Flavor Flav

I set our house on fire when I was a little child playing with lighters. Boy, did I burn the place down! ”

Back in the day, when the D.J. would be playing a record, I'd be on the mic trying to hype up the crowd. So once Public Enemy became a rap group, I decided that that's the role that I wanted to take on. I wanted to be the one that was hyping, because I've always been good at it. I can hype up any crowd. ”

Back in the day, cooking definitely was the thing where you could make a lot of money. Also, it was something that I liked to do. ”

What I'm trying to do is put back into rap music what's missing - which is the good part, the fun part, that party part. ”

Doing scripted acting is a challenge to me. I can't remember things too good, so remembering lines is a challenge to your boy. ”

Hip-hop is when you have crowd participation; when you chant at the audience and they chant back at you; when you wave your hands in the air like you just don't care; or some breakdancing. Everything today is just low-beat, real bass-y, bass-y, good rap records. ”

If anyone wants to know what the definition of 'dope' means, it's: 'Definition of Public Enemy.' ”

I got a way to get through to kids. I try to take that and use that to my advantage. If we work on the kids right now, I'm telling you, they'll be making less mistakes, the jails will be gettin' less full. It's all about what we do with the kids. ”

I just want to show the world it's never too late to get your diploma, and show kids they should stay in school and not wait until you're old to get it. ”

I try and spend a lot of time with my kids. I try and have fun with my kids. I try to put father time in there. ”
