Great interview.
@@PecktheTownCrier Give thanks 👊🏿
Being an Albino man myself - believe me when I tell you - this guy is the biggest inspiration on the planet. ❤️
Bless.
That's love...
Much love Paul!!! Keep moving the good vibes my brother....
Paul Taylor give thanks 🙏
Never put your head down your crown may fall king
I honestly don't care how he looks, them bars are everything
That means you do care of you wouldnt say anything.
He doesnt even matter in the First place. Dont Matter if he spittts good bars or not
And money.
Nneka Edwards he actually looked better before the cancer distort his mouth.
Agreed I see his soul..👋🏾🇯🇲🇨🇦
A man who succeeded despite the odds.
Francis Muiruri fuck yes
My idol
What Happened with his mouth
Blessings 🙏🙏❣️
Kim Blaschke he had some type of cancer I believe
My heart hurt when he spoke of the way he’s been treated by his own ppl for being albino. I grew up listening to him and he still shows how brave and strong he is by continuing to perform regardless of his illness or disfigurement. What an absolute legend ❤️🙌🏼
Yeahh the way Albino have been treated and even NOW it's so heartbreaking. Honestly 😭🥺 you're looked at like you're evil. So flipping horrible.
there should be a movie about his life.
Yes there should
@@magicpondrecords has still alive
@@magicpondrecords he still livin but they made a movie bout Elton John wich also still livin so dont see why they wouldnt make one of him.
Lovelm Purple I agree 100 per cent
I agree with this idea. Mr Yellowman music changed my life in Brazil, but here most people don’t know his life history.
Shout out to ALL albino brother and sisters....
he need to be inducted in the rock n roll hall of fame ..anybody disagree??
dick hertz hell yeah!
Fi tru
10000%
Nope you are dead right my friend
dick hertz very tru he right up there with Bob
King yellowman I wish I was there to protect u from all the bullies. Looking back this was bullying at its highest level from a bunch of narrow minded people. You defied the odds.
If we could travel back from now he'd have a crew and would have been untouchable.✊
@@saidtoney5527 If you do that, you would never allow this man to become who he is now. His struggles made him who he is. Although your intentions are are good, the results would be detrimental.
@@Onlysuccess710 word
Wise words from Mario ✊🏽salute brothers and sisters
A true lion. Strong heart! Sick MC! 💯🧡💛🦁
my dad went to his concert when he was still growing, there were only 10 people there. he’s such a legend and deserves all the love he’s gotten
Man this interview really brings me to tears. Can't believe people treated him to this day so hateful. He's such a sweet heart. #Legendary
When is a movie going to be made about this legend, its time
Why don’t you make a movie?
Please, not hollyweird.
Like...who do we speak to about getting this done?
Truth
No one could flow like Yellowman. His voice, his lyrics, the rhythm, the sound, everything was just so smooth. Just makes you want to dance.
True story.While stationed at Scott AFB, IL in 1983 myself and a couple friends went to see Yellowman at a small venue in St Louis ...Performance was top notch, but more impressive was him inviting us backstage after the show, sat and talked with us and offered us fruits to eat.Mind you he was arguably the biggest dancehall performer at this time.The man was the most humble person I ever met.Quiet and reserved...nothing like his on stage persona, but he had a natural sense of humor.Didnt drink or smoke ( at least not in front of us) and seem more interested in us being in the USAF....and he was the star!!.We hung out for about 30 minutes.Can't remember if we took pics ( back then you actually had to have a camera on hand...Kodak instamatic...lol), but it was something I will never forget.All praises due forever and always to King Yellowman #1 showman! Also respect to Eek-A-Mouse aka Smitty ( New Jack City) for passing the mic...I knew there was a reason " Mouse" was always one of my favorites.
well he does like to sing about the sensemilla
Love stories like this!!! Nice to hear good things about people you look up to. Usually it’s the complete opposite. Thanks for your post!!
Yellow and Eek are my favorites, I'm really touched by the fact that eek handed him his first mic like that . Soo Cool
Great story thanks for sharing! ❤️❤️❤️
You can tell this man is humble.
