\n\tTo those closest to him, he was Isaac Freeman III, but around the world, he was renowned as Fatman Scoop.<\/a> Hip-hop\u2019s premier hype-man and entertainer, Scoop died<\/a> on Aug. 30 after collapsing on stage at a show in Connecticut doing what he loved \u2014 rocking the crowd. He was 56.<\/p>\n

\n\tLess than two weeks later, Scoop\u2019s peers, friends and family gathered not far from the Harlem projects he was raised in, at the famed Apollo Theater on Thursday (Sept. 12) for a celebration of life ceremony.<\/p>\n

\n\tHundreds filed into the legendary venue and felt the full spectrum of emotions. There were laughs shared from funny stories, heartfelt moments, tears shed and some partying to music along the way. <\/p>\n

\n\tWhile Scoop showed up for so many whenever called upon in his decorated life, plenty of recognizable faces returned the favor to be in attendance at the ceremony. For perhaps the final time, Scoop and his recognizable bark brought people from different walks of life together for one last party. <\/p>\n
