  • Dancehall dancer turned recording artiste, Kemar "Ding Dong" Ottey has been very successful etching himself into the annals of history of dancehall culture. With his feel-good music, the deejay has given us hit after hit for over a decade and has contributed movement and music that has continued to carry Jamaican culture across the globe. He chronicles his journey from losing his father violently and finding success when the odds were against him as a youth from the inner city.
    This is "Ding Dong" in a different capacity as he shares on Odyssey with Yendi: Untold Journeys, we see his wisdom, his knowledge as he gives brilliant advise we all can tap into, especially youth who live in garrison communities.

    I have so much respect for him just for the fact that he is willing to watch real housewife with his wife to make her happy and to make their life flow. Lot of men don't get that its the little things they do.

    Yow Ding! You are amazing! I was told a while back by another inner city youth, how positive and uplifting you are! Since then I have been watching you with that expectation and feeling that energy from you! You have been consistent and a great role model! You still was able to “wow” me in this interview! You left us with a lot gems! You make us want to do more every single day! And what a way to wrap it up …” Use your story to dwell in greatness!” Keep going Ding Dong! You are unstoppable! Continue to make the world a happier and better place with you dances and songs! Respect King!❤️ Thank you for your time here! Miss Yendz! I just adore you! You are a whole vibes! An amazing person and I love you!❤️

    Yen, thanks for interviewing this young, strong black man. My previous formed opinion of Ding Dong has changed positively and significantly. As I listened, I became more impressed with how balanced and WISE he is. I stored so many of his lines on my 'hard drive', but my take away tonight and something I have always tried to instill in little ones is, ..... MAKE YOURSELF PROUD FIRST IN WHATEVER YOU ARE STRIVING FOR AND MOST TIMES YOU WILL BRING PRIDE TO OTHERS WHO ARE RELYING ON YOU TO DO WELL.

  • @themillennialme
    @themillennialme 2 роки тому +3

    Loved every bit of this interview.
    I think people need people's story though. Why? He said some people have never left their communities. Some people are yet to see the bigger picture, yet to see there is more to life. Your story is helping somebody else to see the possibilities. To see that here is more to do than get a "20 bag" something more to become than the next handler of the gun his uncle handle. Your story is important and I know it enlightened someone after watching even just a clip. Lovel and respect 🙏

  • @win30034
    @win30034 2 роки тому +2

    Lots of respect. He is correct. The biggest chokehold for many of us who have had ample opportunities, is those opportunities. We are expected to go the "regular path", . There is a grumpy Doctor who should have been an actor, or a trifling MBA banker who should have been driving trucks, and see the countryside.
    Lack of opportunities is bad, but expectations is right behind it.
