  • No doubt

    So, as always, great storytelling. Payne is definitely in the right line of work. But the fact is what dude said toward the end about Payne not being able to go into the hood looking like he does (white) means an insider did all of this. No one likes to believe it could be “one of us”. But it always ends up being one of us.

ATL was just as black in 1980. There’s no magical WHITE boogie man, no matter the common racist narrative told. Wayn... more

  • Come on!

    Listening to episode 4 - is my guy is interviewing with gum in his mouth?! I had to stop listening and honestly I don’t think I’m missing much - there is no substance to this show.
