    -----
    Flavor Flav opened up to VladTV about being approached to be on Vh1's The Surreal Life in 2003, and he revealed that MC Hammer convinced him to do the show after telling him that it brought him new opportunities. Flav went on to speak about setting out with a goal to make a TV career out of his time on the show, which ended up happening with a spin-off with his co-star, Brigitte Nielsen. He also spoke about doing Flavor of Love, which still has the record for most viewers on any Vh1 show.

      Flavor of Love was the ratched version of those shows. That's why iit was hilarious and possibly racist. Thankfully they realized that and started clowning low down funky whites with that old hair band loser on Rock of Love to get a little balance. They were all guilty pleasures and fall of Rome type stuff.

I'm with my peoples here." During a really violent time in Brooklyn, not one person was harmed during the shoot. Nobody had beef that day. I will always remember, love, and value Public Enemy.

    We would've never had flavor of love, OR strange love if it wasn't for the surreal life & Hammer convincing him to do the show.

    Hes not even saying that much. But it’s the way he says it. He should narrate every tv show. He is so hype. Man I would pay big bucks for an audio self help book or something like that narrated by Flave. Could listen to him all day.

    It’s crazy how things are entangled..if Hammer didn’t talk Flav into Surreal Life..he wouldn’t have done his show that spawned it New York for us.
