The Fat Boys were one of the greatest groups in Hip Hop History! Their contributions cannot be denied! Another outstanding interview. R.I.P Buffy & Prince Markie Dee 🙏🏼🕊💐
First record I bought. A 45 of Disco 3 with the b side Fat Boys. Brings back good memories. Nuff Raspect Kool Rock Ski. R.I.P Buffy. R.I.P Prince Markie D.
I have only 1 45 of the Fat Boys & it's "Wipe Out" correct me if I'm wrong but I know it wasn't their greatest hit but I believe it was their BIGGEST hit to date sales wise.
Kool Rock-Ski is very active on social networks, interesting, sincere, funny, real, not the big head. Hip Hop would be bigger with more people like him.
@@UniqueAccessEnt Thanks for the work..I know it's a passion above all. Always very relevant and interesting. We are far from the polimics. And also there are the subtitles which helps a lot when you are French.
FIRST ONE ☝🏿 HERE TO GIVE SALUTATIONS TO MY BROTHER IN BEATS KOOL ROCK SKI...THE FAT BOYS MADE KRUSH GROOVE PERIOD. I’M NOT TAKING ANYTHING AWAY FROM RUN-DMC, LL COOL J, SHEILA E. OR MY HOMETOWN BROTHERS...NEW EDITION!!!!!!
The FAT BOYS = Trail Blazers, Pioneers. Feel good fun music as far as I see it, as time went on others did it but they were one of the first to do it and do it quite well. Thanks to Buffy Thanks to Prince Markie Dee Thanks to Cool Rock Ski Our country our culture our music is rich.
Even though they were pushed into a gimmicky direction, the Disco 3/The Fat Boys were always lyrically top tier in there era. The first album stamped and sealed that fact. But I remember around 86-87 I wasn't trying to hear them at all. Sadly, being young, changing landscape of hip hop and having an overzealous manager pulling the strings and pushing the gimmicks was the nail in the coffin. But they will ALWAYS go down as Hall Of Fame legends and pioneers. Rock on for ever Dj Doc Nice and Prince Markie Dee
@DIGITAL TRADE MUSIC Eh...I think NY held strong through 94. Even after the West started influencing things. I'm talking more about the shift in NY after Rakim in 86...and really back to 85 with LL, rap def got more lyrically dense. The 'old school' way of MCing was out. Plus the fact that Fat Boys had really become parody rap in a sense. Wipeout, Chubby Checker etc... It just wasn't the look anymore. I mean, it wasn't even about being super hardcore...because there was Jazzy and Will, Kid N Play etc... But I really think they were casualties of bad choices. Markie Dee (RIP) was actually able to reinvent himself and hope onto the New Jack Swing sound, which again, showed that the talent was still there. But the 'Fat Boys' thing wasn't gonna survive into the 90s...
@@dogsandyoga1743 You nailed it with that observation. We are old enough to remember when there style played out. 86/87 I did buy the Crushin' album because of a few songs but that was it for them as a crew! Kane, Krs, LL, Rakim took over and the Fat Boys like you said were casualties of the change of the guard so to speak!
@@rashaunchannel4323 Super facts. I remember my cousin had Crushin' and only really liked Crushin, Protect Ya Self and Boys Will Be Boys (which is still one of my favorite songs). I think I dubbed those 3, but I def wasn't spending my 6th grade money on the tape...
Shout out to Kool Rock Ski ! Hard to believe...he is the one that put Prince Markie D on.He started rapping first.Stay strong Kool Rock Ski...i know it hurt to lose your group members.
never saw the refrigerator record before. did that happen after the superbowl shuffle? chillin with the refrigerator is a hilarious name that shit just made my day. might be william perry's best rap record!
Salute Kool Rock Ski I've always said he got the flyest Rap Voice and Flow Very underrated individual Rip Markie Dee Buff as well God bless Thanks for being the Fat Boys for the young fat boy I always was in real life PS He's the original KRS Check it out
This is a Legendary Group The Fatboys I always reminince back in the Days seeing the Fatboys, in concert 3times The Fresh Fest1 2 and 3 Those was some Beautiful yrs back in the day when I was a teenager can go to a concert seeing about 15 groups for $20.00 So Sadly Kool Rock Ski the only one left from the fat boys. My Condolences to Prince Markie D. Morales family and friends, especially Kool Rock ski on his good friend passing so suddenly Rest In Heaven Prince Markie D.
Hell yeah, I can tell that every guy had a "Krush" on Sheila E in the movie Krush Groove Don't you dog me was actually like Guy's Why you wanna Dog Me Out and it was featured in the movie Krush Groove Still hard to believe that Damon is the last person from The Fat Boys since Darren (Buff)and Markie both passed away but these guys really being the overweight kings of rap in the 80s getting signed to Sutra then Tin Pan Apple/Polydor/Polygram with their album Crushin'
Oh word everyone was doing everything to stand out? Generalizing a whole genre like that? If this were true everyone would have classics. Yet that was not the case.
@@BrotherDerrick3X Naw, Russell from what I read didn't like the political rap style of Public Enemy. He felt that it was too controversial. But Rick Rubin loved it and PE was signed to Def Jam.
@@IceManLikeGervin I actually know Professor Griff and some of the S1Ws from the Nation. Though my oldest brother went to school with Russell's younger brother Joe aka Run of Run DMC, I actually never met Russell.
@@IceManLikeGervin Griff called Russell, "Hustle" Simmons. Russell Simmons has been a supporter of the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan, which is good enough for me. Professor Griff, like myself is an FOI (Fruit of Islam, the men of the Nation).
