[this is good]

Yes I totally agree with the article and particularly: “This Public Enemy fan is left to wonder about the irony: One of rap's most militantly pro-black groups has produced one of TV's biggest black buffoons. The voice of the hype man, in the end, is the loudest left from the rap band that was socially conscious before the industry had a name for it.”

And this: “Looks like someone decided that fighting the power wasn't as profitable as joining it.” However from Flav’s perspective he obviously sees it different. And to be fair, it would be interesting to hear his side.
