Flava Flav’s Biography
Flavor Flav is a rap artist, and member of the influential and politically-conscious rap group Public Enemy. Born in Roosevelt, New York, Flav, a classically-trained pianist, attended Adelphi University in Long Island where, while rapping under the name MC DJ Flavor he met then graphic design student Carlton Ridenhour (Chuck D). Chuck D compiled DJ Terminator X, Professor Griff and Flavor Flav to form Public Enemy and release the debut album Yo! Bum Rush the Show in 1987.
Flav participated in Public Enemy as second rapper or vocalist (vocals were mostly done by Chuck D), and as the band’s drummer. His stuttering vocal style has influenced rappers including Busta Rhymes and Ol’ Dirty Bastard.
He often wears a clock around his neck, stating that observers will ‘know what time it is…’. These clocks became one of Flav’s trademarks, along with comic sunglasses. Flav is also known to wear flashy colors, such as hot pink, and a metal-horned helmet on his head.. Flav realizes that his style is bizarre, and he is proud of his own uniqueness.
