How do you make a copy of a youtube video before they can remove it?
This video was taped just over a year ago.
I’ve seen Kam and Keno several times since then and have newer interviews. I need to go ‘dig in the crates…’
When was this interview done?
Yo Kam is my DUDE!!!!! Nobody has the same charisma and presence that he has. He nearly raised me through his music and for that alone he will always be my favorite MC to the grave!!!!!!
