We welcome a very special guest on today’s episode of the “What’s On Tap with Tommy Beer” podcast - Mr. Chuck D.
One of the founding members of Public Enemy, Chuck is one of the most influential rappers and lyricists in the history of hip-hop. He’s also a diehard Knicks fan.
In the course of our conversation, Chuck and I discuss the following:
* How he was introduced to Knicks before Walt Frazier was “Clyde”
* Why Joel Ortiz is an underrated MC (by some)
* Why Steph Curry and the Warriors are more like teams from the 50s than you might think
* How every Knicks fan has “The Dunk” poster in their home
* Public Enemy performing inside MSG
* Hanging out with Eddie and Charlie Murphy in Roosevelt
* What Jalen Brunson brings to NY, and why the Knicks needed it
* Why creative people need to block out negativity on social media
* The common thread linking Red Holzman and Steve Kerr
* Predictions for the Knicks 2022-23 season
