably change brightness, a ceiling and floor.

When and where for your next gig? Ideally a place with the aforementioned things, but you never know.
