[1993-06-19-USWA-TV] Interview: New Jack

[Loss]

Talk about it here.

New Jack has repackaged Mark somethingorother to be more like him.

[Kevin Ridge]

New Jack! So mellow compared to the SMW 1994 version of himself.

It's Snoop Dogg in the WMC studios, as NEW JACK makes his Yearbook debut! As a smily, happy, handshaking babyface at that! Mark Freer is upset about something and New Jack encourages him to get back to his roots. Sage advice--it worked for Tony Atlas. He's now THE HOMEBOY, y'know what I mean? He's out in a White Sox cap and baggy gold pants, and the requisite inner-city gangsta ponytail. This is all pretty hilarious--New Jack & Homeboy come off as only slightly cooler than PN News.

Odd stuff given everything we see from New Jack for the rest of the decade.

If you'd told me that this guy and the one who spent a year and a half nearly inciting riots in SMW are one and the same, I would have laughed in your face. The sad thing is, PG-13- two skinny white guys, remember- come off as so much more "gamgsta" than this. If this had been the pinnacle of New Jack's career, he wouldn't have been remembered at all, Fortunately for him and for us, it wasn't.

 

By the way, whatever happened to Mark Freer, whoever he is? He sure didn't turn into Mustafa, I know that much.

 

As crazy as it may sound, Dave's fairly hip for an old white guy. He manages to talk about these two guys without sounding condescending or showing his ignorance, unlike Bob Caudle with Tammy Fytch in SMW.
