Hip-hop icon Papoose sits down with @AlBernstein for a wide-ranging Big Time Boxing interview that connects the worlds of music, culture, and the fight game. Papoose talks about growing up in Brownsville, Brooklyn, spotting Mike Tyson in the neighborhood, and how boxing became part of his DNA. He also breaks down the powerful synergy between hip hop and boxing—why fighters train to rap, how crowds respond, and why the two worlds have always moved together. The conversation dives into his relationship with Claressa Shields and how entertainment-level promotion can elevate a champion’s brand. Papoose shares behind-the-scenes insight on working with her team, what it’s like being in camp, and the viral moment where her power nearly “knocked his arm out the socket” while holding pads. Plus, he discusses his short film Bars on Wheels: A Journey to Save Hip Hop, the five elements of hip hop, and why he believes the culture needs protecting. From today’s fighters to future superfights, this episode is packed with real talk, fight fan energy, and big-picture perspective.
