Bum Rush The Show,” in 1987. Thanks to his new found success on VH1's Flavor of Love, group member Flavor Flav has noticed a resurgence of a new breed of younger fans at Public Enemy gigs.
"There's a whole new generation of Flavor Flav fans coming out to Public Enemy shows and there's a lot of parents that are bringing their kids to Public Enemy shows that really didn't even know about Public Enemy, but they were coming to see Flav," Flavor Flav said during a recent interview with the Tribune from Philadelphia.

Back in the late `80s, a then unspoiled and unexploited rapper by the name of William Jonathan Drayton, Jr. broke into the limelight under the name Flavor Flav as part of the seminal Public Enemy.

He and Public Enemy partner, Chuck D, have found themselves fully booked to shock and awe a whole new generation of audiences.
