The Fat Boys

I don't think people realize how big they really were.

Wipeout was ridiculously huge the summer of '87.

Human Beat Box was in need of an inhaler.

Ah rap before the thugs and gangsters took is over.


It really was better than the vulgar cesspool of hip hop today.

The Fat Boys were one of my first concerts (w/ New Edition) at the Cajundome I think. RIP Buff Love

I mean lyrics don’t get any better than this

quote:

---

I'm starving I'm in the mood
plain and simple I NEED FOOD
Eat some beans and very soon everybody in the place
will leave the room
for some reason I can't reveal
pass a bananna so I can peel
slide to the kitchen
stuff my face
leaving not one crumb in the place
I can bust riff rafs back to back
And I'll devour any MC as if he were a snack
I'll eat and eat and drink and drink and I'll tell ya one thing
MY BREATH DON'T STINK
Because the beats so funky like a big fat monkey
and it tastes so good like an almond joy
cuz I'm big and bad, mean and bold and my name is MARKIE D and I'm a FAT BOY

Budget for that video? About Three fifty.

Same as Marky D’s weight.
