"Yeah Boyyyy!"


This is the birth child of my 2 best friends in the world Kimani and Art, they still having a huge influence over me. The back story is good, trust me. As a teenager we would have movie marathons on weekend nights.  One of such marathons was we watched Phantasm. Rightfully so Phantasm is a classic horror movie because the funeral home is viewed as a real place of horror. We can only assume what things happen to us after death?! As we watched the movie we joked about the Tall Man and his stiff (Learch from the Addams Family) delivery of movement and lines. The most iconic line being "Boy!!" which he bellowed out as he chased little Mike around the town.
Flava Flav is more recently known for his Celebrity House, Flavor of Love, and Strange Love reality TV shows. However i remember him from being part of the social active hip hop group Public Enemy. It took me sometime to fully understand how important they were as a group in the 1990s. Still i can remember almost on cue with every track Flava Flav would say "yeahhh, boyyy!"
