Heart failureDid they find out what he passed from?
I always thought it was funny that he wasnt really fat back when he was in the fat boys
And it hammers home how long hip-hop has been here... the groups that were instrumental in breaking hip-hop in on the mainstream level all include members who have passed. Jay from Run-DMC, Markie and Buff from the Fat Boys, MCA from the Beasties, Ecstacy from Whodini, Cowboy from Furious 5, Hank from Sugarhill Gang.
he gained weight and kool rock-ski dropped the weightyea,
that chit always tripped me out.
he didnt really get fat til like the 4th album or something.
he just had bad-body.![]()
Late to the thread, but RIP. The Fat Boys and Nucleus are my two earliest hip-hop memories. I'll always remember going to a party as a young kid over my cousin's in Philly and "The Fat Boys Are Back" jamming non-stop on the speakers. That whole day is one of my favorite child hood memories. Making pitchers of quarter-waters, us damn near killing my brother pulling him off the side railing onto the concrete, and reciting lyrics to "Jam On It", which were the first rhymes I ever memorized.
Man I miss those times.
And of course, watching Disorderlies a zillion times on HBO as a kid.
