In this clip, Kool Rock-Ski explained how The Fat Boys linked up with Kurtis Blow in the studio, where they recorded the song “Fat Boys.” Kool Rock-Ski explained that Kurtis realized that they didn’t know how to structure a song, and he broke everything down for them. He then spoke about “Stick ‘Em” being a B-Side track for “Fat Boys,” and Kool Rock-Ski detailed how the song was an “instant hit,” and their self-titled debut album went gold while they were still in high school. To hear more, including Kool Rock-Ski addressing rumors of a beef with Doug E. Fresh, hit the above clip.

Disco 3 are LEGENDS, PIONEERS OF HIP-HOP FIRST HIP-HOP GROUP TO GO "GOLD"
Poh poh huh huuh huh huh blrrrrttttttttt stick em……..????????
Brrddrrr Stick ‘ em birth the sound of Desiigner nd Gucii
My first ever concert was The Big & Beautiful Tour. The line up was Joe Ski Love, UTFO, Force MDs, The Jets, and Fat Boy closing it out. What I remember was the Fatboys coming out in a refrigerator lowered from the ceiling and the crowd going crazy. I remember the Force MDs and thinking they were New Edition at the time. They had that Itching for a Scratch song and UTFO did Roxanne Roxanne I wanna be your man. I dont remember what song the Jets had out at the time, just remember it was a big band on stage. The only reason I know Joe Ski Love was there was cause the first song performed was the Pee Wee Harmen and he had a blue and white track suit. The Larry Smith Davy DMX sound will never leave me. People talk about Rick Ruben a lot but those Run DMC, Fatboys, Whodini and Kurtis Blow records was my first hit of Hip Hop. I was a baby during the Sugarhill run. The Breaks is the first Hip Hop song I ever heard.
extra heavy extra fat forever yea!!!!!!!!
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!
I was at the New Music seminar in 1988 at the Marriott Marquis hotel. James Brown was there to hype his record with Afrika Bambaataa, "UNITY" on Tommy Boy records. At one of the press conferences in the hotel Prince Markie Dee and Buffy were in attendance. Prince Markie Dee stands up first and tells James Brown how much of an influence he has been on him and his music. Then Buffy stands up and tries to explain to James Brown how much of an influence he is but he stumbles over his words and finally just resorts to his beatboxing heavy breathing flow and then he ended it with, "..BRRRRRRRR Stick ’em!…". He did that shit to James Brown! JB laughed and accepted the respect…called them fine young men.
I actually have that on cassette tape!
First time I heard The Fat Boys was back in 1984. Heading down 95 south in Va, headed to Kings Dominion in a two toned blue Ford Escort station wagon. ????
My cousins kept talking about this song called Fat Boys, by a group called The Fat Boys. Low and behold on the radio station, “FAT’ATTT BOYSSS .. FAT’ATTT BOYS, now we may be a little chubby …” man I was like whoa!! Turn it up. Lol
RIP to Buff & Markie Dee.
I remember I got that first fat boys album…thanks Vlad for this 1…..Kool is Rap royalty!!!!!!!
I watched Krush Groove last week re-living the early days of my freshman year in high school. That was back when Rap was best to enjoy.
Damn I listened to that stick em and that shit is ????
I can’t front on DouG’s work.
He really had something different.
Biz Mark was actually using
Dougie’s sounds,
But nobody can do that Buffy
Bass Thump.
He also was father of
the clap echo ,
that you do in front of the mouth.
Dope story about the song being released while they were in High School!! Celebrities on campus
So Doug E. Fresh was ready to throw them hands cause he thought somebody called him Doug E. Stale? ????????
That is crazy!!! I cannot imagine being that young in public high school with a hit record back then. I am really enjoying this interview.
Kurtis blow was tight producer too.
EAST NEW YORK
Yo MTV raps
Brings tears ???? to my eyes, because this is when I became hooked on Hip Hop!!!
The first all rap tour was the Sugarhill Tour with The Sugarhill Gang, Grandmaster Flash & The Furious 5, Funky 4 Plus 1, Sequence, and Spoonie Gee.
I’m sure in those days " 1981" they didn’t have the budget or sponsors of the Fresh Fest that came later.., which was able to get them more exposure on the radio, stage props, and a concert audience for larger arenas…. But… They were the first.
I’m from the BX and we moved to PR when the Fat Boys came out with their album. All the breakers played them like crazy. We loved them!
Dont You Dog Me was one of my favorites..i like the Refrigerator song too(rapping about WIlliam "Fridge" Perry)
His accent reminds me of RZA.
Stick em was classic we went crazy in elementary school!
Biz Markie, Buff and Doug E Fresh in a beatbox contest? That would’ve been fresh!!!
Man I didn’t know Markie D died ?!?!
What you Brothers did was Greatness.. Much respect to the FATBOYS .
Made In America❤????????????
Dam….Vlad this is a classic!!
Stick em""" that is a great story that shit went gold
Wow they was that young
That’s crazy thats a great story
Dougie Stale????????????????✊????????????
The Fat Boys set the trend for the big men in rap. Notorious BIG, Fat Joe, Big Punisher, Rick Ross, and a few others.
Still listen to CAN YOU FEEL IT ???????????????????????????????????? Classic
Buff was the beatbox King of all time
Kurtis was here with me.
( co-op city )
Kurtis Blow not Curt.
Crazy how hiphop has changed over the yrs
Vlad’s interviews with rap legends (not these new, unheard of niggas) are great.
I’m checking in from Strong Island NY the home of Rakim Public Enemy Dela Soul EPMD Biz Markie Freddie Foxx Keith Murray Craig Mack K Solo Grand Daddy IU RA the Rugged Man Leaders of the New School Method Man Prodigy from Moob Deep JVC Force Soul for Real Ashanti Rick Rubin Doctor Dre from Yo MTV Raps Prince Paul from Steasonic Original Concept MF DOOM and countless others. I remember going to the Fresh Fest at Nassau Colesiuem I Uniondale Long Island NY. Run DMC Fat Boys Whodini Grandmaster Master Flash and the Furious 5 and LL Cool J. What a freaking night. You had ???? packs from Long Island Hollis Queens and Brooklyn all running around fighting and snatching gold chains and Gold Bamboo earrings. Every performer didn’t dissapiont . My greatest memory is when it was LL Cool J s time to perform his hype man Black E Love stood on stage for about 10 minutes holding a big ass Boom Box while Cut Creator was scratching the whole time Earl aka E Love is mean mugging the crowd holding the big ass Boom Box while looking like a maniqun in a B Boy Stand . A Hip Hop moment I will never forget.
Stick em probably first hard core hip hop song.
Buffy COULD NOT BEATBOX ANYWHERE NEAR DOUG E. FRESH!! So, Doug E. Stale?? YEAH RIGHT!!
On the low Rock ski has 1 of the great rap voices in the game when you look back.
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
The Fatboys was one of my favorite groups back in the days….I even went to movies to see Disorderlys
