Good to see an interview without much drama in a group

[@TheCoachRC]

Yes indeed. Those fellas had a very tight friendship.

[@SparkleInYourEyes2024]

​@@TheCoachRCBecause they're men. Men get along with each other better than women.

[@henrympittman6452]

The 1st rap group to go GOLD. Hip Hop History, this needs to be known.

[@henrycruz4966]

Thought it was run dmc

[@johnqkarin2]

@@henrycruz4966 You're right. It was RUN DMC. Fat boys were soon to follow, though. Then RUN DMC really blew up and the Beastie Boys changed the scene quite a bit. Not long after we started losing the classic party sound of mainstream hip hop to the Gangster vibe. I, for one, missed the classic street/party vibe.

[@lamentate07]

@@johnqkarin2 Fat Boys were basically a funnier more gimmicky version of Run anyway. Good band though.

[@liquid2smooth]

@@lamentate07I just watched Krishna Groove today and I was thinking the same thing about the beastie boys. Just a white version with a punk/rock edge.

[@RichV20]

Wasn't Kurtis Blow "The Breaks" the first to go Gold in 1980?

[@jus-icebay-way]

I'm 51 & still playin the very first album' just as dope everytime✌🎶🎵

[@treygonzales7166]

This vid got a like before I was even 5 seconds in. Kool Rock is one of the most humble OG's around. I remember catching them on their Wipe Out Tour back in the day & that joint was OFF THE CHAIN!!! 🔥🔥🔥 The balcony structure was literally bouncing throughout the set, because folks were just amped & jammin' to the Disco 3/Fat Boys. RIP Buff & Mark. 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽 Who else was on the lineup...Salt 'N Pepa, Dana Dane & Heavy D. 💣💣💣

[@demetriusrousseau7919]

The Pre-Scareface and Biggie.

[@michaelhunter459]

Don't forget The Fat Boys also went on tour with DJ Jazzy Jeff and the Fresh Prince, Run-DMC, Whodini,

[@09shelby15]

I still love the movie they made. These guys are straight up legends

[@EscoOnDemand]

Now after sitting through an incredible, enlightening, nostalgic hour, one minute and thirty-five seconds, I'm gonna go listen to "Crushin'" over and over and over and over again. Love you Kool Rock, Prince Markie Dee and Buff!

[@queenlikeme103]

I was so proud of him for losing all of that weight! Bump the manager. Watching him get healthy was an inspiration of not just for losing weight but that you could conquer anything!!

[@bruiserbrodie9018]

Cant lie... 1 of my 1st fav rap groups as a kid lol. Disorderlies was my shit too. Them and Whodinie.

[@demetriusrousseau7919]

Melle Mel, Fat Boys , Run DMC and LL Cool J is the reason why I resonated to rap music after after my favorite singer "Michael Jackson". That's when I chose listening to rap over r&b (singing in general).

[@MaxxWatt]

One of the flyest names ever...

[@MarlonBurden-sp8pj]

🔥💯

[@mcmarcuschapman]

Also, please start using the R&B charts for more accurate information about how the albums and singles did in Billboard. For example, the Fat Boys debut album reached number 48 on the pop album chart like you said, but it got up to number 6 on the black R&B chart; which better reflected how the record did with its target audience. Joel Whitburn’s research books have all the Billboard chart info you’ll need; especially the Top R&B Albums 1965-1998 book

[@TheCompton2010]

I used to be obsessed with them.. Whenever one of their songs comes on XM radio, my wife looks at me like i have 3 heads because i still know every word and beat word for word.

[@nycboy121]

I met them all when they performed at the world famous Roxy back in the day. And I used to see Prince Markie Dee in Rosedale Queens. These guys were part of my soundtrack growing up in NYC and being a part of the Hip Hop culture in its humble beginnings. Looking forward to seeing the documentary once it's out.

[@b2466-d8x]

Interesting that Doug and Buff both started beatboxing independently

[@deehen4162]

I was a big fan of their music as a kid. A Legendary Rap group that help propel Rap. Beat box and Break Dancing was the thing then. I was surprised to learn how young they were and just found out about the passing of Prince Markie Dee from this interview R.I.P.

[@NemesisEnforcer4937]

Love the Fat Boys. I still bang their music 'til this day. Can you feel it is timeless

[@MrFinch-ni5mk]

Glad to see Kool is still around. Just learned Prince Markie passed. Was a Freshman in high school when Buff passed. RIP to those two. Peace longevity and good health to Kool.

[@Edward_Strong1982]

Born in 82 and I loved the fat boys growing up. Being so young they are the only hip hop group I can remember. I don’t know what the appeal was for a small child but I loved these dudes ! I’m glad the interviewer explained how buffs weight did contribute to his death. In our community we hate to talk about hoe healthily being overweight is. Being 5’4” 633 lbs was already putting too much strain on his body, particularly his heart. His body couldn’t handle the flu and he was dealing with other health issues also like the fluid build up. I wish he could’ve lived longer man

[@jeffreyosborn]

So important that KRS know how much joy he and PMD and Buff brought to the world. Sorry to hear of the management and label issues but the video of them performing live with Chubby doing The Twist is iconic...

[@k.gspianoworldjourneyschan437]

Much ❤️ love, us here in Ann arbor Michigan did NOT party without a fat boys album on or a dance party, we miss you guys, but know this, in the 80's and early 90's we loved you guys, and to this day, my surviving crew play you guys!!

I met this guy in person in 1985 or 1986. actually all of them in San Diego after the Get Fresh Crew Concert at some hotel where run dmc jam master j ozone turbo Doug e fresh. all them were there but the human beat box was in the door way turning the light on & off beat boxing to the music. The light skin one in the fat boys was rude. But this guy & the box was SUPER COOL to me. The box gave me a pencil & the hotel pad so I could get autographs from them & erbody else. That turbo was rude too. But rip HUMAN BEAT BOX!! I’m glad to see you BRO!! You still look the same.

Im glad I found this small interviews about the Fat Boys. I used to love hearing their songs even as we started going to church I would still hear them cause their music was very nice and no bad languages, but I started to hear less of those 80s awesome music which I regret a little.

[@jonathanlippe]

My cousin got me into rap music in 1985 and my the first cassette I ever recorded was the first Fat Boys album and we put our tape decks together in our grandmother's kitchen and recorded it while we were eating cereal and you can hear the clinging of our spoons on the bowls and us talking in the background and we would listen to that tape while playing Atari and building forts and tents for our Gi Joe and Star Wars and He Man toys to have a royal rumble tag team elimination competition. Jail House rap piano at the end is an under appreciated performance in rap history that no one really acknowledged.

[@quinndeskimo4132]

My favorite song by the Fat Boys is: Can You Feel It. My favorite album is: Big and Beautiful. I remember playing that cassette tape so much in the summer of ‘86 that it broke, and I had to tape it back together. It’s one of the very few albums that I liked all of the songs on the album. 😀
