Master Fuol

Hip-hop has had its fair share of fools, but only one Master. Compared to none but only the likes of the great late Ol' Dirty Bastard and Flava Flav due to his unorthodox style, ODB saw so much of himself in Master Fuol that prompted him to adopting the Master, formed a group with him and passed him the torch. Master Fuol, who is most recognized for his starring role on MTV’s ground breaking “Lyricist Lounge Show,” can easily be considered the Richard Pryor of hip-hop. Much like the legendary comedian, there’s no telling what’s liable to come out of his mouth; but whatever it is, you know it’s going to be wild. It was Master Fuol and his ability to flip a comedic flow in a cipher with freestyle fiend Wordsworth and a few others that brought the idea to Lyricist Lounge co-founder Anthony Marshall to create the sketch comedy show for MTV. Master Fuol’s crazy energy and flawless flows made him the perfect candidate to star in the hip-hop variety show. It was his offbeat characters, as well, that significantly contributed to the “Lyricist Lounge Show” being one of MTV’s highest rated shows during its two season stint. A master of rhythmic flows, Fuol’s often explicit antics, both on and off stage, has made Fuol’s live show an experience few will ever forget.

A product of the borough of Brooklyn, Brownsville, New York, finds comfort and creativity in the grimy streets where he’s affectionately know as “Mayor Fuoliani.” Making light of life situations most could find deplorable, Fuol finds solace in the ghetto life that surrounded him as his life and paints a picture through rhyme as only he can. Maybe it was Master Fuol’s love of grit and grime that prompted the great late Ol’ Dirty Bastard of the Wu-Tang Clan to invite Fuol to open for him on his 1998 tour, or maybe it was because outside of Flava Flav, no one else in the music industry is as unpredictable on stage. The energy and creative vibe made ODB form a group with Master Fuol while on tour along side his brother 12 O' Clock and Poppa Chief of the Brooklyn Zu fam called D.R.U.G.s (Dirty Rotten Underground Grimmies).
