Here’s Why Flavor Flav Is More Than Public Enemy’s Hype Man

    Flavor Flav was recently attacked at a Las Vegas casino and taken to the hospital with minor injuries. But it looks like the Public Enemy luminary has already bounced back. While attending the 2018 NAMM Show at the Anaheim Convention Center on Friday (January 26), he showcased his piano-playing prowess.

    The Flavor Of Love phenom shared a video of the moment to his Instagram account with a caption that read, “Thanks for capturing this and sending it to me,, Fun day at #NAMM just messing around on the keys.”

    Many may not realize Flav is a gifted multi-instrumentalist. In fact, he plays over a dozen different instruments — from bass and piano to drums. In an interview with HipHopDX, he opened up about sometimes feeling misread.

    “I really feel people underestimate me,” Flav told DX. “You know the only thing that keeps me overestimated is me keeping myself out there in front of people’s eyes and showing them that, ‘Yes, this is who I am and this is what I really do, and this is what I can do.’ I’m the best at it. And ain’t nobody in this business better at it than I.”

    Over the years, Flav has routinely jumped around from instrument to instrument during Public Enemy live shows. Although P.E. is currently on a break while mastermind Chuck D tours with Prophet of Rage, it likely won’t be long before Flav is back out there.

    Until then, watch the clip above.

    1. I love flavor flav and p.e. They speak the real about today’s society. Plus, i never have to worry about public enemy selling out like Eminem. They truly love the culture. Public enemy must be considered one of the best hip-hop groups of all time. I can’t wait for a new p.e. album to hit the shelf. The music is still incredible like the old days. Chuck d and boys still have the fire in the belly. Public enemy is a true musical treat compare to the gay shit of today. Public enemy #1! Yeah boyee!

      1. Actually PE sold out when the jevvs got Professor Griff kicked ou tthe group for criticizing Israel and bringing up jevvish supremacy. After that it was “kosher-conscious” aka anti-white message only.

      2. Take your goofy broken English Estonia loving goofy ass somewhere else. That old school shit is just that OLLDDDDD

    2. Im not surprise he comes out of the best era of hip hop where you had to have talent unlike today where if you popping pills color your hair like rainbow mumble words to a half decent beat you are called a rapper its very obvious that the powers that control this wackiness has an evil plan to destroy the youth

      1. Yo, idiot, there’s no conspiracy, a, lot of people just don’t give a shit about hearing a message in their music, they just want to enjoy themselves. Besides, no conscious rapper says anything original anyway, they’re just paraphrasing an idea that people who read books already talk about without needing a high school dropout from Compton to explain it to them inadequately.

        Parents are destroying the youth by having children that they can’t afford to support and are emotionally incapable of dealing with. If you want to save the youth, start by sterilizing them so they can’t have kids.
