Band of the Month: The Chubby Chasers
ЯR January’s Official Band: The Chubby Chasers ЯR
Hip-hop has always embraced a culture of fatness. A big, bassy rhythm is a “fat beat”. A cool stereo or article of clothing might be called “phat”. And those ridiculously fat gold ropes Erik B and Rakim wore back in the day? They were phat, too. Look at the legendary hip-hop artists, from the Fat Boys to Biz Markie to Notorious B-I-G, whose body types were just another part of their artistic personae. It should come as no surprise, then, that a rap act would come along to celebrate the females with a little more to love! (Nearly 2/3 of Americans, including yours truly, are overweight– a clear majority. It’s about time the popular culture–if sometimes begrudgingly– accepts this.) Enter the RationReality Band of the Month: The Chubby Chasers.
The members of The Chubby Chasers came together around 2006 in Torrance, CA–a locality not too far from the Los Angeles suburbs that brought the world such West Coast rap revolutionaries as N. W. A., Ice-T and The D. O. C.. Drunk C, Kid Creation and D-Form were drawn together by a shared love of classic hip-hop and curvaceous women. “We have a motto: Fat beats. Fat rhymes. Plus-sized women”, says Kid Creation. “If the song has those three things, then we put it out.” The ‘Chasers augment their odes to curvy chicks with the stripped-down, no-frills sound of the old school. “We sound like the roots of hip hop, that original fresh untainted sound” comments Creation. “Remember when rap was fun? Thats where our music comes from.” What child of the 80s doesn’t remember the thrill of hearing Run-DMC, Kurtis Blow or even the Beastie Boys for the first time? The Chubby Chasers stay true to the Roland 808-driven beats and upbeat vocals that were the genesis of rap. When you merge these beats with the lyricists’ BBW fandom, you get instant classics like “BBW BBQ”, “Marshmallow” and “Met Her on Craigs List”.
If the Chubby Chasers’ songs celebrate the virtues of big, sexy women, then a CC concert is like a party in their honor. “We have high energy shows that are old school fun”, notes Kid Creation. We like to ask the crowd to participate–a lot of ‘wave your hands in the air…’ kinda stuff. We’re entertainers in every sense of the word.” And what about the guests of honor? Says KC, “There (are) a lot of plus-sized women in the audience, so thats always cool.” Cool, indeed.
**Met Her on Craigs List; Live at 1Down Lounge**
“She’s Down With the Double-Team.”
To celebrate the release of the ‘Chasers debut release, Mass Appeal
Mass Appeal, has gotten positive reaction for its embrace of Plus-Sized politics. “Some people say its the Sgt. Pepper The Wall 3 Feet High and Rising of BBW albums and (the Chubby Chasers) agree, of course,” Kid Creation notes modestly. Still, you don’t have to get wrapped up in the social justice dimension of the Chubby Chasers. Kid Creation relays to ЯR readers: “You don’t have to be into big women to love the Chubby Chasers, just be somebody who likes to smile and sing along to good music.”

Alright, a band straight from my hometown. Fat bitches need love too, and also extra girth for their flabby vaginas!
Oh and also, as an addendum: http://abcnews.go.com/Health/Diet/story?id=4098532&page=1
Fat girls are fat because they are fat.
omg that link, kevin!
fat girls should not wear mini-backpacks
(or was that a regular backpack?)
I’m a big fan of how the asshole of fat chicks suck in their pants. Fat chick’s assholes are like wormholes for fabric.
I admire that they can eat so much and have so much disgusting fat sex too. I can’t think about sex after eating.
You sure do alot of protesting, Kev. Perhaps a bit too much…
I just think fat people should be rounded up and put in camps to provide us with lampshades and soap, is all.
Damn, Soylent Ape. it was your birthday but you give us a present. You are truly a gentleman. Though I totally disagree with the one that they picked. But that’s just me.
I used to read a webcomic by the guy who illustrated that Mass Appeal album cover. I can’t remember what it was called…something about the people who did those things with other people. Yeah, that’s it.
@ SEO: Glad you liked it. I loves ‘em plump and fun, myself…and these guys are my heroes! I thought the vast majority of the contestants were totally hot–I can’t wait for Miss Chubby Chasers ‘08!
Quite. Quite. Us fat bitches need plenty of love.
Kevin, did a fat chick break your heart at one time ? Or something else ?
@ Cody: Yeah, I don’t know the name of the comic or the artist, but he’s fairly popular and does a lot of work like this.
@ Kevin: I’m a fat Jew, so I’m pretty sure that should offend me. Still, perhaps I should see things from your perspective. Let’s give it a try. You know, all I’m seeing is some dude’s navel. It’ s an “outtie”…
(In all fairness, for a guy like Kevin, “chubby chaser” has a different connotation: a very hairy, most likely flannel-clad connotation.)
