It’s been nearly a week since the world shared a collective gasp as Will Smith slapped Chris Rock. Whatever side you take on the matter, there’s no denying that it was a colossal, iconic moment of pop culture. It’s now destined to be the subject of endless discussions for the foreseeable future, and this edition of HC Pod dives straight into the thick of it.
Titled “JADA Pinkett Smith Does NOT Rate Will Smith”, one could be forgiven for thinking it was the headline of a sensational newspaper. Instead, the title is more of a reflection of the trademark attributes of both Chuckie and Poet, as they dive into a serious topic and provide witty justifications for seemingly outlandish statements.
Chuckie has been going from strength to strength over the last year, with the HC Pod growing in audience. In addition, he’s expanded into new markets, namely with his excellent Noisey documentary series entitled Gangsta Rap International. There is no denying Chuckie has an intangible ability to keep a pulse on the hectic world of culture, and this podcast is just another example.
