Woman 	Right.
Romesh Ranganathan 	Called Hip Hop Saved My Life. It's named after one of Lupe's songs, obviously. Um, I was wondering if there's any chance I could get a chance to, like, just ask him to be on the podcast.
Woman 	Are you an artist? Do you, like, rap?
Romesh Ranganathan 	I'm really into hip hop. Like, I used to do a bit of stuff myself and things like that, so.
