The boys were in line for the scale in the locker room. Bruce did not need, however, to remind himself that he was only wearing a tight pair of smiley-face boxer shorts in a room filled with friends, peers, and strangers and Steven!

Cool J, and Whodini, the Fat Boys were the finest that hip-hop's "Second Generation" (as it was called) had to offer. After making some noise as the Disco Three, the rotund Brooklynites changed their name to the Fat Boys in 1984 and hit big with this excellent debut album, which is humorous, wildly entertaining, and unapologetically funky. Everything from "Fat Boys" to the amusing "Jailhouse Rap" proves that their rapping skills were first-rate
