goddamn that new VH1 "Celebreality" Flavor of Love show is really, really embarassing.

Not that he ever carried himself with great dignity to begin with, and not that its any sillier than Ozzy's TV-ification... but geez... its just depressing.

no longer cold lampin', i'm afraid.

he was sometimes the best rapper in PE.

dep-barrass-emressing tidings indeed

― t\'\'t (t\'\'t), Thursday, 5 January 2006 00:04 (twenty years ago)

it's so shameless they might as well film him smoking crack with some trannywhores and get it over with.

there is def. some weird racial/racist shit going on as well, judging from the comments of some of the "contestants".

― Shakey Mo Collier (Shakey Mo Collier), Thursday, 5 January 2006 00:07 (twenty years ago)

i saw one episode and it definitely creeped me out, though the bonding between some of the contestants was more interesting than anything i've seen on Run's House.

has any material for the solo album he was recording back in the late 80s ever leaked? i think he was doing it with bomb squad and everyone like that.....man....that's a great lost record probably....

― M@tt He1geson (Matt Helgeson), Thursday, 5 January 2006 00:36 (twenty years ago)

late 80s or late 90s?

I love that a dude who had to go away for a while for drug addiction is doing beer ads.

all things considered and flav being flav, i'm impressed he's doing much of anything at all

― gypsy mothra (gypsy mothra), Thursday, 5 January 2006 17:20 (twenty years ago)

freal. I was coming in to ask "when was the rise, exactly?"

― Austin Still (Austin, Still), Thursday, 5 January 2006 17:36 (twenty years ago)

what is this show? is it like Average Joe but with Flavor Flav as Joe?

― Barnaby (Barnaby), Thursday, 5 January 2006 17:58 (twenty years ago)

no, more like this

― Haikunym (Haikunym), Thursday, 5 January 2006 18:10 (twenty years ago)

flav was supposed to be coming out with a solo after Muse Sick came out, but it never surfaced - didn't they leave Def Jam very shortly after this?

No, they left around four years later, after the He Got Game soundtrack.

He produced his tracks on Muse Sick, and I remember them being pretty good and having high hopes for a solo album. A 12" containing 2 of the tracks intended for the solo album came out a few years back, but that's aboot it.

oh man, THIS is really, really embarassing

― Shin Oliva Suzuki, Wednesday, 6 January 2010 11:33 (sixteen years ago)

1:51 is the peak

― Jamie_ATP, Wednesday, 6 January 2010 11:51 (sixteen years ago)

come on....he's ok.
i cant be offended since his liaison with brigitte in Strange Love (which i consider as art).

― meisenfek, Wednesday, 6 January 2010 12:18 (sixteen years ago)

the great thing about the 2:12 mark is that you realize there's another 3:06 to go

― Herodcare for the Unborn (J0hn D.), Wednesday, 6 January 2010 13:43 (sixteen years ago)

can i get this on record that this moment truly marks the death of the autotune?

― ┌∩┐(◕_◕)┌∩┐ (Steve Shasta), Wednesday, 6 January 2010 20:01 (sixteen years ago)

I promise til death do us part,
For better for worse,
Til one of us end up in a hearse,
Deep in your heart you know I'll never let you go...

I think that you're cheating on me,
You think that I'm cheating on you,
So what we gonna do?
Deep in your heart you know I'll never let you go...

ugh, what a fucking mess

― The Owls of Ja Rule (DJP), Friday, 19 October 2012 18:59 (thirteen years ago)

the phrase "his fiancee of eight years" is pretty unusual

― some dude, Friday, 19 October 2012 19:02 (thirteen years ago)

by the final season of "Flavor of Love" he wasn't even trying to pretend she didn't exist; the whole thing was "should I stay with my fiancee or hook up with a random crazy reality show contestant"

― The Owls of Ja Rule (DJP), Friday, 19 October 2012 19:05 (thirteen years ago)

I think you mean ANOTHER random crazy reality show contestant

― stop swearing and start windmilling (Shakey Mo Collier), Friday, 19 October 2012 19:45 (thirteen years ago)

lol fair point

― The Owls of Ja Rule (DJP), Friday, 19 October 2012 19:50 (thirteen years ago)

Don't read the comments.
