Public Enemy, the hip-hop group from Long Island, New York that is known for its politically charged lyrics, criticism of the media, and active interest in the concerns of the African American community, has rapidly attracted various types of audiences ever since the release of their critically acclaimed debut album, “Yo! 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. "They got a two for one. They got to come see Flav and got to learn about Public Enemy at the same time, which I think was great."
