Thompson is a DJ (known as Fattie B). His first book, 'I Was A 400-pound '80s DJ' is a hilarious collection of true short stories of his time behind the decks in a small town dance club. 'I Was A 400 Pound 80's DJ' is not a book about how cool it is to be a DJ. Rather, it is a collection of short tales shared through a life-long connection with 80's music that boldly bounce from surreal to silly (all while setting the record straight on proper patron-to-DJ etiquette). While most believe a DJ's life is all 'hands in the air' and V.I.P. parties, this book is here to show the underbelly and the reality of its ugly truth. As the resident DJ of a weekly 80's dance party in Burlington for the last 17 years, Fattie B has seen and heard just about everything. Each chapter of this book begins with a few lyrics from an 80's song, followed by a short story about an experience that relates to each songs' message. As a rapper in a touring band and a DJ for over 20 years, Fattie shared the stage with such talents as: The Roots, Kool & The Gang, A Tribe Called Quest, Black Eyed Peas, The Wailers, Morris Day & The Time, Maceo Parker, Busta Rhymes, KRS-One, DJ Z-Trip, Slick Rick, Africa Bambaata, The Pharcyde, Jurassic 5, Common, Big Daddy Kane, Talib Kweli, DJ Questlove, DJ Rob Swift and DJ Revolution. Pick up this hilarious, touching and entertaining book today! Review: Five Stars - It was like walking down memory lane. Great read!!! Good job Fattie Review: Stop reading Facebook and read this book. - Having been a long time friend of the author, I couldn't wait to read his book. I found it wildly entertaining and laugh out loud funny. I cringed at the thought of some of my own antics making it into the book. But, after reading it from cover to cover, I knew I was safe. It was a great time to spend a couple of days within the author's head. A fresh glimpse into the underbelly of Burlington's finest night, through the eyes of a gifted storyteller. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #6,182,218 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) | | Customer Reviews | 4.9 out of 5 stars 28 Reviews | ## Images ![I Was A 400-pound '80s DJ: My Memoirs Through Music - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61Ocynjhu5L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Five Stars *by A***R on August 17, 2016* It was like walking down memory lane.

READ THE BOOK! *by A***R on October 15, 2015* I will be the first to admit that reading was never my strong suite. I am a confident public speaker, but finding time to sit down and read has never been easy especially with my undiagnosed case of ADHD. Im having trouble sitting here to write this....where were we? Oh yea M.K. Thompson's "I was a 400-pound '80s DJ" I laughed, I cried, i was inspired. Being heavily involved in Burlington VT's music scene for the past 6 years this book of memoirs caught my attention from cover to cover. This book is for music lovers of all kinds. It is an eyeopener for some of the more sloppy party goers and it is laugh out loud funny for everyone else who is lucky enough to come across it. Fattie B thank you for adding to the ever growing music scene that is BURLINGTON VERMONT! You are truly talented and your passion for music is contagious. I find it only fitting that i make a request. The title also should be words of wisdom for all of your life long passions "SOS BAND TAKE YOUR TIME DO IT RIGHT" just like my man Fattie B did with this book. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.kw/products/17352374-i-was-a-400-pound-80s-dj-my-memoirs-through](https://www.desertcart.com.kw/products/17352374-i-was-a-400-pound-80s-dj-my-memoirs-through) --- *Product available on Desertcart Kuwait* *Store origin: KW* *Last updated: 2026-05-20*
