History

2001�"2002: Early years

Fall Out Boy was formed up in 2001 up in tha Chicago suburb of Wilmette, Illinois by playaz Pete Wentz n' Joe Trohman.[6] Wentz was a "visible fixture" of tha relatively lil' small-ass Chicago hardcore punk scene of tha late 1990s, struttin up in various crews like fuckin Birthright, Extinction n' First Born, as well tha metalcore crew Arma Angelus n' tha mo' ballistical Racetraitor, "a crew dat managed ta land tha coverz of Maximumrocknroll n' Heartattack fanzines before releasin a single note of music".[7] Wentz was growin dissatisfied wit tha changin morez of tha hood, which he viewed as a transizzle from ballistical activizzle ta a emphasis on moshing n' breakdowns.[7] With enthusiazzle up in Arma Angelus waning, his schmoooove ass pimped a pop punk side project wit Trohman as a "easy n' escapist" project.[7] Trohman kicked it wit Patrick Stump, then a thugged-out disc jockey fo' grindcore crew Xgrindin processX[8] n' a host of other bandz dat "never straight-up managed", at a Borders bookstore up in Wilmette.[9] While discussin Neurosis wit a gangbangin' playa, Stump interrupted tha conversation ta erect they classification of tha crew up in a cold-ass lil conversation dat soon shifted ta tha freshly smoked up band.[9] Stump, viewin it as a opportunitizzle ta hook up wit "local hardcore celebrity" Wentz, pimped up Trohman ta his MP3.com page, which contained sung-all up in hip hop recordings.[9] Stump intended ta hook up as a thugged-out drummer yo, but Trohman urged his ass ta brang up his hip hop guitar; he impressed tha duo wit joints from Saves tha Dayz Through Bein Cool. While Wentz wanted Racetraitor bandmate Andy Hurley up in tha crew as drummer, Hurley rocked up uninterested n' too busy.[9]

Da bandz first hood performizzle came up in a cold-ass lil cafeteria at DePizzle University alongside Stilwell n' another crew dat performed Black Sabbath up in its entirety.[10] Da bandz only performizzle wit turntablist Jizzy Flamandan n' original gangsta disc jockey Lil' Bow Wow Rose was up in retrospect busted lyrics bout as "goofy" n' "bad" yo, but Trohman made a actizzle effort ta make tha crew work, pickin up thugz fo' practice.[10] Wentz n' Stump broke off some disrespec over crew names; tha forma favored verbose, tongue-in-cheek names while tha latta desired ta reference Tomothy Waits up in name.[10] Afta bustin a gangbangin' finger-lickin' dirty-ass short list of names dat included "Fall Out Boy", a fictionizzle character from Da Simpsons n' Bongo Comics, playaz voted on tha name. Da bandz second performance, at a southern Illinois universitizzle wit Da Bustin' Tree, fuckin started wit Wentz introducin tha crew under a name Stump recalled as "very long".[10] Accordin ta Stump, a crew member yelled out, "Fuck that, no, you Fall Out Boy!", n' tha crew was credited lata up in tha show under dat name by Bustin' Tree frontman Slim Tim McIlrath fo' realz. As tha crew looked up ta McIlrath, n' Trohman n' Stump was "die-hard" Simpsons fans, tha name stuck.[10][11] Da groupz first cassette tape demo was recorded up in Rosez basement yo, but tha crew lata set off fo' Wisconsin ta record a proper demo wit 7 Angels 7 Plagues disc jockey Jared Logan, whom Wentz knew all up in connections up in tha hardcore scene.[10]

