In 2000, American disc jockey DJ Kool used “It Takes Two” as a basis for his song of the same name, featuring Fatman Scoop. His version charted at number 12 on the US Billboard Hot Rap Singles chart that July. Fatman Scoop later recorded his own version of DJ Kool’s take, retitling it “It Takes Scoop”, which features the Crooklyn Clan. It was released as the follow-up to “Be Faithful”, which topped the UK Singles Chart in October 2003 and charted worldwide. Fatman Scoop wrote the track with Giotto Bini and Andrea Rizzo, and it was produced by the Crooklyn Clan.
