Fat Boys are back!

Here's some potential cover art
And you just know they could never be whack!
I did intend to start off my posts today with other subjects, but upon loading my Twitter for the morning I just couldn’t help but stop scrolling at this particular tidbit:
TheFatBoys: Harmonix is my friend and now you know that … We may have to get in the studio and make Harmonix a Rock Band Fat Boys track in honor of our 25th Anniversary … Um…I’m thinking “The Fat Boys: Rock Band / Beatboxing” hmmmmm oh yeah, my stomach is growling now!
-Kool Rock-Ski … I assume
That’s right, beatbox rappers and overeating enthusiasts The Fat Boys are apparently considering recording some tracks for release on Harmonix’s Rock Band. There’s no telling if this could be a regular release or something facilitated by the upcoming Rock Band Network, but there’s one thing you can be sure of: if you’re not eating while you’re singing, you’re doing it wrong!
Personally, I think Activision would give an opportunity like this a full retail stand-alone release, so it’s a “real shame” that Harmonix will probably just make it available for everyone as DLC. Bet your ass I’ll post if we hear any more about this. Just not enough old school hip-hop played on plastic guitars at the moment!
Oh, and in case your interested, here’s Prince Markie Dee calling out the Iron Sheik via YouTube. He’s presumably challenging him to some variety of wrestling match. Hopefully Sergent Slaughter is backing his play on this one?
