Exclusive: Tango of "I Love New York" tells all in Black Press interview 
News: DC Livers invited to set of Young & Restless. Meet the cast beginning July 24.
(BlackPressMagazine.com) – It's the interview most of America has been waiting for.
In a no holds barred, unedited podcast interview with Black Press Magazine, TANGO whose real name is Patrick S. Hunter, tells all: What was real? What wasn't? Did he really have love for New York" or was it all just a game?
During the unprecedented 30 minute interview, Tango lets loose and provides never before heard comments on why he went on the show, how he's mending his broken heart and what he's up to next. Plus, he chooses Black Press Magazine to announce that he will have his own show.
“I Love New York” was a spin off of the reality shows “Flavor of Love” that made the VH1 Network the most popular cable network in African American households throughout its season run. The show is a dating show where men competed for the attention of “New York,” a self-professed ghetto fabulous woman whose real name is Tiffany Pollard. "I Love New York" took the number spot and “Charm School,” the network’s newest reality offering benefited from its lead-in to capture second place.
But there's more than meets this eye with Tango.
He's a busy record label executive who enjoyed a successful career as an accomplished ghostwriter for rap, alternative and R&B artists. He has performed and recorded with several well-known artists including Busta Rhymes, Wu-Tang clan, Fat Joe, Naughty by Nature, and his good friend and mentor “Shock-G.” He was also the front man for the disbanded rap group Digital Underground. During the interview, Tango doesn't flinch when his lyrical skills are put to the test and spits out a freestyle flow to showcase his talent.
There may be no stopping the evolution of Hip-Hop or prevent the invasion of those who would rather see its demise. But, Tango hopes that he will be given the chance to stand up as its front line of defense and lead the charge in Hip-Hop’s “New School” Era.
King of new media
Within 48 hours of the taping, the interview was already national news and burning of the Internet message boards and websites like MySpace.com, VH1 blog spot and Sister2Sister.
"It was amazing how quickly people found out about the interview and how intensely they reacted," said DC Livers who conducts the interview.
During the interview Tango expressed regrets of some of the things that happened on the show.
"I had no idea that he'd say some of the things he said, but I can certainly see why New York chose Tango instead of Chance or Mr. Boston," said Livers who is managing editor for Black Press Magazine. "He was one of the most challenging, unpredictable people I've interviewed. Most people from these types of shows have short shelf live, but if he keeps it up I wouldn't be surprised if he's hear to stay."
Update: Tango gets his own show
