Here`s a short lil` documentary on the Brooklyn, New York Hip Hop group the Fat Boys that`s just under 40 minutes in length. I found it pretty interesting, especially since I didn`t know much about `em. They cover the group`s origins & original name the Disco 3. They talk about how Buff`s beatboxin` was what really got them the record deal for winning the Rap contest at Radio City Music Hall. They speak on "Fat Boys" the group`s first single & Kurtis Blow talks about some of the experiences he had working with them. The relationship that the Fat Boys had with Charles Stettler, their manager is also covered. They mention the movies that the Fat Boys were a part of like "Krush Groove" & "Disorderlies"...
They talk about how the Fat Boys rocked the Fresh Fest Tours of 1984 & 1985. Of course the monumental break up of the group in 1989 is a topic that gets dissected. Markie Dee also talks about how he formed a production company with Corey Rooney & together they wrote "Real Love" for Mary J. Blige, which ended up the first single off her album which blew up big time! Then towards the end of the documentary that talk for a bit about Buff passing away at 28 in 1995. Don`t let my quick lil` summary keep you from checkin` this out, it`s mos` definitely worth peepin` `cuz there`s lots of lil` tidbits of info` that I didn`t mention. It`s in mp4 file format, happy watchin`...