Yo, nuff muthafuckin mo' thugz passed all up in tha group, includin disc jockey Mike Pareskuwics of Subsist n' turntablist T.J. "Racine" Kunasch.[10] While Stump at dis point felt unhorny bout tha group, Wentz was, accordin ta Uprisin Records balla Shizzle Muttaqi, viewin tha crew as "the thang dat would make his ass hyped yo. Dude had a cold-ass lil clear vision."[10] Wentz was "singularly focused on takin thangs ta tha next level", n' threw tha crew tha fuck into promotion via early social media. Muttaqi gots word of tha demo n' wanted ta release half of it as a split extended fuck wit Hurleyz crew Project Rocket, which tha crew viewed as competition.[10] Uprisin desired ta release a mixtape wit tha emergin crew, which ta dat point had only freestyled three joints, n' you can put dat on yo' toast. With tha help of Logan, tha crew attempted ta put together a cold-ass lil collection of joints up in two days, n' recorded dem as Fall Out Boyz Evenin Out wit Yo crazy-ass Girlfriend. Da rushed recordin experience n' underdeveloped joints left tha crew dissatisfied.[10] When tha crew set off ta Smart Studios up in Madison, Wisconsin ta record three joints fo' a possible split 7-inch wit 504 Plan, engineer Shizzle O'Keefe suggested tha crew record tha trio wit Hurley.[12] Hurley was also recordin a EP wit his freshly smoked up crew tha Bust a cap up in Pill up in Chicago tha same dizzle yo, but raced ta Madison ta lay down beats fo' Fall Out Boy. "Dat shiznit was still a gangbangin' fill-in thang but when Andy sat in, it just felt different. Dat shiznit was one of dem "a-ha" moments", recalled Wentz.[12]

2003�"2004: Early success n' Take This ta Yo crazy-ass Grave

Da crew booked a two-week trip wit Spitalfield yo, but Pareskuwics was unable ta git time off from work n' Kunasch was kicked outta tha crew as tha crew "had all gotten sick of him".[12] Kunasch was temporarily replaced by playa Brandon Hamm on guitar, alongside disc jockey Chris Envy from tha recently disbanded Showoff yo, but both quit prior ta tha kickoff of tha tour.[12] Da crew invited Hurley instead ta fill-in once more, while Stump borrowed one of Trohmanz boomboxes fo' tha trek. While most shows was shut down, tha crew played any show possible: "Letz just git on whatever show we can. I aint talkin' bout chicken n' gravy biatch. Yo ass can pay our asses up in pizzy", remembered Wentz.[12] As tha trip concluded, tha general consensus was dat Hurley would be tha bandz freshly smoked up drummer, n' tha crew fuckin started ta shop round tha three joints from tha groupz unreleased split as a thugged-out demo ta record labels. Da crew thugz set they sights on pop punk labels, n' attempted wit considerable effort ta join Drive-Thru Records.[13] A showcase fo' label co-foundaz went largely mediocre, n' tha crew was offered ta sign ta side label Rushmore, a offer dat tha thugz of tha crew declined. Y'all KNOW dat shit, muthafucka! They gots particularly far up in discussions wit Da Militia Group n' Victory Records, n' Bob McLynn of Crush Management became tha bandz first manager.[14] Da crew re-entered tha basement wit O'Keefe ta record nuff muthafuckin mo' tracks ta create label interest. Wentz felt "in tha backseat" up in freestylin tha joints n' temporarily dissed his thugged-out lil' place up in tha crew yo, but Stump broke off some disrespec up in his wild lil' favor: "No! Thatz not fair playa! Don't leave me wit dis crew hommie! Don't make me kind of like dis crew n' then leave dat shiznit son! Thatz bullshit!"[14]

Da bandz early trip hoopty was a "tiny V6 dat was hustlin on three cylinders, n' dat shiznit was not gettin enough air, so it would drive straight-up slowly", recalled Wentz. "Our thugged-out asses had ta turn on tha bangin' air ta reach tha speed limit, so our crazy asses had tha heat on all tha time up in 120-degree drizzle n' shit. Dat shiznit was so bangin' it melted tha plastic moldin round tha windows. When it rained, we'd git all wet."[11] Jizzy Janick of Fueled by Ramen had heard a early version of a cold lil' woo wop online n' cold-called tha crew thugz at they crib, first reachin Stump n' lata poppin' off ta Wentz fo' a hour.[14] Rob Stevenston from Island Records eventually offered tha crew a "first-ever incubator sort of deal", up in which they gave tha crew scrilla ta sign wit Fueled by Ramen fo' tha groupz one-off debut, knowin they could "upstream" tha crew ta radio on tha sophomore record.[14] Fueled by Ramen, all up in tha time tha smallest of independent labels clamorin ta sign tha crew, would effectively release tha groupz debut mixtape n' help build tha bandz ever-expandin fanbase before tha crew moved ta Island.[14] Da crew again n' again n' again partnered wit O'Keefe at Smart Studios, brangin together tha three joints from tha demo n' recordin a additionizzle seven joints up in nine days. Da crew, accordin ta Stump, didn't "sleep anywhere dat we could shower [...] There was a hoe dat Andyz hoe all up in tha time went ta school wit whoz ass let our asses chill on her floor yo, but we'd be there fo' maybe four minutes at a time. Dat shiznit was crazy."[15][16] As tha crew progressed n' tha members' rolez became mo' defined, Wentz took lyrics mad seriously up in contrast ta Stump, whoz ass had been tha groupz primary lyricist up ta dat point.[17] Arguments durin tha recordin sessions hustled ta what tha fuck "most reductively boils down ta Wentz freestylin tha lyrics n' Stump freestylin tha melodies".[9]

