Flavor Flav says it was a thrill to be on “The Masked Singer” … but, he thinks the show’s producers gave him up too early — and, he had at least one song he really wanted to do.

We caught up with the rapper in Los Angeles Wednesday … and, we had to ask him about his run on the hit competition singing show after he was unmasked as “Space Ranger” in this week’s episode.

In case you haven’t seen it … Flav took his mask off after singing “Cleanin’ Up the Town” on “Ghostbusters” night — his second song of the season after he belted out “Bad Blood” the previous week.

Flavor Flav adds that singing “Bad Blood” in particular was a thrill … ’cause everyone knows he’s “King Swiftie” — a huge fan of Taylor Swift‘s

FF says he loved his experience on the hit show … but, he thinks the production team made the hints about his identity too early, and he’s bummed about his quick exit — especially since he had at least one song he was particularly excited about.

After knocking this one off his bucket list … we had to know if there was anything else he wanted to strike off too — and, it sounds like he’s got aspirations for a pretty big TV show.

We talked about that show … as well as his upcoming reality show where he’s going to finally get his high school diploma, “Billy Madison”-style — a project teased to us last year.
