I admit, I give Vlad a lot of shit about his brand at times , but I gotta give him props for giving the pioneers a platform to share their history and be seen in today's times . Salute .
All this oral history was about to vanish. Nobody was efficiently and professionally recording this history even in the mid 2000s. Heavy Metal and Hard Rock, yes. Hip Hop? No! I wish we could have had video interviews of Phife Dawg, Guru, Big Pun, etc before they passed.
@@dogsandyoga1743 i love The Foundation and everything Jacquan does with his platform to teach . Big supporter . As well as Soren Baker . Real hip hop preservationists .
I never heard Doug E. Fresh's line as a "diss" in all the years I have listened to the song. Both were great at their craft and I like how Kool Rock-Ski clarified what Doug E.more so intended-Although Buffy is beat boxing and the Human Entertainer Doug E. beatboxes, we both have something unique to our style that would distinguish us. Great interview from a legend!
That was my b-boy song... used to carry the flattened out cardboard box with me everywhere, challenging other b-boys... my cousin had the boombox with that tape... my specialty was The Worm... some people call it The Caterpillar
I remember seeing the Fat Boys on Soul Train singing jail house rap. They were in the old black and white stripe prison uniforms, with the steel ball on their ankles....
Had their records back in the day ...have only 2 now 😥... I still have "The Disorderly's" on dvd ...swapmeet find for only 5 bucks.... That movie is classic and needs more recognition ..... Fat Boy's were and are still legendary!!!
No! They wasn't a gimmick group because they were fat and they was real about it. They Fat Boys had Detroit on lock down. We all were beat boxing and rapping like the Fat Boys in the early 80s.
U must be a youngsta that has no clue on what your saying....lol......the truth is,,,the fatboys were not a gimmick group,,but were very very very popular and liked.....they also were the first ever to go platinum along with rundmc whodini and ll cool J.....also they headlined the first nationwide rap tour ever called the fresh festival....the fatboys are iconic legendary pioneer major factors,,,and u truly need to do your research before u come online spreading falsehoods.....ya dig....
I like to see all these guys talking shit. For the record on 55 years old from the Bronx. Let's start thinking about 1983 and 84, The Fat boys will always lyrical they rhymes was hard. But the fact is they were on the comical tip, playing up their weight. That was the gimmick of the group. But I'm a straight-up fan especially there lyrics there music bops your head. When I say gimmick I mean that was the hook of the group. Like digital underground had their own gimmick. Shit, NWA when they came out had their own gimmick, with the Jerry curls the whole La gang thing.
I always took as Doug E. Fresh was saying he is known for his style of beat boxin and Buff was known for his, I didn't think it was a diss cuz both were different styles!!!
The first rap albums I bought were Crushin’ by the Fat Boys and Bigger and Deffer by LL Cool J. The first rap record I bought was The Show/LaDiDaDi by Doug E Fresh. Had no idea that he was dissin them 🤯
When i heard Doug's line on THE SHOW, I just thought it was his way of distinguishing himself from Buff...never knew it was intended as some sort of "diss". And besides, how you gonna have "beef" with The Fat Boys??
I felt the same way, but there is the part where Slick Rick is saying "A yo quit it" in the back ground. That always made think Doug E was teasing Buff.
The Fat Boys were one of the best rapping groups of all time. I'm 64 years old and still listen to them and watch their movie. God bless you Kool Rock-Ski and may the memories of Big Buff and Markie D live forever. So good to see you. You look great my brother.
@@LATQueens I know what you mean. I’m from Chicago and the true blue Chicago accent seems to be dying out as the older generations phase out and transplants move in...
I wonder what he is going to say about Marks passing. RIP Mark. Love the Fat Boys! They gave my childhood a soundtrack! Salute!!! “Now my name is Kool Rock, last part is Ski And I am the captain rocker of the Disco Three You see I got pizzazz, style, and grace Just one slight problem; I'm a little overweight”
for all that dont know.. the songs Stick em and Fat Boys played in the streets for that whoooole summer! watever year that was.. i remember it well.. lol..
You would be hard-pressed to find a more abused teen group by their label. It is one of the most tragic stories in the industry that no one wants to tell.
Cool to see this interview.much love and respect to the fat boys I remember as a child my stepdad would listen to them. seeing this interview I'm about to revisit some of their music now
Man the Fat Boys represented what hip hop and an MC was to me coming up in the 80s. I gotta give VLAD props on having one of favorite MCs of all time on the show. Buff was the greatest. It was all about carrying your radio around with you and having your cardboard close by in case someone challenged you dancing. That Dru Down remake song is hard as hell.
How come artists don't let these founders do features on their tracks? I've never heard Kool Rock Ski on anyone else's joint and that's kind of fucked up iMO
Sounds good.., but what new or current artist is thinking " I should record with someone that came out 35-40 years before me? 🤔 Also the style of hip hop is different, and even some of the people we rocked with" Might " come off as dated"
@@billyjacc I'm not talking about new artists of today. Even artists in the 90s could have let an OG get on and spit a verse in a song. But it never happened. The closest I can think of is when Nas made 'Where Are They Now' but that wasn't until 2007
Big part of my childhood which is funny cause I was more into metal....then I heard my brother bumpin the fat boys in his room and that was the coolest shit ever!...I played that tape more than my brother did😆
To me the Fat Boys are legends in my mind in hip hop and he is the last member of the group and I am glad he was doing interviews talking about history with his group mates and music they made. And on a side note I have a you tube channel type in Russell Mills May 22, 2017 to find me.
A living Legend right here! Flowers to you Kool Rock-Ski & R.I.P to Buff Love & Prince Markie Dee...

