Take a moment and go back in time with Rapper Big Pooh, before everyone claimed to sell rocks. It was a tougher time with more substance and there were no internet thugs. Fast forward to today and one thing still hasn’t changed: Big Pooh is still rapping to cause change while others are rapping for loose change. Case in point is the new video single from his joint album with producer Apollo Brown, Words Paint Pictures. The simple editing for the video follows Apollo Brown from record store to studio as he crafts the beat while Pooh schools rappers on life lessons. The thing with Pooh is that even when he’s shutting rappers down, they can walk away from the verbal beating with some knowledge.

You can pre-order the EP digitally on iTunes or physically on Mello Music Group’s site (vinyl/CD).
