"Big Bear - Doin Thangs"
Mon Oct-22-12 07:19 AM by topaz

  

          

So most us remember this outrageously terribad yet outstanding album cover:

http://g-ecx.images-amazon.com/images/G/01/ciu/b1/4c/b0dfe03ae7a0726752cdb110.L.jpg

I decided to actually search for some tracks from the album, after coming across the cover again on the Pen & Pixel wiki page. I was expecting some No Limit knockoff shit with terrible rapping (bear-centric lyrics, if you will)...but surprisingly, the songs are actually...not too bad?

Classic example of not to judge a book by its cover.

Cuz if it was REAL and actually officially sanctioned by Big Bear, then he basically committed career suicide by letting that ever see the light of day.

LOL! Damn, dude is actually kinda decent...reminds me of some late 90's Rap-A-Lot or Suave House type stuff.
If he had a different album cover, he might have developed a small cult-like following within the southern
or midwest markets or somethin'...

that most people don't even bother to hear what's on it.

Yeah, dude surprised me because I just knew he was one of the typical No Limit styled rappers from the Pen N' Pixel era. I was pleasantly surprised by him.
