Ralph McDaniels on Tupac in Juice, Video Music Box, directing Nas & Wu-Tang

Fat Joe and Jadakiss are joined by hip hop legend and Video Music Box host Ralph McDaniels. Joe and Jada pick Uncle Ralph’s brain about hip hop history, from being on set with Tupac Shakur and Queen Latifah on the 1992 cult classic ‘Juice,’ to his 2021 hip hop documentary ‘You’re Watching Video Music Box’ directed by Nas, to the list of iconic music videos he directed or produced like “C.R.E.A.M.” by Wu-Tang Clan, “It Ain’t Hard To Tell” from Nas’ album ‘Illmatic,’ and “Burn Hollywood Burn” by Public Enemy featuring Ice Cube and Big Daddy Kane. Joe also recalls a story of getting pulled up on stage at a Big Daddy Kane concert and witnessing a legendary freestyle by Tupac and The Notorious B.I.G.
