A Tribute to Flavor Flav
Lover. Rapper. Philosopher. Inventor of new words. This pioneer in skanktabulous television is finally retiring. There will not be a Flavor of Love 4. He’s let us into his life, included us in his search for true love, and taught us new words.
And the ride has been both Romantical and Dramatical.
Flav’s mere existence on celebreality has spawned two direct spin-offs with I Love New York and Charm School and an indirect spin-off with Rock of Love. Call me crazy but if there was no Flavor of Love, there would be no Rock of Love. You can thank Mr. Flavor Flav for paving the way. Word. 
But, alas, all good things come to end. Let’s do a quick timeline (Because timeline’s are fun. That’s why.):
1959: Flav enters the world. The universe smiles.
1980s: Flav raps in some group. (Just kiddin’. But seriously, let’s skip to the good stuff.)
2004: Flav appears on VH1’s The Surreal Life. He falls for the very large, very manly Brigitte Nielsen.
2005: Strange Love premieres. Brigitte leaves on a jet plane. She doesn’t know when she’ll be back again.
New Year’s Day, 2006: Flavor of Love premieres. And so begins Flav’s quest to find true love and Tiffany “New York” Pollard’s rise to super skank stardom.
August 2006: After Hoopz breaks his little rapper heart, Flav embarks on yet another journey to find the “flavor of love.”
February 2008: The third time’s a charm and Flav comes back for one last shot.
May 2008: Thing 2 returns to France to take her man. Flav has found love. Good for him. Bad for us.