King Yellow...saw him in Lagos Nigeria February 1988. My hero
Sina Olowoake he was very popular in Nigeria
Naija rocks.
My hero. It's great to know plenty of people supported this guy. LEGEND is accurate.
Fancy seeing you here
Growing up in Lagos Nigeria, Yellow man was and IS STILL A NAME to be reckoned with amongst those who love Reggae and Dance Hall Reggae music in the late seventies, eighties and so on...Much love to ALL JAMAICANS for giving /Blessing the world with REGGAE!
What's sad is, i guarantee ignorant people will look at him and know nothing of his successes, only his appearance.
What appearance？
@@coryyoung8289 *raises eyebrow* are you human?
@@HarryToeface i dont think you read my question.
@@coryyoung8289 all humans have an appearance, i don't think you understood the question you asked
@@HarryToeface i replied to the statement above, im asking that person what appearance he has？ appearance has nothing to do with success, this gentleman and many others prove that
Pray his musical legacy is preserved...and he is healed totally from cancer in Jesus Name
What a wonderful blessing considering all the people who passed away from a horrible disease demon
Amen and Amen
Amen
His music will never die
No one can flow like Yellowman. One of the best DJ's of the early 80's
I wonder if this man knows the impact he had on others who were also scorned growing up. You taught people how to celebrate their imperfections. Thanks for being part of my childhood 👊
We grew up listening to yellow man n trust me everyone in London loved him 💛 remember seeing him in vineyard Town in Jamaica years ago at a garage while on holiday but I'm not one to push up myself on anyone but smile to see him in person as I respect his privacy. God bless you yellow 💛man 🙏🏽💋💯🌷⚘💞
NOBODY MOVE. ... NOBODY GET HURT! !!.....legend and inspiration to all who suffer unreasonable discrimination and bullshit. ..... illness and strokes can't stop him! Big up yellowman!
Now tell me who pulled the motherfucking alarm
Cancer*
I used to hear his name, Yellowman, when I was a little girl but did not really knew a lot about his music. I dont know how I started listening to him a few weeks ago and now I'm OBSESSED, listening every day to his music and watching his interviews. I love him. God be with you and your family, King Yellow.
I'm a white man, and grew up with Africans primarily Ethiopians, and some Jamaicans, went to many many sound clashes, some places I would never dare to go now lol
And 99.9% of the time I was the ONLY white guy there. I would always get tested and called white boy (lots of fights), I thought they would be pleased that I really enjoyed the music. Some would look at me up and down, thinking how crazy is this white kid coming up in this place.
It really put a chip on my shoulder.
We are all ONE race different shades, the Human race. All created in the image of God. I felt for yellowman and def relate.
God bless Jesus is Lord!
You are the bomb baby
Tanganyika Richardson right back at you lol
Aww. My heart goes out to you. Pain is real and it causes issues. But God bless you. This touches me. God bless you. I don't care what color you are.
Sasha Hamlet God bless you too. I grew a real thick skin during my 20's. And learned a lot about other cultures. And was introduced to veggie patties and jerk chicken, so i was a win win.
I feel this way daily all my life sun up to sun down it'll most definitely put a chip on your shoulder but being a bigger person will allow you to dust your shoulders off... love to yellowman...
I know I'm 3 years late on watching just want to say that this is the most powerful interview that I've ever seen and I'm 52 yrs old.
You know, there is an always will be people in this world that are born unique. When I look at Yellowman I do not see the anything but a man that God blessed w a gift and I am honored to know and hear his sounds that he shared w the world!
Me too super late I need a hall pass at this point
I genuinely admire and love Yellowman. It is excruciatingly painful to hear the prejudice he received from Jamaicans. Sadly he was treated so badly simply based on his skin tone-- and an Albino. I think he is super talented and a major Jamaican musical icon.
Bless up to Yellowman! You're truly a badass on the mic (love).
Lots of love 👏👊👍
M.A. Arch yes I meet him once and so him twice in concert!!
M.A. Arch , Love Yellowman I can rememberd when you make westmoreland shine with your musical style. Those days will never come back. You had left your mark and signatures on every journey and platform in the music industry. Don't watch nothing what people do or say to you. You has given our generation and the future your very best. You are a living legend and I will always love your 🎶.
