Freeload: Fat Bastard, “It’s Going Down”
- story THE FADER
As far as regional dances go, for us the “Dallas Boogie” ranks right up there with Harlem Shake and the Bankhead Bounce. Attention people looking to impress friends: learn that shit. D-town’s own Fat Bastard continues his onslaught of boogie fever with his newest trunk rattler, “It’s Going Down.” Sure, people have made the claim before, but a man who has the “whole club crunk like I made it rain Skittles” is a man we need to be partying with.

For FADER Number 56’s Dallas rap story, we got to hang out with D-town kingpin and D.S.R. representative Fat Bastard, who revealed somewhat surprisingly, that his favorite rapper was The Notorious B.I.G. New York hasn’t seen a rap heavyweight in forever, while Texas has been rife with Big and Fat superstars for about as long as we can remember. In the same conversation, he also went on to explain the Texas infatuation with all things super-sized, saying simply “Food, cars, niggas…we just like everything big.” Understandably, Fat B is currently “the man out in Dallas.”

We are mega into the concept of Swag School because, like, some people need it really bad, and we generally like to surround ourselves with swaggy folks because, you know, duh. We also like the concept of “Swag Camp” for those with special needs, like people who need to figure out how to up their swag but also need to learn how to swim and ride horses. Equestrianism = that ninety-ninth percentile swag. Even though we are actually gunning for populist ish. For now, let Big Tuck and Fat Bastard, ambassadors of D-Town, be your substitute teachers in the mysterious and ancient arts of freshness. Learn to smell like money! Learn to stay clean! Learn to be a diva or don! Afterwards, you should totally come to our party!

You can take the FADER out of Texas, but you can’t take the Texas rapper-love out of the FADER. What? Even though we are sad this remix of wee Dallas prodigy Baby C’s “Do It Like That” omits the original’s pre-pubescent falsetto versage of 11-year-old rapper J-Walkin, the remix version pops on a little regular-dude swaggy from Tum Tum associate/Dirty South Ryda Fat Bastard: “Lean wid it. Rock wid it. You might win a free trip to IHOP wid it.” Yummmm, pancakes. Our second favorite type of stacks.
