    KevMac what I like about your work is:
    Your interviews seem more like an intimate conversation between two individuals.
    You allow your guest to TALK without constant interruptions.
    You ask relevant questions. Nothing worse than asking irrelevant or silly questions. Especially, with your guest who’ve been through hell and back. Feels disrespectful.
    Keep up the amazing work.👌🏾💯

      Facts Facts pound for pound on some g shit Collectively the Raymonds interviews have been more historical, informational or should I say detailed or something like that I can't find the words to use but more than the 60s interviews collectively. Ironically none of the Raymond interviews make my top5 all time but I got 2 60's interviews making my top5🤷🏿‍♂️ of course you have the Legendary Too Pretty Kenny number one, then a close close super close second is mumpy and 3 of course was monster Kody 4and5 get tricky only two can fit and it's been a good 6 that if I said just two it would disrespect the others one I hold close to heart I you got rebo rockhead mizz Keith stone Jackamoe frog the crips where deebo was based off of shit crayzo legendary fight story I mean I even liked bad news story alot okay okay look after further deliberation I gotta go with the first big mizz and Caesar from Inglewood is my top5!!!!!!!Pow right in the kisser....
      Who want smoke with my Top5 line up? I'll wait 🤔🤷🏿‍♂️

    I want to put something out there which may provide a point of reference for this Brother’s testimony concerning his return home to find his community’s demographics completely transformed: ten years ago I was telling my classes that the three states with the largest black populations was California, Texas and New York with California holding a clear lead. I checked a couple of weeks back and Texas now has the largest black population in the country. I have kinfolk in LA (Altadena, Pasadena and Watts) and the Bay and their roots are here in Texas and Louisiana. Several left here in the 40s to work at Lockheed and other factories related to war production. That move enabled them to buy a home they couldn’t get here. Half of them are back home here in Houston and San Antone; those who owned homes there could sell their home there and buy twice the home here with some cash left over to put in the bank. The great migration changed all of our families’ lives forever and none of our folks that left here for CA had any idea as to how the move would later impact their children’s lives. We all paid a price-some more than others-but should salute those proud men and women seeking a place to rest their heads and raise their children. Someday, when the dust settles we will look back and be able to identify all of those forces that were at work out there in LA that produced what our families in CA experienced first hand. Kev Mac’s work will be key to that study. Salute to the Big Brother from Raymond-he strikes me as a natural born leader with a strong sense of the value of integrity.

Mississippi may be 40% or better black but the total population of the state may be smaller when compared to another state like Texas in which the proportion of black people in the state is only 12% but of a much larger total population.
