Big Mook

The song that caused much controversy amongst emcees in the Bay area in 2003!! This is a TampaHipHop.Com exclusive. Big Mook, formerly of Dirty Blond, jokingly raps about jacking Tampa Bay emcees for their goods over 50 Cent's "Wanksta" beat. Big Mook maintains that the song is simply a joke and he made the song for fun, and that it is not intended to start beef.