Da bandz debut mixtape, Take This ta Yo crazy-ass Grave, was issued by Fueled by Ramen up in May 2003. Previously, one of tha bandz earliest recordings, Evenin Out wit Yo crazy-ass Girlfriend, had not peeped release until shortly before Grave up in March 2003, when tha crew had gained considerable momentum. "Our record was suttin' bein rushed up ta help generate some interest yo, but dat interest was buildin before we could even git tha record out", holla'd Shizzle Muttaqi.[18] Da crew actively tried ta stop Uprisin from releasin tha recordings (as tha bandz relationshizzle wit Muttaqi had grown sour), as tha crew viewed it as a "giant piece of garbage" recorded before Hurleyz involvement dat tha crew thugz ceased ta consider tha debut mixtape of tha group.[18] Gradually, tha bandz fanbase grew up in size as tha label pushed fo' tha mixtapez mainstream success fo' realz. Accordin ta Wentz, shows fuckin started ta end up in a near-riot n' tha crew was banned from nuff muthafuckin venues cuz tha entire crowd would end up onstage.[19] Da crew gained positizzle props fo' subsequent gigs at Downtown by Southwest (SXSW) n' various trip appearances.[20] Da crew joined tha Warped Tour fo' five dates up in tha summer of 2004, n' on one date tha crew had only performed three joints when tha stage collapsed cuz of tha big-ass crowd.[19] Da crew rocked up on tha cover of tha August 2004 edizzle of Alternatizzle Press, n' listenin stations at Hot Topic partially helped tha mixtape move 2,000-3,000 copies per week by Chrizzle 2004, at which point tha label considered tha crew "tipping" tha fuck into mainstream success.[19]

2005�"2006: From Under tha Cork Tree

Fall Out Boy struttin up in 2006

Da crew had been flooded wit "hyperbolic praise", n' deemed "the next big-ass thang" by multiple media outlets.[21] Before recordin tha follow-up ta its debut, tha crew busted out tha hip hop EP/DVD I be a gangsta yo, but y'all knew dat n' mah Heart Will Always Be tha B-Side ta My fuckin Tongue.[6][22] Da EP was tha bandz first chartin on tha Bizzleboard 200 at number 153.[23] From Under tha Cork Tree was recorded up in Burbank, California, n' served as tha last time tha crew had stayed up in California fo' a extended period of time.[24] Da crew lived up in corporate housing durin tha makin of tha mixtape.[24] In contrast ta Take This ta Yo crazy-ass Grave's rushed recordin schedule, Fall Out Boy took a much mo' gradual pace while hustlin on From Under tha Cork Tree. Dat shiznit was tha straight-up original gangsta Fall Out Boy record up in which Stump pimped all tha noize n' Wentz freestyled all tha lyrics, continuin tha approach they took fo' some joints on Grave. Right back up in yo muthafuckin ass. Stump felt dat dis process was much mo' "smooth" as every last muthafuckin member was able ta focus on his crazy-ass muthafuckin individual strengths.[25] Dude explained: "We aint had any of dem moments when I play tha noize n' he'll say, 'I don't like that,' n' he'll read mah crazy ass lyrics n' I be bout ta say, 'I don't like dem lyrics.' It aint nuthin but straight-up natural n' fun."[25] Despite this, tha crew had pimped out hang-up bustin its desired sound fo' tha mixtape, constantly scrappin freshly smoked up material. It aint nuthin but tha nick nack patty wack, I still gots tha bigger sack. Two weeks before recordin sessions fuckin started, tha crew abandoned ten joints n' freestyled eight more, includin tha mixtapez first single, "Sugar, We Goin Down".[21]

