Love the vibes of King Kong. The honesty about the good bad and ugly. Kong full of vibes. Very good sense of humor. Made me laugh 😆 through the whole interview.

Real good assessment of the interview this, I see some taking offense with aspects of it but the man was just sharing his journey he spoke his truth, sure he made many mistakes along the way but he is a better person for it.

@@TeachDem your programme bring back so many childhood memories from hearing many entertainers talk about events or people, who I knew directly or indirectly. I can surely attest to many of these stories from Jungle 12 to NY, and many other places. It is great to hear about these music geniuses and their plight as a regular Joe, so the world can see the human side of them, which I witnessed growing up in Augustown and then Brooklyn and Hartford CT. Your programme has surely made me understand how rich I am. I traveled the same path with many of these people, but I remained who I am. Just a simple man traveling Jah land with his little butter pan. I now meet young people who are desperately interested in the 80's era and it's happenings. The greatest time in black history since the creation of the pyramids. In my opinion. I grew up in Brooklyn between Brownsville and Bedford Stuyvesant.

Teach, I just love your interviews, they are funny, interesting, historical, informative, filled with laughter, We all go back in time in the musical industry. They always reveal the hidden truths. .One thing that remains common in all interviews is the corruption in the business. Back then the artistes just loved the music but the producers were ripping them off. King Kong is funny and is real... Watch him a rub out him weed...Great interview with animation at its best... King Kong is the best.
