“Suge Knight is Taking on the World”
Suge Knight has a new reality show, Unfinished Business, and it looks like the most outrageous show since Cooking With Coolio launched a couple months ago. The show has apparently been in the works since 2004, and although no networks have signed on yet, an official trailer was posted on the Web this weekend.
The trailer is so chaotic and disorganized that it’s difficult to grasp exactly what the show is supposed to be about, but it seems that Knight is on a talent search to resuscitate his crumbling record label, Death Row Records. The label was all but abandoned when Knight went to jail in 1997, and it filed for bankruptcy protection in 2006.
I always thought the power relations between Tyra Banks and her contestants on America’s Next Top Model were pretty dictatorial and extreme, but judging from the trailer, Suge Knight takes it to a whole new level. If he doesn’t like the shirt a particular contestant is wearing, he tells him to take it off and lights it on fire. If Knight is disappointed or annoyed with the contestants, he and his henchmen just beat the shit out of them in the lobby of Knight’s office.
