doin' thangs

I have posted this pic all over the interweb for a few years now. I'm serious. Numerous forums, message boards, and emails have been privy to this spectacular album cover. I really wanted to know more about the artist, the man behind the magic. I'm talking about the king of rap known as Big Bear. Well, there is not much about him on the 'net. I found his Amazon page though, where there are nine customer reviews all ranging from rage to laughter. My favorite review of this album comes from a wonderful person named rap junkie "yay area" from the Westcoast. I will now copy and paste it for you.

Lets be honest what can be harder than a guy that rolls with a crew of grizzly bears that drink and smoke cigars. The guy looks so stoned on the album cover it's hard to tell if he's even conscious. The bears are sporting some sort of smoking jacket, appear to be very relaxed. This would be a good album for someone who likes barney, but would rather see barney smoking marijuana and drinking a forty-ounce. He has four bears smoking blunts and wearing jewelry while drinking cristal in front of a table filled with cigars, strawberries, assorted nuts, and fresh fish. Oh, and his name is in HONEY FOR THE LOVE OF GOD. Just in case you thought he was going light on the bear theme. The name of the album is baffling. "Doin Thangs" is such a broad description. What is he doing? THANGS. No time for apostrophes, Big Bear is on the move. I'm just relieved that he didn't forget to put a high number of lens flares onto the cover. Without it he might have lost the hook necessary to alert people that he is, in fact, doin thangs.

I really couldn't have written it any better. Some of the tracks include "Whatcha Workin Wit," "Playa Hatas," and "Hoes Is Scared." Something for the youth. One of the reviewers did say, however, that he raps "super tight." I have come full circle in life. Who wants to go halfsies and buy this with me?
