Music video

The music video for "What's Your Flava?" was filmed in the Czech Republic and was directed by Little X. It is a parody of the 1971 film '' Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory''. The video sees David offering a chance for four girls (one from New York City, one from Paris, one from London and one from Toronto) to win a tour around his music factory if they find golden CDs hidden inside his new album ''Slicker Than Your Average''. Then, three girls are eliminated one by one because, as with the film, they act up during the tour. One girl (the girl from Toronto) remains and leaves with David via a glass elevator exiting the factory, similar to the ending of the film.