Classic lol BAPS copied it
Facts!
Facts. First movie I ever went too!
Much Respect to Vlad for paying homage to the Legend Kool Rock Ski 💯🎤
FaT BoYs one of the Greatest hip hop groups every original Hip Hop.
They might of been the first group too star in a movie. Besides Krush Groove.
Run DMC, LL Cool J, and The Fat Boys was all I needed back in the day.
Whodini

Planet Rock still pumping
Beastie Boys too!
For reals. I tried hard to get into Kurtis Blow too but for whatever reason i wasnt feelin it. No disrespect cuz i know hes a legend.
I love how vlad interviews people u don't hear about as much. He shines light on some of the dopest artists ever. Salute!
Super facts the generational unknown these kids need this history
@@tropiclucas9130 Vice did a video on Buffy's son he had a baby by QueenPen & they had a son his video is on Vice check it out
Larry smith was a super producer back then. R I P Larry
The most underrated producer in Hip Hop History!
RIP Larry King
Facts he’s the one who made Dre who he is today when Dre sampled I’m a hoe for Cruisin down the street in my 64
Indeed...Larry was THAT DUDE.
Amen on that.
Kool Rock Ski got a good spirit this like a part of my childhood glad you around.
"can you feel it" is my favorite Fat Boys song. the video is the definition of old school parties and having a good time without worries💪
Mine too ❤❤❤
Cant nobody fuck with the “Human Beatbox” RIP
Buff was still beat box supreme during that time, because to the masses he was the first one that gave it to the world on that level.
I was chilling in 84 after school and saw the fat boys “fat boys” video and I was shocked. I didn’t know what to think. I was hooked.
Back thoThey were the disco 3
Its those beats!!
I just watched Disorderlies last month again. RIP Markie D and Buff!

If you haven't watched the movie Krush Groove, do it. A lot of the stories that he's telling are depicted in the movie. The movie is mostly factual.
My favorite behind beat street 💯
Yup
Got a hit song on the radio.... Then going back to english class on Monday 😳😳😳 it's no word to explain the kind of clout he had at the school💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾

The Movie Crush Groove was the first time I ever saw the Fat Boys. And I remember them standing out in the movie with there unique sound.
I remember growing up just watching vlads videos not even realizing that he’s documenting history. And it’s amazing
The production on the first album was🔥🔥🔥🔥
One of the few shows that gives Hip Hop OGs props.
I didn't realize these cats were THAT young when they dropped these classics.
Yea they were teenagers may have been the youngest of their era.
They may have been a gimmick group. But there rhymes was hard and they can flow.