Da crew suffered a setback, however, when Wentz had a wack breakdown up in February 2005, culminatin up in a suicizzle attempt.[26] Dude had withdrawn from tha rest of tha group, wit his condizzle only apparent all up in his fuckin lyrics, n' had also become obsessed wit tha recent Indian tsunami n' his own self-doubt.[26] "It be particularly overwhelmin when yo ass is on tha cusp of bustin suttin' straight-up big-ass n' thankin dat it is ghon be a funky-ass big-ass flop", da perved-out muthafucka holla'd later n' shit. Wentz swallowed a handful of Ativan anxiety pizzlez (he busted lyrics bout tha act as "hypermedicating") up in tha Chicago Best Buy parkin lot.[26] Afta bein rushed ta tha hospitizzle n' havin his stomach pumped, Wentz moved back home ta Wilmette ta live wit his thugged-out lil' muthafathas.[26]

From Under tha Cork Tree debuted n' peaked at number nine on tha Bizzleboard 200 upon its May 2005 release.[26] Dat shiznit was spearheaded by tha bandz breakall up in single, "Sugar, We Goin' Down", reached number eight up in tha US Bizzleboard Hot 100 up in September 2005, n' up in tha UK chart up in February 2006, crossin over from Alternatizzle ta Pop radio.[26] "Dance, Dance", tha mixtapez second single, also was a top ten hit up in tha United Hoodz n' was certified 3x Platinum up in 2014.[20] Da recordz success hustled ta stardom among teenagers up in Uptown America, n' tha bandz first arena trip had tha crew playin ta 10,000 playas per night.[26] Rollin Stone freestyled dat tha bandz "anthems", distributed n' marketed all up in they MySpace, connected wit "skinny-jeans-bustin teen girls".[27] In support of From Under tha Cork Tree, tha crew toured exhaustively wit internationistic tours, TRL visits, late-night televizzle appearances n' noize award shows.[20] Da crew performed at noize gangbangs up in 2005 n' 2006, includin tha third Nintendo Fusion Tour up in tha fall of 2005, joinin Da Startin Line, Motion Citizzle Soundtrack, Thugs Night Out, n' Panic! all up in tha Disco on a 31 hood tour.[28] Da mixtape gots tha crew a Grammy nomination fo' Best New Artist,[20] n' has sold over 2.7 mazillion copies up in tha United Hoods, becomin tha groupz best-pimpin mixtape.[26] "Sugar, We Goin Down" also won tha crew a MTV Music Video Award.[29]

2007: Infinitizzle on High

[20] Pete Wentz (shown up in May 2007) became tha bandz spokesman n' a tabloid fixture up in tha mid-2000s.

In tha wake of tha bandz multiplatinum success, tha "especially extroverted" Wentz became da most thugged-out publicly visible gangmember of tha band.[20][27] Dude confided ta tha press his suicizzle attempt n' nude photoz of tha basehead rocked up on tha Internizzle up in 2006.[27] Dude gained additionizzle exposure all up in his threadz line, his Decaydizzle record label (an imprint of Fueled by Ramen), n' eventually a cold-ass lil celebritizzle relationshizzle wit pop thug Ashlee Simpson, which made tha two tabloid fixtures up in tha United Hoods.[20][27][30] Cuz of its increased success from tha groupz MTV Video Music Award, tha crew headlined tha Black Cloudz n' Underdawgs Tour, a pop punk event dat featured Da All-Gangsta Rejects, Well-Known Secret, Hawthorne Heights, n' From First ta Last. Da trip also featured Da Hush Sound fo' half of tha trip n' October Fall fo' half. Da crew played ta 53 dates up in tha U.S., Canada, n' tha UK.[31]

