You wrote the best tweet of 2017. I can't find the link right now, but it's the one where Future asks Kendrick to do a verse on the Mask Off remix. Do you have a personal favorite tweet by someone who isn't you in 2017? 

My favorite tweet of 2017 is from my brother and controversial Twitter figure, @artschooldrop. He made this dumb joke about Michael Cera. I was so jealous of how succinct, absurd, and genius the tweet is I didn't bother to RT it. I'm petty like that.

I loved your piece on the tenth anniversary of Lord Willin'. Do you think Clipse will/should ever make another album?

Nostalgia grates at me. I'd love a Clipse project, but know deep down I want it to capture the feeling of how Lord Willin' and Hell Hath No Fury made me feel. That's selfish. Pusha T's solo work is amazing. No Malice seems fulfilled. 

Plus, Pusha T and Future gave us "Pain." I'm good. 

What can people (especially Brendan Klinkenberg, who DM'd me -- which was shocking, no one ever DMs me -- to say how excited he was that I asked you to read at the series) expect from your reading?

Have you ever heard the vocoder effect outro, Kanye does on "Runaway?" It makes me want to cry in the arms of an angel. My rambling has nothing to do with what people can expect. So yeah...