Superstition. It's like Chinese medicine with humans instead of animals.
M.A. Arch . Well said, truly an inspirational man. A strong man.
M.A. Arch Do you know what happened to him?Not try a be funny at all but what happened to his face?
Fascinating man with more heart than anyone
I was a punk in Britain in the 70s and I was extremely lucky to have lots of Jamaican friends and while "my" music has crashed and burned the Jamaican music of the time has evolved into some of the greatest music in the world. For me the person who takes me back to my youth is King Yellowman he to me is the rawest most pure talent to come from the island . He life has been struggle and maybe that's why his music has still as raw today as it was in 1980. Bless up Yellowman and respect. What a man, what a legend!
you said it so perfectly weĺl.
you think punk crashed and burned? hahahaha
Punk is more alive than ever, you just stopped listening
Lovely comment.
For those who where there, we know the seventies was the best decade of music ever.
A few comments laughing at your comment that Punk crashed and burned. They weren't there. It did. There is still punk around the world but it isn't the punk of 76/77.
Jamaican music filled the void, it was wonderful, more soul, more rhythm. Two Tone took off and introduced a whole new British generation to Trojan.
From one seventies kid to another, respect to you my friend. Ska'd for life.
The American strain of punk is spoiled trash. I feel you man
i am an albino dj living in grenada. just hear what he went through, i can more than relate. I lived it as well. people dont see us a regular people.
I cannot believe Yellow Man said up to now he's still experiencing prejudice. Just because of his albinism? The ignorance 😤🤬... and God bless Eek A Mouse
Met Yellow Man at the entrance of Bourbon Beach...he was the most humble & easy going person.His performance was incredible he was all over the stage & had he had the audience in his hand...A GREAT MAN!
I watched this legend perform on my home island of Guam about 10 years ago. I was amazed to witness him jam out. So much energy too! He was covering the entire stage dancing. Gregory Isaacs was suppose to perform too but unfortunately he was having health complications RIP. I will cherish these memories. Respect to the legend KING YELLOWMAN
671!!
This man is an inspirational legend... he still master them bars.
I think Yellowman should publish an inspirational book.
Bia Bia I sooooo agree; I believe he has a story to tell.
100%
Bernadette R use the book to make a screenplay for a future movie!
Not inspirational just his story fact always better than fictional
He probably have more negative feelings in his spirt and soul from all the constant mistreatment he was subjected to as a yewt and into adulthood. So sad what he went through on a daily basis. He carries that burden everyday. Bless up YelllowMan!!!!
You guy's do realize that this is the original king of dancehall right?
He single handedly set the foundation for all of us dancehall artists and artisans.
Bear in mind that He came out right after Bob died.
He is literally the father of dancehall music. He gave birth to this Great art form.
All hail di first King #KingYellowMan
King Yellowman.. True living legend.
To hell with them that scorn him. First album my father ever bought me, as a eleven year old was Yellowman
Listening to yellow man. how he was treated by our own people very bad it's so sad. You have a good heart yellow man. Love and blessing
zungu zunguzeng
I read this in a jamaican accent
@swahili Mandela he's so. Asked him for a picture.god is the perfect set up artist didn't many knew he would be on the top I love these amazing turn around.🙏🙏👍👍
yelloman , you are a legend . bless and love .
Winston "Yellowman" Foster is a true gentleman. He's also a true role model. Thanks for posting this video!
His music helped me through a super rough time in my life. He's a true inspiration and true king and legend of Dancehall. Thank you, I Never Knew TV.
Luis Cora Bless
Such a sharp mind. Able to freestyle any time, memorise, repeat the lyrics later, still has a full encyclopedia of all the DJs and sound systems he respects in his head, incredible mind and heart. I've heard some of his freestyles. He will get on a roll and just not stop for 5-6 minutes, and it will be full of respect and telling all how to do it right and proper and be upstanding, delivered in the most wicked rhythmic rhyming way, seemingly stepping it up another level... not many like him. I think some sound systems would not have him on because he would show them up... so formidable on the mic
I was just about to write something very similar to what you wrote. King Yellowman has a one of a kind heart and very sharp mind. Such a unique light energy resonating from him. In this world that we live in we need more love and less hate to truly embrace the greatness that each being embodies.
