“The air in LA felt different.” One week following the shocking passing of Nipsey Hussle, a melancholy J Hicks returns to the podcast with author Kenneth Hicks to discuss the rapper/philanthropist/jewel-dropper’s life and contribution to hip-hop, including the magnitude of his murder (14:00), Nip getting more love in death than in life (19:00), the feeling of LA in the aftermath (24:30), the silver lining of his death (30:00) and watching it play out on social media (37:00). Then, the Hicks boys discuss the fallout of the Lakers ugly season (as predicted), what people in LA think of LeBron James (47:00) and the hypocrisy of his haters (1:05:30).
Rest in Power, King Nip Hussle Tha Great!
