He now considers himself fortunate to have survived. Friends were murdered. Others are serving consecutive life sentences for homicide.
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.

Won't Ease Up
Big Scoob Lyrics
Pushing pounds by the thousands feel me bread counting for hours hear me real niggas
No cowards near me real life no acting in me sipping liquor
I'm tripping bro told you niggas like years ago showed you niggas no fear in bro
I'm papered up but I still ago I'm getting older
I'm supposta to grow got the message but fuck it though hear to Texas
And grab some blow it bullshit but its still a go push it nigga
I push it man stop n grab some rubber bands enough to rap a hundred bands man
I love this gutter dance
I won't ease up till my g's up that's all that I know I won't freeze up went that peace up
I'll reap what I sow I don't sleep enough and can't drink enough its all getting old if I ease up or
I freeze up that's all that she wrote soil living
I'm from the mud block nigga that's were I'm loved ftb with a villain twist from 56th
And we with the shits my star is shinning
They watchin' now pussy prayin' that they knock me down nuts hanging my cock is out
You even tried but can't stop me now gorilla wit it call me king Kong boss nigga
My team strong caked up n my green long villain nigga wit a theme song can't stop n
I won't stop I won't ease up till mys g's up I won't freeze up if that peace up
I need a peace bruh till I'm peaced what I won't ease up till my g's up that's all that I know
I won't freeze up went that peace up ill reap what
I sow I don't sleep enough and can't drink enough its all getting old if I ease up or
I freeze up that's all that she wrote I can't sleep enough I can't drink enough
I need blinders for these visions I keep waken up and keep drankin' up
I'm so blinded bye this mission poured a full cup now
I'm spillin' liquor gives a fuck I'm like fuck it nigga following in places
Linin' up bread keeps coming its pilling up solo dolo no pillin' up vato loco
When a pile truck dumped the truck and then add it up keep it pushin'
I ain't had enough used to dream bout tearin it up pen and picture
I was mad as fuck my gutter dreams and my gutter schemes got me winnin' you mad or what
I won't ease up till my g's up that's all that I know
I won't freeze up went that peace up ill reap what I sow
I don't sleep enough and can't drink enough its all getting old if I ease up
Or I freeze up that's all that she wrote
No cowards near me real life no acting in me sipping liquor
I'm tripping bro told you niggas like years ago showed you niggas no fear in bro
I'm papered up but I still ago I'm getting older
I'm supposta to grow got the message but fuck it though hear to Texas
And grab some blow it bullshit but its still a go push it nigga
I push it man stop n grab some rubber bands enough to rap a hundred bands man
