The new album will feature a guest appearance by Smooth Bee of the duo Nice & Smooth on the track “Baby Baby Baby.” “This is the way I want people to perceive me so I don`t have [any] collaborations,” says Flav, who also experiments with R&B on the album. “It has music for all ages, from 10 up `til senior citizens. I worked hard on it and everything is Flav.”

“Flavor Man” is stated to be his favorite track. “It’s because of the heart and soul that I put into it. I’m playing live instruments on there and doing all my lead vocals and background vocals,” he says. “I always pictured it being a big record.”

As far as “Flavor of Love” goes he plans on putting the show to rest and explore other opportunties.

“If there’s a connection this season then there might not be a reason for “Flavor of Love 3,” he says. “I ain’t scared to do it again, but I ain’t really trying to. I want to do a talk show or something. I’ve done enough dating on TV. I’m ready to spread my wings and go down other avenues. I don’t want to just stay stuck on one page cause you don’t make it to the end of the book that way.”

Flav is planning on doing a solo tour, a book and another Public Enemy album which will possibly be done by him. Flav states, “Chuck D wants to release another Public Enemy album, but I always wanted the next Public Enemy album to be done by me.”

Usher Decides To Go Broadway

Usher
While on Broadway, Usher is currently playing the role of Billy Flynn in the Broadway play Chicago. The play originally opened on Broadway in 1975. The play has been running non-stop since 1996 and in November will celebrate its 10th anniversary. Usher will be playing on Broadway until October 1.

“I decided to become an entertainer many years ago. I didn’t really know what that meant until I began to look at other people who had become the motivating force for me to do what I do”, states Usher.

After looking at such legends as Sammy Davis Jr., Ben Vereen and Bob Fosser, Usher knew that he wanted to be a triple threat: dance, sing and act like they did. When he gets around 40 years old, Usher says he wants to say that he experienced it all and had fun doing it.

When asked about failing doing Broadway, Usher says he isn’t worrying about failure while doing Broadway since he believes the person who dwells on his failure can’t see the lesson in it. “You have to become greater. You have to get up and keep going if you do fail. I can’t say that I’ve failed at anything because it has all been an experience, a journey. Entertainment is that”, states Usher.

After doing this his next plan is set on a successful label Ush Records which he says is priority and he hopes to get back to the studio as soon as he’s done to get the next album.
