Im more concerned with why you were looking for big bears in the first place.

Were you trying to find the Amazon adult titles section? :lol:

What is it? Furry hip-hop?

QuoteThis is one of those albums that falls into a very-bad case of "Judging a book by its cover" (or album, whatever). Having seen the cover float around the net for a while, I was flabbergasted when I entered my local record store and actually found it, for the bargain price of £6

I snapped it up without a second thought, knowing Id probably never get a chance like this again, and ran home, excited and possibly a little scared.

My expectations were kind of let down, instead of something truly horrible it was actually pretty decent. Production is solid, although not in the "Superstar" category, but it holds up and Big Bears flow is not as whack as the cover would have you believe.

Most of the production is very downbeat and soulful with no real bangers, but dont let it dishearten you: Bear has his moments, and theres a surprising variety in style throughout the album.

Its not the next Pac or Dre by any means, but very good if you want something relatively different and musically inoffensive.

What the hell was that guy on?
