Flavor Flav's visual trademark is an oversized clock hanging from his neck. After falling out of the public eye in former years, he has recently reappeared as a star of American reality television. He has starred in multiple VH1 programs, including Flavor of Love, and the 2007 Comedy Central Roast. His catchphrase is a very emphasized "yeah boy" that sounds like "yeeeeah booooyyyyee", which he uses as an introduction to himself or his performances, as well as an answer.One other famous line he tends to use often is "Wow", spoken like "wooooooooooowwwwwww"; he uses this when excited, scared, or learns something interesting.

Flavor Flav provided vocals and occasional drum beats, as well as a comic foil to the political message of Chuck D. He is able to play multiple musical instruments. Some also credit Flavor Flav as a major influence in the development of the rap sidekick (often referred to as a "hype man"). Unlike later practitioners of the hype man role, Flavor Flav provided a much stronger stage presence and musical contributions. His clumsiness and hypeness was the center of attention on songs such as "Too Much Posse", "Cold Lampin' with Flavor" and "911 Is a Joke". On the group's 1998 "comeback" single -- following a four-year hiatus -- "He Got Game", the title song to a contemporaneous film by Spike Lee, Flav essentially performs a duet with Chuck D.
