Fatman Scoop - It Takes Scoop

Review by JJ King

Fatman Scoop’s It Takes Scoop – A Chaotic Anthem That Still Slaps in 2024 Yo, let’s get one thing straight—Fatman Scoop didn’t come to play with It Takes Scoop. This 2004 banger outta Germany (yeah, you read that right) is raw energy bottled up and thrown at your face. Released under Def Jam UK, the album’s all about cut-up/DJ vibes mixed with hip-hop grit and rap swagger. And guess what? It works. Hard. Now, I’m not gonna sit here and pretend this whole project is some masterpiece—it’s not. But damn if it doesn’t slap when it needs to. The title track, “It Takes Scoop,” hits like a truck full of basslines. Fatman’s voice cuts through the beat like he’s screaming at you from another dimension. You can’t ignore it; you won’t forget it. It’s loud, messy, and unapologetically in-your-face. That hook? Bro, it sticks to your brain like gum on a hot sidewalk. Then there’s the “Club Edition.” If the original is a bomb going off, this version is basically nuclear warfare for nightclubs. Extended drops, harder kicks—it’s made for bodies losing their minds on the dancefloor. Picture sweat dripping, drinks spilling, and everyone shouting every word back at the DJ booth. Yeah, THAT kind of vibe. When I hear this remix, I remember exactly where I was the first time it dropped—a grimy little club where the speakers were shaking so hard they almost fell off the wall. Wild times. But hold up—the “Radio Edit” feels kinda pointless compared to these monsters. They chopped the life outta it trying to make it "safe." Who asked for that? Not me. Keep it wild or don’t bother. Here’s the kicker though: Fatman Scoop wasn’t trying to reinvent anything here. He just wanted to throw a party and drag us along for the ride. And honestly? Mission accomplished. Even now, 20 years later, this album still bangs harder than half the stuff dropping today. Maybe that says more about modern music than we care to admit. So yeah, It Takes Scoop might not be perfect, but it’s relentless. Like an overzealous pitbull chewing on your sneakers. Love it or hate it, you won’t forget it. And honestly, isn’t that what good music’s supposed to do? Side note: How does someone named Fatman Scoop sound this hungry? Dude’s got the hunger of ten rappers combined. Respect.