They said who God bless no man cursed what a humble man I never knew TV Thanks !!
Saw him live in 08 and at his age, he was so energetic.. by far the best performer that night.. been a fan since I was a child.. big Ups to this Man.. he is definitely the Truth 🙌🏼
From the USA King Yellowman was one of the first reggae artist I listened to. Lots of respect for him.
It's so sad that people say the nastiest of things and judge people on the colour of their skin,this guy is so humble and kind and real,that jehovah God sees the beauty in his heart and God don't discriminate
Jehovah is real
Damm some people are sick to treat this man in a negative way just cuz he was born a certain way. Smh....Bless up Starr!!!!
one King great yellow man. everything went wrong including cancer and he still survived nuff love
i cant express how much i honor this man
This man will leave a legacy that will be remembered after he's gone - The pea brained, hate filled, evil bullies who tormented and mocked him , will be forgotten like the human sh*t they are being flushed down the toilet. Bless Yellowman ✊
I am from the islands of The Bahamas and I can remember yellow man never knew he had it so hard
I met Yellowman at Sugar Minot studio and he was one of the nicest and kindest people I have ever met. I would love to sing with him someday.
Are the Jamacian Government going to wait until this grate legend past on before they honor him in live and living color?😳)))) This man deserve a big statue inside of our national heroes park and some little smaller ones on our country sides of Jamaica and in our town sides as well too😳 ) ) KING YELLOW MAN THE REAL KING OF THE DANCEHALL.
Its great to see yellow man alive and well and still very much a performer. Lon may you continue my brother. Blessings.
this Man pass many obstacles in his life sickness plus hatred but he never give up this talented superstar in my book is gifted and a extraordinary man i always would remember him love him .
I remembered as a little girl in 1988 he went to perform in Liberia and his concert was grand. I am so sad to hear about his condition. May God heal him.
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS INTERVIEW
The name of the song is 'Whine Up".. Give thanks for watching...
I NEVER KNEW TV 🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲 respect
ghettoyouth81.
Grew up hearing Yellow man music and know this great man to be one of Jamaica's greatest contribution to dancehall music that pave the way for many other artist. very disappointed to hear he suffered such prejudice and discriminative behavior from his own country men.
He got a strong undying spirit.I love him and bless him.
King Yellowman was legendary! Sad to hear he had such a rough upbringing, and his battle with cancer.
Despite all that life was supposed to beat him.. it didn’t funny how God works
I remember Yellowman from the 80s, his music was big. But I didn't see him in concert til the 90s when he came to Hawaii.
I went to Jamaica when I was a youth, yellowman made me understand my heritage.❤️💛💚 Before I went to Kingston.
Yellowman is a Jamaica Warrior Survivor everything bout his life is Legendary.. All Respect Yellowman
I still recall the mornings that yellow man use to stand right between the two light post at the corner of Wellington street and York Street reading his little blue new testament bible,smh,I alwaysss sorry for him the way ow the boy's would tek set on him.God bless u yellow, where are they now???
Sad...ignorance and bullying
He's a brilliant light being
True legend from Jamaica, I listened his music when I was a kid, still does, respect all the time to "king yellow "
Yellowman is the living example that what matters is what you carry inside. He has so much respect that is clear no matter how he looks. NUFF RASPECT to YELLOWMAN!!!!
This guy introduced me to dancehall sad to hear what he went through!!! In my opinion the best ever to do it.
This man has accomplished so much! Beating albinism, cancer, surgery... conquering the music industry...Real King Yellowman. I love the collabo with his daughter Kreema.
It's crazy how Jamaicans gave him a hard time for his skin color but now Jamaica is one of the biggest places for bleaching there skin to look like yellow man 🙈
He deserves wayyyy better I hope he stays strong
Wonderful interview!!
Much respect to King Yellowman, we can all learn from his strength.
