Quoted: For the same reason that the same person(Flav) would were diapers on the outside of a $5000 suit. The answer is simple: it's a retarded culture for retarded people(the whole rap thing, not blacks in general, observe the photo of the whigger). I disagree. I think that rap - in it's original phase, as well as the "street" and club level homebrew stuff is an effective musical means of communication, and can express a wide range of emotions, just as many other art forms are "purer" when done to express an otherwise inexpressible feeling than simply for $$$. The crap that's pawned off on the "live the stereotype" crowd? Nowhere near it, but it rides the coattails of it's unreknowned sibling. Kind of like the difference between real punk and the stuff marketed as punk. That said, do I listen to it? Nope. |

I doesnt matter who you are if you see a dude with a big ass clock around his neck you think of Flava Flav and public enemy. |

Its to keep track of their 15 minutes of fame... oops your time is up. Flav has had a clock on his neck since 1985 and is still on tv making an ass out of himself. This is the longest 15 min in history. And he never did anything except say a few words here and there. Never was a "rapper". Just an occaisional "yea boooy". I'd say his 15 min were over about 20 years ago. That guy has got to be like 50 years old now. Anybody else who has wore a clock is imitating him. |

• Friends from his early years reportedly call him "Rico Drayton."
• Flav is a classically trained pianist, as is his mother. • Flav does not like having his face touched. • He essentially invented the role of the rap sidekick (often referred to as a "hype man"), innovating the absurdist delivery with his gold teeth, clownish sunglasses, and clock dangling from his neck. • Flav says he wears the clock around his neck so people will, "know what time it is." The clock is set to either twelve o'clock or six o'clock. • Flav still wears his oldest "clock pendant", which he has owned since 1987 (he bought a whole box of them from a department store back then.) |

When your hands are frequently cuffed behind your back and you can't see your watch, its hard to see what time it is!
