| | | |
| | F.U. Don't Take It Personal is the debut studio | |
| | album from American hip hop group Fu-Schnickens, | |
| | released February 25, 1992 on Jive Records. | |
| | Recording sessions for the album took place at | |
| | Battery Studios in New York, New York. | |
| | | |
| | The album peaked at number sixty-four on the | |
| | Billboard 200 chart. By late 1992, it was certified | |
| | gold by the RIAA, for shipping 500,000 copies in the | |
| | United States. | |
| | | |
| | | |
| | | |
| | | |
| | Fu-Schnickens was composed of Chip Fu (Roderick | |
| | Roachford), Moc Fu (Joe Jones), and Poc Fu (Lennox | |
| | Maturine). Fu stood for unity and schnicken was a | |
| | made-up word that meant "coalition". | |
| | The three friends from East Flatbush, Brooklyn, | |
| | first gained attention after performing at a hip hop | |
| | event at Howard University, after which the group | |
| | was signed by Jive Records. | |
| | The group's debut single, "Ring the Alarm," hit the | |
| | top ten on the Billboard Hot Rap Tracks chart in | |
| | 1992, which sparked anticipation for the group's | |
| | debut album, F.U. Don't Take It Personal, and also | |
| | inadvertently immortalized and ignited a new-found | |
| | popularity for the original "Ring the Alarm," the | |
| | signature tune of dancehall reggae singjay Tenor Saw | |
| | from 1985, which the group sampled to create its | |
| | track of the same name. Furthermore, with the hit | |
| | singles "La Schmoove" (featuring Phife Dawg of A | |
| | Tribe Called Quest) and "True Fu-Schnick," the album | |
| | reached the top 20 on the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums | |
| | chart and was certified for gold-level sales by the | |
| | RIAA. | |
| | | |
| | In 1993, Fu-Schnickens began work on its second | |
| | album. The group recorded a fast-paced song called | |
| | "What's Up, Doc?" which featured a sample of Bugs | |
| | Bunny saying his famous catchphrase. But the group | |
| | could not get sample clearance from Warner Bros. so | |
| | the song was shelved. Meanwhile, the then-rookie NBA | |
| | star Shaquille O'Neal was a media sensation. In many | |
| | interviews, he talked about his love of hip hop | |
| | music and stated that the Fu-Schnickens were his | |
| | favorite hip hop group. This prompted the group to | |
| | contact O'Neal for a collaboration. O'Neal recorded | |
| | a verse that was added on to the already-recorded | |
| | "What's Up, Doc?" with the group and O'Neal saying | |
| | "What's up, doc?" to replace the Bugs Bunny sample. | |
| | Although the group had not yet completed work on its | |
| | album, the song was quickly released as a single to | |
| | capitalize on O'Neal's popularity. The single was a | |
| | top-40 hit in the summer of 1993, which briefly | |
| | propelled the group into the mainstream. | |
| | The group's second album, Nervous Breakdown, did not | |
| | arrive until 1994. | |
| | | |
| | The group took part in a huge performance on the | |
| | finale of The Arsenio Hall Show, alongside the likes | |
| | of KRS-One, Wu-Tang Clan, Naughty by Nature, MC | |
| | Lyte, Guru, Mad Lion, Yo-Yo, Das EFX, CL Smooth, and | |
| | A Tribe Called Quest. | |
| | | |
| | Fu-Schnickens is also notable for its many | |
| | references to martial arts films and Asian culture | |
| | before Wu-Tang Clan, which eventually helped make | |
| | such references popular in hip hop music. | |