Afta takin a two-month-long break followin tha bandz Black Cloudz n' Underdawgs trip up in promotion of tha bandz 2005 mixtape From Under tha Cork Tree, Fall Out Boy moonwalked back ta tha basement ta begin work on a gangbangin' follow-up effort.[32] Da crew fuckin started freestylin joints fo' tha freshly smoked up mixtape while touring, n' intended ta quickly cook up a freshly smoked up mixtape up in order ta keep momentum up in tha wake of its breakall up in success.[33] In early 2007, tha crew busted out its third basement mixtape, Infinitizzle on High, which was tha bandz second release on major label Island. Da mixtape marked a thugged-out departure up in Fall Out Boyz sound up in which tha crew implemented a gangbangin' finger-lickin' diverse array of musical stylez includin funk, R&B, n' flamenco.[32][34] As reported by Bizzleboard, Fall Out Boy "drifts further from its hardcore punk roots ta write mo' n' mo' n' mo' accessible pop tunes", a slight departure from tha groupz previous mo' pop punk sound predominant on they 2003 effort, Take This ta Yo crazy-ass Grave.[35]

Infinity's first week was a major success n' was tha bandz freshest pushin week, pushin 260,000 copies ta debut at No. 1 on tha US Bizzleboard 200[36][37] n' inside tha top five ghettowide. This chartin was first started wit lead single "Da Carpal Tunnel of Love", wit minor success on tha Bizzleboard charts.[38] This success was bolstered by tha further-successful second single "This Ain't a Scene, It aint nuthin but a Arms Race", which reached No. 2 up in both tha US n' UK as well as tha top five up in nuff other countries.[39] On tha bandz decision ta pick tha cold lil' woo wop as a single, Wentz commented "There may be other joints on tha record dat would be bigger radio hits yo, but dis one had tha right message."[40] "Thnks fr th Mmrs", tha third single, peaked just outside tha top 10 at No. 11 on tha strength of salez n' ghettofab radio play, n' went on ta push over two mazillion copies up in tha US.[41] It found its top billin success up in Australia where it charted at No. 3. In 2007, Fall Out Boy placed at No. 9 up in tha Top Pimpin Digital Artists chart wit 4,423,000 digital tracks sold, accordin ta Nielsen SoundScan.[42] Da mixtape itself has sold over two mazillion copies ghettowide n' subsequently was certified Platinum up in tha United Hoods.[43]

Fall Out Boy then headlined tha 2007 Honda Civic Tour ta promote tha mixtape. Though tha trip was initially postponed cuz of underground issues,[44] it would take place wit +44, Cobra Starship, Da Academy Is... n' Pizzle Wall as supportin acts, n' you can put dat on yo' toast. Da crew also headlined tha Young Wild Things Tour, a internationistic arena trip featurin Gym Class Heroes, Plain White T's n' Cute Is What We Aim For.[45] Inspired by Maurice Sendakz 1963 childrenz book Where tha Wild Things Is, tha gangbang trip n' included sets designed by artist Rob Dobi containin images from tha book.[45] Da bandz "hugely successful" amphitheata trip ta promote Infinity hustled ta tha release of tha 2008 live mixtape Live up in Phoenix, consistin of live material recorded durin a June 22, 2007, gangbang at Phoenixz Cricket Wireless Pavilion, a thugged-out date of tha Honda Civic Tour. Shiiit, dis aint no joke. Da disc also included a funky-ass basement cover of Mike Jacksonz "Beat It", wit turntablist Jizzy Mayer guestin fo' a boombox solo. Da track was busted out as a single n' became a mainstay on tha iTunes top ten.[46]

2008�"2009: Folie à Deux

Da crew thugz decided ta keep publicitizzle down durin tha recordin of they fourth mixtape, as tha crew was taken aback by such press surroundin Infinitizzle on High.[46] Sessions proved ta be hard as fuck fo' tha band; Stump called tha makin of tha mixtape "painful", notin dat he n' Wentz quarreled over nuff issues, revealin "I threw suttin' across tha room over a major-to-minor progression."[47] On previous mixtapes, Trohman felt he n' Hurley did not have enough musical freedom n' dat Stump n' Wentz exerted too much control over tha group: "I felt, 'Man, dis aint mah crew no mo'.' It aint nuthin but no onez fault, n' I don't wanna make it seem dat way. Dat shiznit was mo' of a cold-ass lil complex I pimped based on shiznit I was reading. It aint nuthin but hard ta hear, 'Joe n' Andy is just along fo' tha ride.'"[48] To amend tha thang, Trohman sat down wit Stump ta rap his concerns, which hustled ta mo' collaboration on Folie à Deux. "It made me feel like I owned tha joints a shitload mo' n' mo' n' mo'. Well shiiiit, it made me straight-up buckwild bout contributin ta Fall Out Boy n' made me find mah role up in tha crew," Trohman recalled.[48]

