MC Chris (stage name for Christopher Brendan Ward) is one of the greatest musicians working. You may not know his work, or you may only know him from his voice work on several of Cartoon Network's Adult Swim shows, but that doesn't make this assertion any less true. MC is often described as a member of the nerdcore rap set, and this is true, but like the other great nerdcore artists his work frequently slips outside of the narrow confines of the label. If you don't know his work, hit his website or stalk him on YouTube - you'll have no trouble acquainting yourself with him.
That said, on September 7th I sent MC Chris five questions:
1. What musicians, musical artists, or artists of any other genre do you think have influenced you the most?
2. I have heard that you're a formally trained animator and your association with Adult Swim is fairly legendary - how does your visual art influence your musical art, and vice-versa?
3. Is there anything you enjoy doing, reading, writing, eating, etc. that would surprise people who don't know you well?
4. What ethical, philosophical, religious, or political subject(s) do you feel strongest about?
5. What is your favorite book?
