CD ReviewsBig Pooh- Sleepers Constant | Vancouver, BC Canada | 02/09/2005 (3 out of 5 stars) "Big Pooh's (AKA Thomas Jones) debut album is "Sleepers" (2005). Pooh is one third of the North Carolina group Little Brother. The albums first standout track is the laidback single "Strongest Man", Pooh rhymes well over an ill beat, providing his own chorus. Big Pooh then tells a story of the streets on "Heart of The City". Pooh's LB rhyme partner Phonte drops in for the decent "Every Block", which is followed up by "Just Friends" a track where P talks about the ladies, remaining uncommitted and having fun. O-Dash and Darrien Brockington drop in for the smooth "In My Mind", this is my current favourite track, Pooh drops some deep lyrics backed by a memorable chorus. The pace picks up a bit on "Scars" a track which features appearances from Joe Scudda and Median. Pooh tells a hood story of child neglect, jealousy and murder on "The Jungle". The albums closing track has Big Pooh repping himself on "Fever". My thoughts on this album range- I enjoyed the production throughout, and from time to time Big Pooh shined (Strongest Man, In My Mind), at other times his content was forgettable, lacking in verses. I enjoy Phonte and Pooh more as a team, and am looking forward to "The Minstrel Show ". Overall "Sleepers" is a decent debut album, which I recommend to fans of Little Brother." 1/3 of the infamous trio Marcelle D. Ward | Kirkland, WA | 08/26/2005 (4 out of 5 stars) "No one has given this album a just review. I would say that this is because half of the people that reviewed aren't true heads. They probably don't even own "The Listening". I digress. Main thing is that this album shines due to Pooh's weighty voice and impeccable flow. I mean, he doesn't studder step one bit through this album, which makes me feel as if he was putting in some decent work in the studio. Props due. Pooh is basically the harder, more street visionary aspect of the group Little Brother, setting him apart from Phonte. What I like about this album is that it has an atmosphere and you can feel it on each song. Once again...beats, flows, lasting appeal. Beats: Consistent on most joints. The lackluster "Dash's interlude" is probably the only cut I skip. Everything else is banging. "I Don't Care" captures you in the onset. Nice for the most part in this area. "Strongest Man" is tight as well. Flows: I have to give it to 'em. I love his delivery and he always stays on point. Check out "The Jungle" and "Fever" if you don't believe me. The album is called sleepers because cats aren't wise to him yet. The flow is is just sick though, and it can't be ignored. Lasting appeal: Keep this in your deck. Definitely something to ride out to, or you can just chill on your patio cooking burgers. It's cool summer, spring, winter or fall. It impressed me enough that I still own it. If you liked "The Listening", buy this. " Lovely Shizzlanski | Pittsburgh, Pa | 11/26/2005 (4 out of 5 stars) "Eveyone knows by now That Big Pooh is the undercover greatness. His flows keep gettin better and better as he progresses on newer tracks. Just like on Connected, he comes with sick flows. Its a shame people still call him Tay's Cousin cause i think he can hold his own now. Little Brother=Real Hip Hop. Support these brothers"
