Common on Fat Joe SAVING HIS LIFE in Ice Cube beef, Chicago hip hop & Jennifer Hudson

Fat Joe and Jadakiss sit down with Chicago rap legend Common. The three hip hop OGs talk about Common coming up alongside Joe, Bone Thugs-N-Harmony, and The Beatnuts on Relativity Records, the time Joe saved Common’s life during his beef with Ice Cube, how his iconic song “I Used To Love H.E.R.” inspired the 2002 Taye Diggs film ‘Brown Sugar,’ composing the new theme to the NBA on Prime Video, the influence of KRS-One on conscious rap, where Will Smith and Tupac Shakur rank in his list of top rappers-turned-actors, and his successful acting career leading to roles in ‘John Wick: Chapter 2,’ Apple TV’s ‘Silo,’ and ‘Smokin’ Aces.’ Joe also tells priceless stories about turning down a role in ‘Shaft,’ Queen Latifah chasing him around the studio, and surprising Styles P (a vegan) with coconuts at one of his parties.
