Fatman Scoop - Be Faithful
I absolutely loved this song when it first came out, and I'd struggle to tell you why. It was probably just the novelty of shouting "all the chicken-heads, be quiet" that did it. Confused by the strikethrough? Turns out the single was initially released in 1999, with a re-release 4 years later in 2003. It's a pretty damn popular track, this one; more so than the song it (heavily) samples from - which is Faith Evans' Love Like This, in case you were wondering. I was, which is why I Googled that shizz. I also absolutely loved the video when it first came out. I must have been a particularly easily amused 8 year old, eh? I remember going bowling for somebody's birthday party and being worryingly excited by the prospect of paying 50p to get this song played on the jukebox and screens. When it finally happened, time stood still. Our necks craned upwards. Our feet began to tap. We mimed along, doing the best (though incidentally it was probably the worst) impression of a generic black rapper that we possibly could. Good times. What an extraordinary anecdote... Definitely one for the grandchildren. Interested to know what Fatman Scoop's been up to recently by the way? Take a gander...
