| - | '''Isaac Freeman III''', better known by his stage name '''Fatman Scoop''' is a [[hip hop music|hip hop]] promoter and radio personality famed for his on-stage rough, raw, loud voice. | + | "'''Be Faithful'''" (1999) is a song by rap producers [[The Crooklyn Clan]] and performed by [[Fatman Scoop]]. |
| - | He is known for the [[Song|track]] "[[Be Faithful]]" which went to number one in the [[United Kingdom|UK]] and [[Republic of Ireland|Ireland]] in late 2003 and top 5 in [[Australia]]. The song has been a favorite in [[nightclub|clubs]] around the world for years but it took two years to clear the [[sampling (music)|samples]] from [[Jay-Z]], [[Black Sheep (hip-hop group)|Black Sheep]], [[Queen Pen]], [[The Beatnuts]] and [[Chris Evans]]. | + | The main sample used throughout the song comes from the song [[Chic Cheer]], performed by R&B band Chic. The song also samples "[[Party Ain't a Party]]" by [[Queen Pen]], "[[Love Like This]]" by [[Faith Evans]], "[[Off the Books]]" by [[The Beatnuts]], "[[Can I Get A...]]" by [[Jay-Z]], and "[[The Choice Is Yours (Revisited)]]" by [[Black Sheep (hip hop group)|Black Sheep]]. |

| - | Fatman Scoop also has his own sex and relationship show/podcast. All episodes can also be seen on the Man and Wife channel on internet TV network, ONLOQ.com, as well as [[MTV]]. He also appears as himself on the TV series ''[[The Boondocks (TV series)|The Boondocks]]'' (season 2, episode 5, "The Story of Thugnificent" and episode 15, "The Story of Gangstalicious Part 2", from the same season). | + | |
| - | + | ||
| - | Fatman Scoop received his stage name after appearing in the Fugees 'Killing Me Softly' video as a cinema worker serving popcorn and ice-cream. [[Lauryn Hill]] was a massive ice-cream fan herself so would shout 'scoop, scoop, fatman scoop' when she wanted a tub of her favourite snack. [[Lauryn Hill]] and [[Pras]] also made a spoof version of their most popular song, exchanging the lyrics 'killing me softly with his song' for 'filling my belly with popcorn'. Fatman Scoop was laughing for weeks. | + | |
