Title
  • Fat Pat at Bam's Sales & Services auto shop
Language
Description
  • Description of this item from 2012 University of Houston Libraries exhibition, "DJ Screw and the Rise of Houston Hip Hop": Fat Pat was the first freestyler to explode off the gray tapes, developing a following for his commanding delivery and streetwise attitude. Raised in the Dead End (where MLK Blvd. dead ends into Almeda-Genoa Rd.), Fat Pat was a flashy dresser with a magnetic personality. Phrases that Pat dropped on tapes popularized local slang and were reused by a generation of Houston rappers.
