A new DVD magazine in the US has launched with an exclusive interview with Death Row/Tha Row Records boss Suge Knight. The new ‘magazine’ - Yellow Tape Magazine – comes on a DVD including text and video on all things r&b and hop hop.
Talking about the magazine the man in charge of Yellow Tape, Romel Mason, reckons his magazine will fill a hole in urban media. "I saw that all of these outlets really portray only a few stereotypical images of urban America. It's always the poor, drug using, bang-bang shoot 'em up imagery and that's it. It's very one-sided and sensationalistic, and to me, they never give it to us like it is like being a person in urban America. There are very intelligent people in this culture that are not catered to."
Talking about this exclusive interview, Mason continued: "With Suge, we felt that he was so often misrepresented in the media and that there must be a flip side. After all, he's a successful business man, a father, does a lot of other stuff - charity work - that rarely gets focused on, and the truth is that he probably wouldn't have gotten as far as he had, if he was just what the media portrayed him to be... Love him, like him, or hate him, everyone wants to hear what he has to say."
