[Dope Episode] – Cocavision ft N.O.R.E

If you haven’t heard, Fat Joe has a podcast.

I’ve actually known for a while, but was dragging my feet. No misrespect to Joe, I’m just a little hesitant when it comes to famous people doing podcasts. I always feel like they try to ride the wave of their celebrity instead of actually being entertaining in a podcast setting.

Anyway…the episode I tuned into had N.O.R.E on as a guest. Joe and N.O.R.E are cool with each other. They’ve been friends for a long time. In a podcast setting, this worries me, because I feel like the host won’t ask the right “curious” questions. They can’t think from an audience members’ pernt of view because they mistakenly assume the listener knows more than they do.

Well, needless to say…I was wrong about Fat Joe. I tuned into Cocavision and was stupid happy I did.

N.O.R.E and Joe spent the majority of the show just reminiscing and telling some funny ass stories. I was in the car ROLLING! If you’re a fan of Joe and/or N.O.R.E, a fan of 90s hip hop and a fan of good storytelling, you’ll LOVE this episode. Here’s what they talked about:

SOME of what you’ll hear

• N.O.R.E’s admiration for Joe
• How N.O.R.E saved Joe from some goonies in Germany
• Joe’s time in jail
• N.O.R.E talked some behind the scenes about the LA LA video
• How Pun made Joe prove his love for Pun (joooookes!)
• N.O.R.E talked about his key to success (added to my respect for him)
• N.O.R.E’s answer to “when keeping it real went wrong” (fucking jooookes!!)

I’m leaving out a lot more that happened simply because I don’t want to ruin this for you. Just listen to the episode (you need TIDAL). Joe mentioned you can get a free trial. If not, you’re in luck because it’s also available on YouTube. I personally would rather listen than watch, but that’s me. Here’s the video:
