Does anyone have the time? Oh, never mind, we see it. Here's Flavor Flav wearing one of his trademark timepieces backstage at the 1989 American Music Awards. We don't know who's holding the camera, but he doesn't look all that happy to see them. His friend, Tupac Shakur, looks a little happier though.
Still making their names back in the late 80s, both Flav and Shakur would become icons of the West Coast rap music scene, Shakur in his own right and Flav as part of the iconic group Public Enemy. Truly breaking through into the mainstream in the early to mid-1990s, both acts were hugely influential in bringing social and political content into rap music and popularizing it to the point it became part of the national conversation. Whilst Shakur's life was tragically cut short in 1996, Public Enemy continue making music to this day.
