![]() Their intentionally pop records helped moved units but they also led to the Fat Boys losing their true hip-hop fans, and soon the fickle pop fan base grew tired of the trio’s antics and their 15 minutes of fame was over. While the earlier records were funny and lighthearted, they still held some credibility but as time went on, their music became progressively more buffoonish (including a garbage remake of The Safaris’ hit “Wipe Out” featuring the Beach Boys and a remake of Chubby Checker’s “The Twist”, which Checker himself would make a cameo in). From ’84 to ’91, Prince Markie Dee, Kool Rock-Ski and Buffy The Human Beat Box (rip) had quite a commercially successful run, releasing seven albums with three of them going gold and a 4th earning them a platinum plaque. From the jump, the Fat Boys took a comic approach to their music, often poking fun at their weight in their songs. Mark Morales better know to the world as Prince Markie Dee, begin his rap career as a third of the Brooklyn based trio the Fat Boys (originally known as the Disco 3) in the mid eighties.
