This was enjoyable and informative, but you really needed to get some better narrators. A lot of times the voice over sounds like the person recording was afraid that someone was going to walk in on them. A little more volume and timbre would have helped.

Buddy Miles told me he didnt feel it was racist, and he was very proud of his contribution to the raisins wonder if he knew about the N.W.A. connection...

Great piece of work here. Really enjoyed seeing how you traced the evolution of the song through multiple cultural understandings.
