I'm may be too old for this but I don't get the way y'all are using the "Z-list" term, which as I understand it was a sort of mutual-aid marketing ploy for tiny bloggers to beat search-engine rankings, carrying no implications regarding merit. I might be wrong.
But being old I can remember when Fear of a Black Planet came out, and I have to disagree regarding Flavor Flav. Far from being the no-talent guy, he served as the foil and intellectual counterpoint to Chuck D. They had a sort of "call and response" church dialog not unlike---this is an ironic comparison---what I saw from Ben Kinchlow and Pat Robertson on the 700 Club during those few seconds I could stomach that insulting travesty of a TV program. He also served as the comic relief, not only with the goofy clock chained around his neck, but ripping into ghetto stereotypes ("I can't do nuttin for you man") when not attacking serious issues ironically ("9-1-1 is a joke").
And dudes, he grew up a couple of miles from where I did! I guess I'm inclined to cut him some slack.
