The Bill Simmons Podcast
Part 1: An NBA Midseason Power Poll, Plus OSU vs. Notre Dame with Joel Anderson and Van Lathan

Oh, definitely Slow Burn 6 to LA Rides. Just because I was fascinated by LA as a city, and it emerged from my reporting on season three on Biggie and Tupac. And I was just like, oh, if I ever got a chance to tell that story, which is part of the reason 2020 got held up, right? Yeah. That got put in my face, and I was like, well, I have to do this. This is like a passion project.

Um, and you know, like humanizing Rodney King, um, just talking about the divisions in the city, like how it was more complicated than people thought. Um, I, I couldn't, I couldn't, I couldn't wait to do that. So that was probably the thing that I'm most proud of.

I did, you know, I did a season on, uh, uh, Clarence Thomas a couple of years later, which was more, uh, critically acclaimed, but, uh, my favorite is season six of slow burn the LA riots.

I think the degree of intimacy between them. It makes sense in retrospect how things got out of control, right? Because that kind of hatred, that kind of anger only comes about when you know somebody and they're like your friend. And they were really friends. Tupac had a lot to do with Biggie becoming a celebrity and getting accepted out on the West Coast.

Tupac wanted to sign Biggie to his record label. But then Tupac was like, I don't know, this Diddy guy, Puffy, he knows what he's doing. You probably should stick with him. We could collaborate, you know what I mean? Yeah. Right. Right. Right. I mean, in some ways it worked and in some ways, you know, it probably is best we didn't get to see how that was going to turn out in the end.

But yeah, man, so that that part of it was the thing. I knew that they had been cool, but I didn't know how cool. And that was sort of a revelation. And it explained a lot about what happened after once I learned that, I think.

Right, because in so much with Drake is unsettled. We don't know where he's actually going to go. He hasn't really released any music. He hasn't really presented himself in front of the public again. Actually, I'm sort of fascinated by what Kendrick is going to do at the Super Bowl as the L.A. guy. Right. Like he probably had one show in mind.
