On this week’s episode of The Brilliant Idiots, Charlamagne tha God and Andrew Schulz chop it up with hip-hop legend N.O.R.E. From his big health transformation to balancing family life, N.O.R.E. keeps it real about his journey both inside and outside the music game.

He talks about his love for running, giving back to the community, and opens up on his relationships with other artists—plus, he doesn’t shy away from the recent Pusha T and Pharrell drama. The crew also dives into the rise of reggaeton, cultural identity, and the behind-the-scenes politics of the industry.

It’s not just about music, though. They touch on comedy, awards, the art of negotiation, and how personal connections can make or break careers. N.O.R.E. drops gems on kindness, growth, and the power of storytelling through platforms like podcasts.

If you’re into hip-hop, culture, and raw unfiltered convos, this episode is packed with laughs, real talk, and major insight into the evolution of one of rap’s most respected voices.
