-Alright, so, are you like a Peter Parker or a Miles Morales?
-Miles Morales.
You know, he was into science and stuff, but he also...
He just hit you from, like, another level.
He hit you from, like, a home level.
It's probably 'cause he's black, too.

-Hey, what's going on?
It's Trey, back here for one of these, stuck-in-the-house
"Questionnaires of Life."
Today, we got rapper, designer extraordinaire
Duckwrth with us.
How's it going, man?
-It's going.
-Alright, well, thanks for joining us.
You ready to get into this?
-Yep.
-Daffy Duck, Darkwing Duck, or Le Quack?
-I don't even know Le Quack. -Oh, man.
Le Quack -- he was just, like, this wild, like, con man.
He was, like, a French duck who was just, like,
come and scamming everybody.
-Darkwing Duck.
-Let's get dangerous and shit? Yeah.
-Yeah, let's get dangerous. He was just mysterious.
He was darker. He was, like, a little bit --
And he, like, wore, like, purple very well.
My favorite ducks, though,
are "Mighty Ducks: The Animated Series."
I don't know if you remember that, where they were all --
-Oh, is that one where, like, they had, like, fighter jets
for some reason and, like --
-Yes, that one. -Yeah.
Man, '90s cartoons were fucking wild.
-They were. They were lit.
-I wasn't allowed to "Ren & Stimpy," though.
I had to sneak it.
"South Park" -- I got in trouble one time.
I got caught watching "South Park."
-The only time I had any type of cable was when I was
in my grandparents's house, when I was younger in Las Vegas,
and they would have, like, channel, like, 103,
which would be, like, the cable channels they couldn't get,
and that would be the Playboy channel.
[ Record scratches ]
But it wouldn't say like, "This channel doesn't work."
It would just, like, be hella static
and it would be doing the little thingy where it,
like, goes up like that.
But it's, like, I would try to, like...
[ Laughs ]
-You would try to, like, catch some semblance of a titty.
-I would try to catch, like, a nipple or something like that
or, like, you know, whatever I could catch.
-Would you rather fight
100 pigeons, 10 chickens, or an ostrich?
-I probably would fight 10 chickens.
-You know pigeons are out here. They see some shit every day.
And an ostrich is an ostrich.
Like, they got to deal with lions and shit.
-Yeah, exactly.
So I think I got a better chance
with hormone-induced 10 chickens.
I know you didn't put that in there,
but I just put that in.
-Alright. When the mosh pit starts, where can you be found?
-In the middle of it. In the middle.
-Okay. Alright.
Whose shoes would you rather have been in during "Akira"?
Kaneda's, Tetsuo's, or The Colonel's?
-Of course, Kaneda,
'cause Tetsuo, like, that's me having too much power, man,
and we see, like,
what it looks like when you have too much power.
I would be Kaneda in that sense, because I would be learning,
like, you know --
You push people in certain ways that has consequences.
But, like, you know, Kaneda still have a good heart
at the end of the day, and his bike was hella tight.
-And that jacket was cool as hell.
-That jacket was hard. Yeah, the whole jacket was hard.
The whole, like -- The whole color scheme of it is just --
It's amazing. That monochromatic red? Come on.
-Yeah.
Which one of these legends would you want to do
a collaboration with the most?
Organized Noize, The Neptunes, or J Dilla?
-Neptunes because, I mean, it's the era.
Like, Dilla versus, like, Neptunes, like, today?
A Neptunes production would, like -- It would go, you know?
Dilla was, like, particular.
Like, that form of, like, boom bap was particular
to a generation, you know,
and I think Neptunes -- they'll be closer to our generation.
-Which one of these Taurus characteristics
would you say is true?
Being stubborn as hell, being hungry all the time,
or being horny all the time?
[ Record scratches ]
-It's a combination of all three, really.
-Pick one of these G-funk classics
to listen to for the rest of your life.
"Real Muthaphuckkin G's," "Regulate," or "Tonite"?
-[ Vocalizing "Regulate" ] "Regulators."
-Is it the narrative arc of it or it's just, like,
Nate Dogg giving one of his best rap performances ever?
-It's the melody.
You know what I'm saying like that?
And then they flipped -- They flipped that one song.
I forgot what's the original sample from.
-Oh, it's Michael McDonald. -Yeah.
-♪ I keep forgettin' we're not in love anymore ♪
Yeah.
-♪ I keep forget-- ♪
Like, They flipped that, like, so hard,
but it's still, like, funky though.
But, yeah, "Regulators."
-So, last question.
As a producer, what's the most important thing
for you to consider when producing?
The orchestration, the arrangement, or the vocals?
-Arrangement.
And the arrangement depends on what you're trying to do.
Like, if you're trying to make --
For me, like, I'm -- At least --
Because all my previous work has been,
like, me just taste-testing, taste-testing, taste-testing,
never being afraid to taste-test and see what I like.
I think this project I'm about to come out with --
it's called "Super Good" -- this is, like --
These are the flavors that I've liked the most.
I'm trying to make, like, classics.
I'm trying to make, like, songs, you know?
Like, my favorite moments of music experience
is when somebody can kind of, like,
sing along to your music or, like -- or feel it.
Like, it just hits them in a different pocket, you know?
It's not just, like, a disposable moment of music,
but it's something that can really stick to people.
And I think the ones that really stick with people --
I think it has to do with just, like, people --
like, their effort to make,
like, a song-song, you know?
And I think that has to do with, like, the arrangement, really.
-On that note, we're out. Duckwrth, thank you.
Audience, thank you. -Thanks for having me.
-Everybody stay safe,
keep your hands clean,
don't cough on nobody, and,
yeah, we'll make it through this.
Yeah. -We'll get through it.