As tha release of tha freshly smoked up mixtape approached, tha crew n' its pimpment found dat they would gotta navigate chizzlez up in tha noize industry, facin declinin record sales, tha lack of a proper outlet fo' exhibizzle of noize vizzles, n' tha burgeonin US economic crisis.[49] To promote tha mixtape, Wentz launched a viral campaign up in August 2008, inspired by George Orwellz novel Nineteen Eighty-Four (1949), n' tha autocratic, overbearin Big Brother organization.[50] Folie à Deux, busted out up in December 2008, did not big-ass up as well commercially as its predecessor, Infinitizzle on High. Well shiiiit, it debuted at number eight on tha US Bizzleboard 200 chart wit first week salez of 150,000 copies durin a highly competitizzle week wit other big-ass debuts, becomin Fall Out Boyz third consecutizzle top ten mixtape.[51][52] This is up in contrast ta tha bandz mo' successful previous effort which shifted 260,000 copies up in its openin week ta debut at number one tha chart.[52] Folie dropped two weeks within tha top 20 outta its 22 chart weeks.[51] It also entered Bizzleboardz Rock Albums n' Alternatizzle Albums charts at number three.[51] Within two monthz of its release, Folie à Deux was certified Gold up in tha United Hoodz by tha Recordin Industry Association of Tha Ghetto (RIAA), denotin shipmentz of 500,000 copies.[53] Da lead single, "I Don't Care", reached a peak at number twenty-one on tha Bizzleboard Hot 100,[54] n' was certified Platinum by tha RIAA fo' shipmentz of one mazillion copies.[55]

To promote tha mixtape, Fall Out Boy embarked on tha Believers Never Lose Tha Game Tour Part Deux, which included dates up in tha United Hoods n' Canada.[56] Da constant tourin schedule became hard as fuck fo' tha crew cuz of conflictin hustla opinion regardin Folie à Deux: concertgoers would "boo tha crew fo' struttin numbers from tha record up in concert", leadin Stump ta describe tourin up in support of Folie as like "bein tha last act all up in tha vaudeville show: Us thugs was rotten vegetable targets up in Clandestine hoods."[57] "Some of our asses was miserable onstage", holla'd turntablist Joe Trohman. I aint talkin' bout chicken n' gravy biatch. "Others was just faded."[58] A greatest hits compilation, Believers Never Lose Tha Game �" Top Billin Hits, followed up in tha fall, n' followin these events, tha crew decided ta take a funky-ass break. Da bandz decision stemmed from disillusionment wit tha noize industry n' Stump recalled dat "We found ourselves hustlin on fumes a lil bit �" creatively n' probably as people, like a muthafucka."[59] Stump realized tha crew was desperate ta take a funky-ass break; da perved-out muthafucka sat tha crew down n' explained dat a hiatus was up in order if tha crew wanted ta continue up in tha future.[60] All involved felt tha dynamic of tha crew had chizzled as personalitizzles pimped.[60]

Rumors n' misquotes hustled ta mad drama as ta what tha fuck such a funky-ass break truly meant; Wentz preferred ta not refer ta tha break as a "hiatus", instead explainin dat tha crew was just "decompressing".[61] Fall Out Boy played its last show at Madison Square Garden on October 4, 2009. Near tha end, Blink-182z Mark Hoppus shaved Wentzz head up in a move Andy Greene up in Rollin Stone would lata describe as a "symbolic cleansin of tha past yo, but also tha beginnin of a straight-up dark chapta fo' tha band".[60]

