      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.

    This is what all interviews should sound like. Kong was very real, spoke truthfully and openly. Kong evoked all the emotions, he made you emotional when he shead tears, he made you laugh when he recalled his past. Respect to teach and respect to Kong. Could not stop watching and listening to this one.

      @@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.

    Kong is a real man. I like how he explains life lessons. Not many “intelligent” people can understand some basic lessons life teaches because we are so in tuned to the book, we don’t pay keen attention to the real.
    And the real is where life is.
