Some people in the office say they heard on CNN that Public Enemy syncophant Flavor Flav’s time is up. But I could not find a reference on CNN’s site or Yahoo News. Anyone know the scoop? If he is dead, how?

Nothing on the AP Newswire.
Are you sure you’re not thinking of Steve Allen? I always got those two confused.
Yes, Flavor Flav is dead. It seems he sneezed, and that big-ass clock he’s got hanging off of him swung forward violently and broke his neck.
What? You mean that’s not what really happened?
Oh, nevermind.
No news of PE’s site.
No news of http://www.wallofsound.com.
No news on the site of the Cold Lamper himself.
I’d say no. Inactive, but not dead.
I back Dire Wolf on this one. If not dead, he probably has suffered some type of clock related injury. Ah the perils of fashion…
I was watching CNN this morning and half-watched a piece on Flava Flav (however it’s spelled) and Public Enemy. I did not get the impression that he was dead. CNN often plays little “Flashback 5-15 years” pieces.
My first thought was that he was dead as I watched a similar piece last night on Steve Allen hoping that he was not, in fact, dead. (He is.)
According to the message board at PE’s site,, Flavor Flav was with them when they toured the UK in June. I had heard that he was in jail for threatening a guy with a gun for talking to his girlfriend (as popularized by Eminem) but can’t corroborate that. His last album was never released unless you count NYC streetcorners.
Maybe you’re thinking of Junebug, who OG’ed, or maybe Cookiehead Jenkins…
So, he cold-clocked himself?
[sub]Man, that was bad even by my standards…[/sub]
Or maybe it was foul play and someone cleaned his clock?

Ugh…
Please Bead, watch the puns.
That was a special clock. It even spoke to him!
“Your 15 minutes are up!”
Inky: Nice of you to chime in like that…

Please Moderators - enough is enough and they’re just getting warmed up - for the love of God close this thread now!!!
Now Astro, whatever could you be tocking about?
Oh the humanity!!!
Oh, and to the OP- we can only hope so… he was rather overrated.
oh hell…whatta ya getting so WOUND UP for?
Yeah, no need to get ticked off.
:: Flashing gold teeth ::
Yeeeeaaaaahhhh Booooyyyyyeeeeee!!!
Moderator chiming in. Did someone raise the alarm?
It would have been too much to have too musical giants like Steve Allan and Flavor Flav reach the end of their calender on the same day. Anyway I would spring for a drink and watch the funeral, but I wouldn’t get too wound up about his passing because eventually everyones mainspring looses tension.
