Jail House Rap" Track Info.

The Fat Boys’ mentor-and the owner of the brand name-is a Swiss-born promoter named Charlie Stettler. In 1982, Afrika Bambaataa, a DJ of esteemed heft and taste, turned on Midday with Bill Boggs and saw a man in a gorilla suit promoting a cassette that contained recordings of garbage trucks. The gorilla, Stettler, had sold over 200,000 tapes of noise for homesick city dwellers, released through his label-management company Tin Pan Apple. According to Wimbley, the original lyrics to Jailhouse Rap, the first track on the debut album, were toned down; stories of shooting cops in the back turned into stories about getting arrested for doing something stupid related to food. While Run-DMC strutted in fedoras and Adidas, the Fat Boys were having food fights in bathing suits and inner tubes.
