What's your writing process like? What do you like to write on/with?

Hello Mr. Lil Jon, and thank you for doing this AMA. I have a couple of questions for you…

First off, have you seen this youtube video? It’s honestly one of the funniest things I have ever seen. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ryog-cgp9_I

Second, does it hurt to have a grill, and do you think a grill would be attractive on a white woman?

Third, any chance you could swing by Kansas City and teach me how to rap? It would make my friends totally jealous. I am a woman with large breasts and a relatively big booty if that helps and I’m pretty fun to hang out with ;)

Thanks, and have a wonderful day!

This is pretty cool because I only have to look for responses in all CAPS. Whatup Lil Jon?

Does your phone and/or keyboard have the ability to use lower case letters?

Hi LIL JON! Please take this in spirit in which it is intended... Do you dress when you are off camera the same as you do when you are in front of it? I would find those low pants to be frustrating as heck to wear around the house. I guess a better question would be, how much of what we see form you is the real you?

Also, sorry if I'm getting you mixed up with LIL Wayne.

I first learned about you when I was 11. I am also a Jon, and so some older kids started giving me the nickname 'Lil Jon'. Being 11, I asked "Who's Lil Jon?" One kid told me "he's this big black guy with a HUGE penis." And that's all he would say on the matter.

So, I guess my question is, do you have a nickname for your genitalia?

Dave Chappelle's skit where he impersonates you is one of the singular most hilarious things I've ever seen on TV, and I love the fact that you're doing this AMA in all caps. It's like I can hear you yelling the answers in front of a laptop somewhere. That being said, is there a quiet side to Lil Jon, or are you "on" 24/7?