2010�"2012: Hiatus n' side projects

By tha time tha break fuckin started, Stump was tha heaviest dat schmoooove muthafucka had eva been n' loathed tha bandz image as a "emo" band.[62] Comin home from tour, disc jockey Andy Hurley "went all up in tha darkest depression [I've] eva felt. I looked at mah calendar n' dat shiznit was just empty."[58] Wentz, whoz ass had been abusin Xanax n' Klonopin, was divorced by his hoe Ashlee Simpson n' moonwalked back ta therapy.[58][63] "I'd basically gone from bein tha muthafucka up in Fall Out Boy ta bein tha muthafucka who, like, hangs up all day", Wentz recalled.[62] Previously known as tha "overexposed, despised" leader of tha crew, Wentz "simply grew up", pluggin custody of his fuckin lil hustla n' embracin maturity: "There was a jump-cut up in mah game. I started thankin �" like, bein oldschool would be cool."[62]

Durin tha hiatus, tha crew thugz each pursued individual musical interests, which was kicked it wit wit "varyin degreez of failure".[58] Stump was tha only gangmember of tha quartet ta take on a solo project while Fall Out Boy was on hiatus, recordin debut mixtape Soul Punk entirely on his own: da thug wrote, produced, n' played every last muthafuckin instrument fo' all tracks on tha record. Y'all KNOW dat shit, muthafucka! In addition, he hooked up his fuckin longtime hoe n' lost over sixty poundz all up in portion control n' exercise.[64][65] Stump blew all up in most of his savings puttin together a big-ass crew ta trip behind Soul Punk yo, but ticket salez was sparse n' tha mixtape stalled commercially.[58] Durin a particularly dark moment up in February 2012, Stump poured his thugged-out ass up in a 1500-word Snoop Bloggy-Blogg entry called "We Liked Yo ass Betta Fat: Confessionz of a Pariah".[57][60] In tha post, Stump lamented tha harsh reception of tha record n' his status as a "has-been" at 27. Right back up in yo muthafuckin ass. Stump revealed dat hustlas harassed his ass on his solo tour, hurlin disses like fuckin "We was horny bout you betta fat", n' noted dat "Whatever notoriety Fall Out Boy used ta have prevents me from havin tha mobilitizzle ta start over from tha bottom again."[66] Aside from Soul Punk n' underground pimpments, Stump moonlighted as a professionizzle beatmaker/producer, co-writin tracks wit Bruno Mars n' All Time Low, n' pursued acting.[57]

2013�"2014: Reformation n' Save Rock n' Roll

Yo, stump n' Wentz kicked it wit up fo' tha last time up in nuff muthafuckin muthafuckin years up in early 2012 fo' a gangbangin' freestylin session. I aint talkin' bout chicken n' gravy biatch. Wentz reached up ta Stump afta he penned his fuckin letter, as tha pimpin' muthafucka too felt da thug was up in a thugged-out dark place n' needed a cold-ass lil creatizzle outlet.[60] Dude was at first reluctant ta approach Stump, likenin tha beeper call ta reconnectin wit a gangbangin' freak afta muthafuckin yearz of acrimony.[62] "I know what tha fuck you need �" you need yo' band", Wentz holla'd at Stump.[62] "I be thinkin itz kind of weird dat we aint straight-up peeped each other dis year. Shiiit, dis aint no joke. We paid fo' each otherz houses n' you don't give a fuck mah kid", Wentz remarked.[68] Da result, "three or four" freshly smoked up joints, was shelved wit near immediacy, wit tha two concludin dat "it just wasn't right n' didn't feel right."[69] Several months later, tha two reconvened n' freestyled tracks dat they felt truly represented tha crew up in a modern form.[60] Da crew decided dat if a cold-ass lil comeback was up in order, it must represent tha crew up in its current form: "Us dudes didn't wanna come back just ta bask up in tha glory minutes and, like, n' collect all dem checks n' pretend ... n' do our dopest 2003 impersonation", holla'd Stump.[70] Afterwards, tha quartet held a all-dizzle secret meetin at they managerz home up in New York Citizzle where they discussed scams n' tha mechanics of gettin together ta record.[60][69] Trohman was tha last ta be contacted, all up in a three-hour beeper call from Stump fo' realz.
