What made Fatman Scoop‘s collaboration with Missy Elliott stand out in the music industry?
Missy Elliott Pays Heartfelt Tribute to Late Collaborator Fatman Scoop: His Legacy Will Never Fade Away
The world of music lost a giant on November 24th, 2021, when rapper and radio personality Isaac Freeman III, known to the world as Fatman Scoop, passed away at the age of 46. Artists from across the industry paid tribute to him on social media, but it was a heartfelt message from his longtime collaborator Missy Elliott that truly captured his legacy.
“RIP to my brother Fatman Scoop aka the Voice himself,” Elliott wrote on Twitter. “He would always call me his Twin & I always said he was my other DJ & we knew each other over 20 yrs. We changed the game with ‘Lose Control’ & he was a friend to every artist if they met him or not.”
The loss of Fatman Scoop is felt deeply throughout the music industry, but it is artists like Missy Elliott who can most eloquently articulate what made him such a special collaborator and friend. Here’s a closer look at the life and legacy of Fatman Scoop, and why his impact will never be forgotten.
A Creative Force
Fatman Scoop’s moniker was self-explanatory: he had a booming, incomparable voice that drew comparisons to wrestling announcers and drum corps leaders alike. But there was much more to him than just his voice.
Born in Harlem in 1971, Fatman Scoop began his career as a beatboxer before breaking into radio in the early 1990s. As a host on New York’s Hot 97 and Power 105.1, he quickly became known as the “Voice of New York” for his signature shoutouts and exclusive interviews with hip-hop’s biggest stars. But it was his work as a musician that truly established his legacy.
In 1999, Fatman Scoop teamed up with rapper and producer Timbaland for “Drop,” a single featuring his signature chants and an unforgettable beat. He followed it up with “Be Faithful,” which sampled both Black Sheep’s “The Choice Is Yours” and Timbaland’s own “Put ‘Em on the Glass.” The song became an instant classic and remains a staple of dance floors around the world.
A Collaborator and Friend
While Fatman Scoop’s most famous work may have been as a featured artist on other tracks, he left an indelible mark on the music of his longtime friend and collaborator Missy Elliott. The two first teamed up on her 2001 album “Miss E… So Addictive,” collaborating on the track “Get Ur Freak On.”
But it was their work on 2005’s “The Cookbook” that truly showcased their chemistry. The single “Lose Control,” which also featured Ciara, became a massive hit and won a Grammy for Best Short Form Music Video. It’s easy to see why: the track melds Missy Elliott’s futuristic beats and visuals with Fatman Scoop’s irresistible energy and chants.
As the years went on, Fatman Scoop continued to be a beloved presence in the music industry. He collaborated with Busta Rhymes, AC Slater, and many other artists, and his voice became a fixture on dance floors around the world. But it was his unwavering energy and spirit that truly set him apart.
A Legacy That Will Never Fade
It’s difficult to capture the full scope of Fatman Scoop’s impact on the music world. He was a producer, a rapper, a radio host, and an entertainer in every sense of the word. But in Missy Elliott’s message, we can see how he touched those around him in ways that can’t be quantified.
As we mourn the loss of Fatman Scoop, it’s crucial that we also celebrate his legacy. This was a man who brought joy, energy, and creativity to every project he was a part of, and whose spirit will live on through the countless artists and fans he touched.
In a world where so many talented people go unrecognized, Fatman Scoop was a force to be reckoned with. His legacy will never fade away, and his spirit will continue to inspire generations to come.All rights reserved.
