Flavor Flav: “I Thought Chuck Wrote ‘Baseheads’ About Me”

DJ Touchtone — Mon, 06 Jun 2011 00:16:45 +0000

(www.theurbandaily.com) While many TV audiences know William Drayton, aka Flavor Flav, as a colorful (and sometimes polarizing) figure on his reality TV shows, the multi-talent came to prominence for many as a member of the rap group Public Enemy. Public Enemy’s messages of Black power and social consciousness run contrary to some of the images we’ve seen on the TV from Flav, but this conflict and many others are addressed in Flavor Flav’s new memoir, Flavor Flav: The Icon. After 25 years in show business Flav takes readers in vivid detail behind the scenes of his multifaceted career discussing everything from his abuse of drugs to his time in prison.

In part one of TheUrbandaily.com‘s interview with Flav we asked him what it must have felt like to record and perform an anti-drug song like “Night Of The Living Baseheads” when he was a user of the drug himself.

(AllHipHop News) Another prison guard at Rikers Island has been disciplined for making an unauthorized visit to see superstar rapper Lil Wayne, who is finishing a one year sentence for having a handgun on his tour bus in 2007.

According to the New York Daily News, Captain Raphael Collazzo was suspended without pay for 10 days for visiting the rapper for over 45 minutes, while he was in his isolation cell for having headphones and a charger for an MP3 player.

Capt. Collazzo, a 20-year-veteran, is not expected to be disciplined any further. He also denied breaking any rules during the unexplained visit.

He is at least the third guard at Rikers Island to get into trouble for visiting with Lil Wayne.

In April of 2010, Amelia Negron was fired for allegedly making an impromptu visit to the rapper’s cell.

In September, Captain LaTanya Brown was accused of visiting the rapper, in addition to giving him preferential treatment by letting him stay in his cell while other inmates were on the recreation yard.
