I wanted to leave this electrifying clip of the #FatBoys on @SoulTrain to show you how mind blowing this trio was when they came out in 1984. I think even Jay told me his first album he ever copped was their debut album. I mean yeah now we all take for granted that traditional music really isn’t needed to cold rock a party. But to see THESE cats rock it back then???! OMG! they were the first stadium hip hop headliners (#FreshFest)——sheeeeit Madonna wanted THEM opening for her & somehow RS (not their manager btw but hustled his act instead) was like “uh...they not available but I got these white dudes that might do the trick (for this tour they didn’t, but the Beasties owe The Fat Boys for getting that look back in 85)—-they were figuratively (no weight jokes) the biggest act in hip hop at some point in time. Like the first act that showed this culture might have some real international legs to it.

Like they were so dope we just took them for granted. They did dope routines & dancesteps, albums went gold & platinum. Did movies & tv & commercials. They explored territories for the first time that today just seems like *yawn* a Tuesday.

& his songwriting credits off the chain (“Real Love” was his monster for Mary, but also wrote/produced joints for Christopher Williams/Father MC/Mariah Carey (“Anytime You Need A Friend”)/Shabba/Lisa Stansfield//Coolio/Craig Mack/Destiny’s Child/Macy Gray/Method Man & Redman/Frank Ocean/Ariana Grande/Drake—-it goes on and on he been sampled/collaborated with etc....

I mean—-man...I dunno what I mean anymore. This hurts to see the mass exodus of people that helped shape my/our lives like this. Rest In Peace to Mark Morales, the Puerto Rican Prince, the Fat Boy....#PrinceMarkieDee
