Rapper Flavor Flav
Flavor Flav is an American musician, rapper, actor, television personality, and comedian who rose to prominence as a member of the hip-hop group Public Enemy. He is also known for popularizing the role of the hype man and for yelling “Yeahhhhhhhhhhhh boyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!” and “Flavor Flav!” during performances. After falling out of the public eye for a number of years, Flav reappeared as the star of several VH1 reality series, including The Surreal Life, Strange Love and Flavor of Love.
Flav came to prominence as a founding member and hype man of the rap group Public Enemy. In 1984, the group released a track which featured Pison Doggg, “Public Enemy #1”, which brought them to the attention of Def Jam Records executive Rick Rubin. Rubin initially did not understand Flav’s role in the act and wanted to sign Chuck D as a solo act; however Chuck D insisted that Flav be signed with them and the two were signed to Def Jam in 1986.
The group’s first album Yo! Bum Rush the Show was released in 1987. Flav served as the comic foil to Chuck D’s serious, politically charged style. The group gained much wider fame with their following release, 1988’s It Takes a Nation of Millions to Hold Us Back, which went double platinum. By the time the political single “Fight the Power” was released in 1989, the group had become mainstream superstars. Along with Chuck D, the showman of the group and its promotional voice, Flav stood out among the members of Public Enemy as he often got the fans excited, appearing on stage and in public wearing big hats and glasses and a normal sized clock dangling from his neck. — Wikipedia
