Fat Boys Pizza Box

الوصف

The Fat Boys were the highest profiled hip hop group in the early 1980 s next to Run DMC. They were part of the first corporate sponsored rap concert (Fresh Fest), they were featured in the movie Krush Groove, one of the first rap groups to travel to Europe, and they sold hefty amounts of records and continued to balloon throughout the decade. Their beginnings were humble like most but quickly catapulted into full stardom. Appearances on radio, TV, full tours, magazine spreads and they even had their own embroidered satin jackets! Their first single; "Reality" under the name Disco 3 was released unnoticed and that's when their fearless management of Charles Stettler and Lynda West decided to bring in one of the hottest names in rap at the time to produce; Kurtis Blow. The single "Fat Boys" with Kurtis became a instant hit and it also became the new name of the group. Kurt enlisted his music team to assemble what became the debut album by the Fat Boys. Larry Smith (Run DMC s producer and arranger), Davy DMX, Don Blackman, and a whole slew of other session players laid the raw backbeat for the three boys from Brooklyn to rock the house! What separated their album from the majority of other rap records at the time was the pure rawness of the songs. The humorous element dominated the record but there was a prime roughness to their style that gave them a hardcore edge. Songs like Stick Em, Fat Boys, The Place To Be & Human Beat Box easily display their boisterousness. The added jewels to this re-issue are the Mr. Magic (RIP) radio interviews. The growth of the group can be heard first hand between an early interview before their debut album and one after success. The unlisted 15th track is also a piece of lost audio history as it s Mr. Magic announcing the Disco 3 as the winners of the Tin Pan Apple After Dark Dance & Rap Contest at Radio City Music Hall (May 23rd, 1983); where the group got their record deal. This deluxe reissue serves up the classic rap album for the first time in 28 years, fully remastered with all the necessary ingredients...ALL YOU CAN EAT! Review: That i want this cd - The fat boys are one of my favorite rap Review: I Love the Fat Boys - Why why why did you guy break up? I thought it was a cruel joke that was just that cruel. I love the Fat Boys! I love them so much this should've been my first purchase. Instead I bought the All meat no Fillers and I wasn't terribly disappointed just slightly. Jail house rap on the All Meat no Fillers is not the long version. I dam there went ballistic when I didn't hear Prince Markie Dee's final verse. Also a couple of the tracks are edited short. This CD has all the "Trimmings" That's why I bought it. I could do without the interviews on the CD for more of their hits.
