'The anthem was a long time bucket list item,,, that was fun!' the rapper said of his a cappella performance before this weekend's Bucks game
Every performance of the “The Star-Spangled Banner” exists on a spectrum that’s been years in the making. On one end, you’ve got culturally defining performances like Whitney Houston at Super Bowl XXV or Jimi Hendrix at Woodstock. On the other, you’ve got Fergie and whatever that was in 2018. As of this weekend, we have a new touchpoint on the scale: pretty bad but also pretty endearing.
Attacking it a cappella, Flavor Flav—clad in his signature big clock necklace, of course—gave a performance that was shaky at times and triumphant at others, complete with a triple “of the brave” coda at the end. As it is wont to do, the internet had some... mixed opinions. “NO BOY,” wrote one fan, quoting the rapper’s iconic catchphrase. “Someone paint this entire song then put it in the Louvre,” wrote another.
