New Flaaaavorrrr Flaaaav Video - "Flavor Man"

We wanna call this the worst music video of all time, but it's more of a "let's throw some b-roll together" than a proper, budgeted clip. The saddest part is that the tune's refrain is gonna be stuck in our heads for the rest of the day.

Album's out tomorrow. Entertainment Weekly says, "Flav's 77-minute solo debut, Flavor Flav, is roughly 76 minutes too long." Ouch, boyyyeeeeeeeeee.

"The Hot 1", recorded before the VH1 bullsht but included on the album, is actually a good track. Could have actually been an interesting album if he went in that direction. Oh well.

further evidence that Chuck D carried this guy on his back.

last time I checked Chuck D didn't rap on 911 is a joke, which is a classic, that samples another classic thriller, which makes it halloween related. My point that being that the bomb squad also contributed to it taking a nations of millions to hold Public Enemy back. As per this song though, it's the opposite of Flavor, or at least my interpretation of Flavor.
Yeah Boy! Flavor Flav!

It was my own fault that I clicked on that. I should have known better. Those precious moments of my life are now gone forever...

I bet he's the most popular costume idea this year. I think Puffy is ghostwriting.

Ian, I gotta chime in on the "911" is a classic comment. Even when I was banging Fear of a Black Planet in the 8th grade, I realized 911 was some goofy filler bullshit to lighten the dark, militant mood of the album. The same is true for that "Can't Do Nuthin For Ya, Man" bullshit. The only reason 911 was released as the second single is b/c Terrordome caused such a stir with its raging anti-Semitic lyrics. I got mad Flava love and he worked well as a second fiddle to Chuck. But any song that featured him as the premier mc was comic-relief at best.

Yo baby, can't you see that's nonsense you watchin'? Look, don't nobody look like that,
nobody even live that, you know what I'm sayin'? You watchin' garbage, not'in' but garbage.
Straight up garbage.
Yo, why don't you just back up from the TV,
read a book or som'in. Read about yourself,
learn your culture, you know what I'm sayin'?
