He plays 15 instruments, the first being the piano, which he taught himself how to play when he was 5. He is actually a highly intelligent person, albeit he may seem to have know idea how to properly in normal society. I think this guy might be some kind of savant.

I had a one on one with him and Chuck D a few years ago at SXSW and I was blown away by the insight they had. Despite what the media show he is actually a normal dude with enormous musical talent. I think Flava's musical genius is hidden so he may appear to be an idiot and it is just a big circus act.

I always wondered if he was really wacked out of his mind, or just performing for the sake of an image and the money that comes with it.

Chuck D and Flava Flav are two really smart dudes.

this is actually really terrible, probably the sloppiest drumming i've ever seen on a stage. you could do this yourself given a week of practice

No, he's right. As drumming goes, this was pretty awful.

Sounds kinda like me drunk and alone in the practice room. I used to play drums when I was a teen. Haven't been actively playing in 20 years.

I respect Flav and what he has accomplished, but this is terrible drumming. His tempo was erratic, his stick work was stiff and elementary. He was striking from the elbow, not the wrist - the ONLY drummer I've seen do that effectively was Charlie Watts - his attack was way too hard, and his flourishes were muddy and out of sync.

Yeah I actually posted hoping that someone could post a better example of his musicianship. But I guess not. I could not find any. Oh well!
