Notable/Quotable: Flavor Flav

By Karu F. Daniels, BlackVoices.com

"I'm not done with reality TV, but what I'm trying to do now is get to the movie screen. The sitcom stuff is a good way to get you there, because people see you reading lines, remembering lines and acting. Right now, I have a feeling your boy Flavor Flav is doing one hell of a job ... I'm getting ready to be the next Morgan Freeman. Denzel Washington, I'm coming!"

Hip-hop veteran and runaway reality TV star Flavor Flav about his acting goals. (New York Daily News)

3. Flav, put together a creative team that can help you rise. Good ideas are priceless and they are the fuel that drives the Hollywood Money Cycle. Next reality show, "Big Time!" Give the intellectuals and creative Blacks a chance to shine under your umbrella? Yeah Boy! Call me and we can make serious money. It's all about FUBU and Blacks are hot.

4. I really dont like him.

Takusan at 11:32AM on Apr 30th 2008

5. Thank you Lord, my prayers have been answered. This flavor-flavor guy will not make any shows that will degrade women anymore. He is just a hopeless burnt raisin looking for love in a dellusional reality TV program.

6. Not in this life will you ever compete or be compared to Denzel or Morgan Freeman. First you would need to lean the English language!!!

Miss P at 4:16PM on Apr 30th 2008

7. MY HAT GOES OFF TO FLAV...STOP AND THINK 'BOUT IT YA'LL...HE FOUND HIS NITCH, SO WHY NOT LET HIM ENJOY IT AND YA'LL STOP HATING...WHAT MAN WOULD DENY GETTING A CAST FULL OF IN HOUSE PUAKENIKENI, SMASH 'EM WHENEVER HE WANTS, AND GET PAID TO DO IT...THEN A SIT COM AFTER THAT...COME ON NOW. HE MAY NOT BE ANY FLAVOR OF EYECANDY, BUT FLAV IS A PIMP...AND VEACHWUN IS HIS BIA'CH

PHELONIE at 6:50AM on May 1st 2008

11. I like Flav. I really do. But an actor, he is not.

12. Flav is a talentless moron who is being pimped by VH-1. And, for him to even breathe Denzel's or Morgan Freeman's name in the same sentence as his own is abject lunacy. I've seen this minstrel show of his......this excuse for a reality show and I'll NEVER look again because each time I saw Thing-1 and her hoodrat twin sister Thing-2 I'm serious y'all I got the irritable bowel syndrome. Just from LOOKIN at those two raggedy-mouthed creatures! Flav, find a corner, sit yo banchee-lookin azz down in it and be real quiet. You are not now, nor will you EVER be the next ANYTHING!!! Especially not the next Morgan Freeman or Denzel Washington. Period. Case closed.

IMHO at 12:41PM on May 1st 2008

13. Oh poor baby. Someone needs to tell him the truth. Man, you cannot act.

mommie at 12:51PM on May 1st 2008

14. Flav has burdened himself with the insipid clown personna which has him a black stereotype reminiscent of a Vaudville blackface. I cringe with embarrasment every time I see him, even when he is trying to be serious. How dare he compare himself to the very talented Mr Washington or Mr Freeman!

V Lake at 2:31PM on May 1st 2008

15. If flavor is talented then it's a lot of brothers on the corner in the HOOD who are a lot more talented. He is a buffoon and fool and anyone that seriously watches what he has to offer should go and find a good book to read before they are influenced by this fool. EVIDENTLY WE AS A PEOPLE HAVE A REAL PROBLEM WITH FOOLS LIKE FLAVOR FLAV. What a waste of a empty skull.
