• Big Bear - He's doin' thangs

Big Bear is a rapper whose fluent and mind-provoking lyrics have garnered him fans across the world. He is probably most well known due to the album cover of his magnum opus, the 1998 cult album "Doin' Thangs" whose cover is probably one of the most visually exquisite album covers to date. [IMG]http://i48.tinypic.com/oqc9sg.jpg[/IMG] The cover for Doin' Thangs is something that I could spend hours gazing upon, the metaphores and secret meanings in it are too much to number. And the name of the album "Doin' Thangs" is also a brilliant and complex, no matter how it may look like to the simpleton mind. Ask yourself, "Am I doing something? If I do what am I doing?" The answer is simple, yet deep. You're doin' THANGS. Brilliant. And how the B-Bear himself is depicted on the cover surrounded by bears, in front of a table filled with fruit is pretty much self-explanatory and fits incredibly well with the album cover. THAT is the definition of doin' thangs! Here's a brilliant part of the "The 10 Worst Rap Album Covers Ever Made" article I've found(check the quote author for the link to the full article, which is pretty hilarious). [QUOTE=www.torkhum.com/topten.html]There are so many things that are absurd on this cover that I cannot quite comprehend all of it. 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.[/QUOTE] And here's a great promo video for the album, and keep on doin' thangs!
