A few years ago MC Pooh Man embarked on what appeared to be a promising career within Hip Hop. His 3 albums including the cult classic 'Life Of A Criminal' contained a number of underground street hits as Pooh Man garnered a substantial following. His big break for national stardom came when he was featured on the sound track to the movie 'Juice'. He quickly followed that accomplishment by appearing in the movie 'Menace II Society'. Then suddenly Pooh Man who's real name is Lawrence Lee Tate began to run into big problems.
The first involved a libel lawsuit due to a song he released entitled 'Racia' which detailed the sexual exploits of an Oakland woman of the same name. Apparently Pooh-Man along with fellow rappers Too Short and Ant Banks kept it real by telling real life sex tales in this song. After this got resolved, Pooh-Man had a big falling out with Too Short and Ant Banks over money. Things continued to spiral when Pooh got hooked on heroin. The result of that addiction made local headlines when he was caught robbing a Walgreen's store here in Oakland. He was sent away to San Quentin prison for a few years. He got out and relocated to Modesto which is located in Central California.
Recently the Oakland Tribune ran a story about a Modesto crime spree in which a half a dozen banks and several jewelry stores were robbed. The robbers using a stolen Cherokee would roll through and make store owners and customers lie down on the floor during these strong arm robberies. Modesto Police formed a task force to combat the robberies. A stake out was held and Pooh-Man was captured along with 4 other suspects. He had been on parole for the 1994 Walgreen's robbery. He is now inside a Modesto jail with a $ 1 million dollar bail after leading police on a wild chase and manhunt in which he knocked on the door of a resident and literally stole the shirt off the man's back in an attempt to allude police. Pooh-Man was fleeing the scene of a bank robbery. Police and FBI are still gathering evidence and clues to connect Pooh to the other robberies during recent crime spree.

I know with all those features Harm did I'm surprised he never dropped an album. At least a mixtape with Bela or something.

Really? Post a list of Harm stuff. Besides the stuff for 40, Bila, Keak, some local Richmond stuff like Kool-Aide and Lil Ric, what else was he on?

There's a tight ass track he sung on from this cd called Bay Boyz or something from Richmond called Fly Away. It's from like 04 05 and has a wanted dead or alive type cover. Check it out if you know what I'm talking about.
