Fatman Scoop born Isaac Freeman III is a New York City hip hop hype man and radio personality. He is best known for the track "Be Faithful" with the Crooklyn Clan which went to number one in the UK and Ireland in late 2003 and top 5 in Australia. The song has been a favourite in clubs around the world for years but it took two years to clear the samples from Jay-Z, Black Sheep, Queen Pen, The Beatnuts and Faith Evans. The track takes its name from the sample of Evans singing. The follow up "It Takes Scoop" reached the top 10 in the UK, the top 20 in Ireland and the top 40 in Australia in 2004. In 2005, Fatman Scoop was featured on two hit songs, Mariah Carey's "It's Like That" and Missy Elliott's "Lose Control". Scoop also hosts his own show on popular New York City radio station WQHT (FM)Hot 97.
Best known for his loud, gruff voice, Fatman Scoop made a name for himself as a DJ on the New York City radio station Hot 97 and by rapping on hit songs like Mariah Carey's "It's Like That" and Missy Elliott's "Lose Control." But his greatest accomplishment so far came in 2002, when he met his wife Shanda.
Before Shanda, Fatman Scoop was in a dead-end marriage and couldn't decide what direction he should go in next. All he ever did was work, work, work -- but he knew there had to be something else out there for him.
One fateful night, Fatman Scoop met Shanda in a club while he was manning the DJ booth. Despite living by the rule "never get serious with a chick you meet in a club," he was instantly drawn to Shanda. Maybe it was the unusual hat she was wearing ... or the fact that she thought she was in a jazz club when hip-hop was blasting from the speakers ... but Fatman Scoop just had to talk to her. When she showed him her negative HIV test, he was hooked. And not just because he wanted to sleep with her...
Shanda was smart and passionate -- everything Fatman Scoop wanted in a woman. Soon, he shredded his little black book and asked her to be his wife. One night while they were in bed, he realized their conversations were hilarious. And that's how Man and Wife was born!
As a man that has experienced a lot in life -- especially when it comes to women -- Fatman Scoop gives great advice. He says what he feels and tells the truth ... even when the truth hurts.
