Escape the Trap with Joe Coscarelli

Author: Throwing Fits October 19, 2022 Duration: 1:49:25

Welcome to the rap capital where they rap for capital. This week, the boys are linking up with New York Times culture reporter and the author of the new book Rap Capital, which is out right now, Joe Coscarelli. Joe came through to spit bars on his principles of menswear, Orlando Magic fandom, his upcoming wedding fit, airport merch inflation, elevator pitching his fantastic book, whether or not Migos invented dabbing on Fashion Bros, texting with Lil Baby, why hanging out with rappers is actually mad boring, speeding through Atlanta in the middle of the night, violence in the hip-hop streets, which rapper smokes the most weed, making it rain is so 2000 and late, why you should always treat the strip club like a reporter, being the awkward white boy in the room, money denominations so small you get scoffed at, scuffing Takeoff's sneakers, culture vulture imposter syndrome, how the YSL arrests reverberated, is there really even a rap capital in 2022, his definitive ATL Mount Rushmore, why no music is embarrassing, dream Diary of a Song subjects, book sales showdowns, which rapper gets the most ass, picking up John Mayer's tab, selling your IP for real money and much more on this dirty and southern episode of The Only Podcast That Matters™.

In a world saturated with polished takes and predictable opinions, Throwing Fits offers a refreshingly unfiltered conversation. This podcast operates from the premise that two self-proclaimed grown dirtbags can provide some of the most genuine commentary on contemporary culture. The hosts navigate the ever-shifting landscape of style, art, and what it means to be a person with interests in today's world, all without taking themselves too seriously. Listeners are invited into a space where high and low culture collide, where a deep dive into a fashion trend can sit comfortably beside a rant about daily absurdities. The tone is less instructional and more observational, driven by a shared curiosity and a willingness to question the status quo. You'll hear the hosts grapple with the zeitgeist, often finding humor and insight in the most unexpected places. Their dynamic is the core of the show-a blend of camaraderie, playful ribbing, and moments of surprising sincerity that makes each episode feel like catching up with your most opinionated, yet oddly relatable, friends. It’s a dialogue about the things that shape our tastes and identities, delivered with a distinct voice that refuses to be neatly categorized. For those tired of formulaic discussions, this podcast provides a much-needed dose of personality and authentic, meandering conversation that somehow always circles back to what’s interesting, weird, or worth talking about right now.
