Buy a new wardrobe Possibly owning every color known to man in his closet, it may be time to seek attire not as vibrant. It's okay to wear his outrageous getup when he is performing but on the red carpet, just be a little more conservative.
In other words, ditch the clown clothes and be a little more sensible. Remove the clock from around your neck and hang it up on the wall. Buy a Rolex.
Get a dental plan Good dental hygenie is imperative and I am pretty sure that 0 out of 5 dentists would agree that unnecessary metal, no matter how flashy, cannot be helpful. Lose the fronts and show us your pearly wh... Just take the fronts out.
Change his name Flavor Flav was a cool name when he was the over the top performer in Public Enemy. It even worked when he was romancing the Amazon, Bridgett Nielsen on the realty television show, the Surreal Life. He was the main man in Flavor of Love one and two. The show made him a household name. But, when are you too old to go by nicknames? Is it possible that he could get more deals by his government name, William Drayton Jr.?
Some may say he would be selling out, but it could help his career. He could hit the silver screen in no time. Let's be honest: He wouldn't be a Denzel but he could undoubtedly be a modern day Superfly or the Mack. After all, he does have the wardrobe for it.
Don't make a Flavor of Love 3 Shows like CSI (all of them) and Girlfriends can very satisfactorily return with numerous seasons but television producers take it too far when they make additional seasons for reality television shows. Flavor Flav has found love in a bootylicious diva, which leads me to the next resolution..
Stick with Deelishis After romance with Nikki "Hoopz" Alexander from the first Flavor of Love didn't work out (big surprise), he was determined to find his number 1 lady. And what better way to find her, than a second installment of the highest rated show on VH1.
On the second season of Flavor of Love, he searched through an array of ghettofabulous hoodrats and online porn performers to discover his one and only flavor. And she was "delicious." Properly spelled, Deelishis, she won the heart of Flavor Flav with kind heart and abnormally large posterior. Keep her around Flav. The lady sleeps with your picture beside her bed.
A word of advice: Don't make a reality show with Deelishis. We all know the curse of couples on reality TV shows: they never last. Just ask Jessica & Nick and Carmen & Dave... the list is endless.
Make a reunion album with Public Enemy Hip hop legends, Public Enemy, possibly the most controversial and politically conscious of all time, recorded such hits as "Fight the Power" and "911 is a Joke."
The group consisted of Chuck D, Professor Guff, Terminator X, DJ Lord and the most dynamic member of all, Flavor Flav. Like musical artist NAS stated, hip hop is dead. With most rappers making music about "meaningful and thought-provoking" topics such as killing, women as sex objects, cars, drugs and money, it would be refreshing to hear how real hip hop artists sounds like again.
Wear condoms With allegedly a seventh child on the way, any form of birth control this year should be your best friend. As much as I would love to see a Flavor Flav/ Deelishis creation, slow it down a little and make sure you are paying for the ones you got.
Flavor Flav, a man with an overly expressive persona, made a big enough name for himself that even white people recognize him. Now that he's on this rollercoast of success, I just hope he doesn't do anything to get derailed.
I look forward to seeing his next move in 2007.

Post a CommentI concur--great piece. On a side note, I'd also recommend that New York use some of the money from her new show to buy some self-respect. She made me SO mad in season 1.......
I'm with you, Kyria! Excellent piece.