And by the way. I’m a think girl whose vajaja is plenty tight. Want to find out? Wait. I didn’t say a straw could get through there.
Thick. Think. Whatever. Kevin, just go wack off to Rosie.
Kevin: Keep eatin them MnM’s, I need a nice rich brown shade for my bedside lamp.
SEO: Boobs.
Cody: I do love a succinct title.
Soy: That why I caught you adding butter to my coffee?
AJJ: I have to say, you are kinda hot. Don’t listen to Kevin. His least fave part of BBW is the W.
Micky: His mom, perhaps.
BBW is the new waif.
I’m just saying its lovely that fat people find love with each other, but I think its gross when they show affection in public. They should keep their pathetic nasty sex lives to themselves and locked away in bedrooms where I can’t see them grope each other’s skin folds.
Thanks for the write up, very nice and pretty spot on. With big girls it’s one of those “don’t knock it til you try it”, “once you go fat you never go back” type of things.
If you like the beats check out http://www.drownradio.com/cdd01 I’m in a beat contest and every vote counts. We had $12 and 12 hours to make an album.
Be ready for more plus size rap in the future.
Soy: You mean they’re also vacuous coke heads?
Kev: Now, substitute “gay” for “fat” …
D-Form: Thanks for the heads-up. I put it on our news sidebar. Plz keep in touch, we love BOTM updates!
I love fat girls. Stop this thread. (WAIT. I love EVERY girl).
E.
@ Entomo: I think that’s a very Italian perspective. Beauty can be found in any woman, regardless of the size and shape of her body.
Except for Hillary
Yep. Except for Hillary.
Hillary Clinton? What a beautiful wooden piece of a woman. I would d* her, frankly.
E.
“Hillary Clinton? What a beautiful wooden piece of a woman. ”
Wow. I love that almost as much as I hate Hillary.
Damn, that black backpack is like a screaming target for bird shit or a desperate cum shot. Sort of like Micky’s anus.
“I’m a big fan of how the asshole of fat chicks suck in their pants. Fat chick’s assholes are like wormholes for fabric.”
Man, that is just fuuuucked up. But I like the way you think.
“Soy: You mean they’re also vacuous coke heads?”
YOU RANG? Excuse me, but I’m more of a Pepsi girl myself…converted a few years back…
Ooops LMAO - I meant to delete Micky’s anus.
“Ooops LMAO - I meant to delete Micky’s anus.”
Wha?
Bagel,
In all regards, I think Hillary went underused in Bill’s hands. Monica is ugly.
E.
Bill’s penis lives vicariously through his cigars.
Hands AND organ…grossly underused.
Entomo, Chelsea is ugly, really ugly. She looks like Howard Stern in drag.
At least Monica had some hooters.
Still; Maybe you could line your Barbie like anus up with Billdos organ
“Chelsea is ugly.”
No way, Rumer Moore owns that one, hands down.
Honest to God, I could use her chin to stretch out my new shoes.
Don’t you talk about my Bildo - I would take a cigar from him any day.
Micky,
Chelsea is not female. At least, to me.
E.
Is she even married yet ? Or even date ? Fuck, nobody wants her. I wonder if bill is tapping that shit.
Hey Micky. I’m not married and I’m not dating! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!
Oh god AJ, please. You’re too much of a class act. I envy the man that can get either one out of you.
And you most certainly do not resemble a chinless fish.
But hey ! I’m not one for tabloid trash, but if Chelsea ever does write a book on “growing up Clinton” I will be first in line.
Entomo, Stil, Micky: The Clintons are a gross family who should no longer be allowed to interbreed.
AJJ: Is the name change perm? Watch out for micky, he bites.
Clinton was the worst president of the world, in my view. Even Berlusconi is funnier.
E.
Clinton was president of the world?
I didn’t know that. No wonder the world fucking hates us.
Google that shit. I think Entomo’s sources are rather faulty. And by ‘faulty’, I mean horribly inaccurate. And by ‘horribly inaccurate’ I am really implying that he needs a new Italian to Engrish translator.
I think his english is pretty good for a second language.
You should try to comprehend my spanish
Hey, I’m just trying to help. I assume your spanish is of the Taco Bell variety.
Oh, hell… I’ve got the food words down!
I can even ask for ‘mas servilletas por favor’
(more napkins, please — but I had to look it up to spell it right)
We eat at mexican diners all the time.
The really authentic ones where noone speaks the english.
It’s conversational I can’t do. I can’t conjugate.
I’ve used the ladies room in an Olive Garden, where they play ‘learn italian’ tapes instead of musak. So I’m fluent…
Buono Festa? I worked at an Olive Garden for a while. Great cocaine. Um. Yeah. Conversational spanish is something I’m a bit rusty on. Spanish was my first language oddly enough.
