In making it through, the 35-year-old learned several important lessons that impacted his rap career.
“ That’s what I fuel my music on,” he says. “I’m speaking about the past, and I can still understand what the young cats are doing now because I’ve been through it. Everything I write about has 100 percent truth to it. Did it happen today, did it happen yesterday? No. But has it happened in my lifetime? Yes. ”
Scoob first met Tech N9ne during their junior high days at Bingham Middle School. Tech, squared off against Scoob in a beatboxing competition. The two quickly became friends, particularly when Scoob learned that Tech lived in his same neighborhood.
The two lost touch soon after graduating from Southwest High in 1991. Tech moved on to work on his rap career, while Scoob was still running the streets.
In the mid ‘90s after Scoob had cleaned up his act and began pursuing music, their paths crossed again. This time they met up at a music expo in Minnesota. Scoob was looking at starting his own group, while Tech was in between labels. The two helped form the successful local rap group, 57th Street Rogue Dog Villains, which released four albums under Midwestside Records, including the popular single, “Let’s Get Fu---- Up.”
In 2002, Tech N9ne left to help form Strange Music. Meanwhile, Scoob’s distribution label filed for bankruptcy.
Fed up with the music game, Scoob left it entirely to help raise his four daughters.
“ I went home and did the family thing for six, seven years, Scoob says. I’ve just been laying low out of people’s eyesight, regrouping. ”
Tech N9ne was the one to coax Big Scoob back into the rap game after all those years. Scoob helped out on some collaboration with Tech and Strange Music and eventually his desire for the industry came back.
In 2009, Big Scoob released his debut solo album titled "Monsterifik". There is also talk of a new album for the group 57th Street Rogue Dog Villains.

Big Scoob! That's my nigga rippin it up,
Put the hood up on my shoulders man I'm lifin it up,
Tip in my cup, still a nigga givin a fuck,
You can get touched, pussy nigga spillin them guts,
Man they wanna see the boss don, I be stompin on the hardest streets they walk on,
Old nigga but my knuckle game is still on, it's still strong,
You can test it nigga watch me get my vill on, yeah!!
What they missed nigga so I'm back searchin for mine, fresh off the grind,
Still gutta sick with these rhymes, flippin these lines, you can see the truth in my eyes,
Never no lies, leven vill screamin with pride,
Till the day that they rest me, hog stylin gutta livin villain that's me
(Tell em who you talkin bout)
[Tech N9ne]
The way I, drink heavy when I party n shit, the way I disrespect a bitch and say sorry n shit,
The way I, make it switch it from red to dookie brown, spot a curve and dope boss dogg and lay em down,
On the roads and be no lost cause and wait around,
Show them hoes there'll be no toss drawers till you pay the hound,
The way I refrain, from hangin with simps and never fuckin with shrimp that ain't deveined,
The way I smash for the cash, the way I mash harder (FLASH!),
Caught a broadcast on the blast with a last broader,
Why I'm half martyr, The reason I take showers 'cause I don't like sittin in ma ass water,
My reason for red chucks and red laces, my reason for fuckin up and never catchin fair cases,
The way I go so hard on the liquor, vill livin is a given and create it because of my nigga
(Scoob!!)
[Big Scoob]
Mayne I'm back and I'm hungry, big homie from the show me niggas know me,
Only villain take a yic and then I (cloning???), Real talk I can give it how you want it,
I can put you niggas on that 5-6, villain niggas movin the crowd, and I'm tryna make Strange,
Put some hog in they style, dogg and I'm wild, vans left the bark on the ground,
Stompin him out, pussy nigga runnin his mouth, but for now imma changed man,
OG so I'm stickin to the game plan, takin papers makin moves like a grown man,
Vill steppin in the seven first up for the field plan,
And you can get it if you want it with me, definitely, I can give you more than you need,
Gutta livin and I'm screamin the V, wherever I be, that's how you niggas know that it's me