I admire this time in reggae and dancehall. such amazing showmanship! A time in music that is completely underrated
I can't begin to imagine how life must of been terrible fo king yellow before all the fame.. I don't treat people bad regardless especially if you black, cause we been through so much as a people. Respect king 👑 yellow 💛.
Respect Yellowman! My heart breaks at the level of cruelty of ignorant people!
the World still Recognize Him Congrats King Yellow Man

Bless the king I never had a clue this had happened I always thought he was highly respected ah man this makes me sad hearing this
same
Love his music. "Still be a lady" will always and forever be my jam.
I had the opportunity to meet him in Chicago. I'll never forget it, such a legend.
I saw him in concert also in Chicago at Cubby Bear back in early 90s. His energy on stage is unmatchable.
Yellowman is so loved in Panama, he came many times his songs sounds hard in the hearts of those ones who growed with his music. I as a fan of him feel very happy to see how loved and appreciated he is as the master and the legend I believe he is.
I LOVE this man. Yellowman and Fathead are two of my favorite artists of all time, across all genres. They speak to my soul. So good to see him in this video, and he looks GREAT.
Yellow and Fat together is magic
I played that tape to death ☠️
I never judged his looks. I always judged his music which is unparalleled. He's birthed many DJ's in Jamaica and the UK. He's a living legend!
Great interview. The interviewer asked great questions not found in other interviews with Yellowman. Thanks!
One of the ultimate “turn a negative to a positive” stories of all time. Love his music b/c it’s dope, admire the man b/c he is an inspiration to humanity.
I had a chance to meet him in Seattle, WA, 2 or 3 years ago at the Red Lounge. I cry out of great appreciation, for meeting the king of Dancehall. I will forever love and respect him.
I just moved to Seattle and Red Door is a nice place.
love you long time yellow man, sorry you had such a hard time, know you are loved worldwide xxx
You don't have to be ugly to be treated like shit. Its not your ugliness Yellow man. Its them.
Jacqueline PLAYLIST QUEEN Phillip He had no ugliness.
Jacqueline CITY OF 4205 Phillip he has more beauty than us all,together
We the people demand "Yellowman The Movie". One love ❤💛💚
Was his face always like this? I listened to him since a kid but never made the connection he was albino... I don't care about color. Or looks.. I care about the vibration coming through to my ears and my heart. He truly touched me and now more than ever. One love and thank you for this
malaihiboi NO. He survived jaw cancer back in the 1980s. The surgery left his face deformed.
his face was not like that he has cancer
🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲😇😇😇 I think if he was deformed from birth... beyond albinoism... this caused the rebuking business. Whoever gave him that chance n recognized his vocal performance power is an awesome studio man, producer, prento and sound!😇😇😇🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲
@Mr Lex no need for going and look back ,in this interview has clips in his prime as a youth smh
🇻🇮God is blessing you still Yellowman 🇯🇲
Loved him from my days at Juanita Gardine!
big up king yellow dj legend .. I saw him stop one day in morant bay, st. Thomas on my way from high school ,in his yellow bmw , I also saw perform on aces disco in a place call seaforth in st. Thomas , much respect for the interview .
As a youth watching, hearing and listening to King Yellow made me who I'm today. I used to be ridiculed because I wore thick glasses but looking at his disability, thought me never let your handicap, handicap u. Much respect to Yellowman
i was having an argument today saying that Yellowman is better than Shabba ranks in my opinion. Either way hes still the boss!
+daroyalgeneral
Brigadier Jerry (Jah Love) never made your list ?
Lol. I figured that was the case. Give thanks for the support..
Shabba Ranks would tell you himself that Yellow is the boss DJ. He is a living LEGEND
i need to explore shabbas discography more closely before i make a proper judgement tho
No comparison. Yellowman has one long list of 'recorded' hits unlike any other from his era..
Absolute legend. Yessah blessah to King Yellow man!!
it makes me sad listening to your interview but you are the greatest Mr king yellow man 👑👑
What a legend and a master at his craft. He’s had so many odds stacked against him but he’s never backed down without a fight. The passion, love and resilience Yellowman exudes is unmatched.
King Yellowman, blessings, 1980 seems like yesterday
