The Champs with Neal Brennan + Moshe Kasher (general)

Hollywood director Allen Hughes sits down with the Champs to discuss his early work and subsequent beef with Tupac, the making of Menace, and what it's like to direct Denzel Washington.  This is possibly the name-droppiest episode of The Champs.  Also, it's an audio nightmare, but it's a good one.
