Pooh ain't the greatest in shape guy, but man, he's a great performer. Just that when he's next to phonte, really hard to keep up with that man. I think lAnce Armstrong would have a tough time keeping up with Phonte you definitely gotta be in shape to do these live shows up

He has a lot of flash and flare with this stuff and I don't buy it. Murs on the other hand..has his hair.

When you have an artist that knows they can do whatever they'd please [i.e. show up an hour and a half+ late & put on a 60 minute show or hold out the mic to the crowd for 80% of the songs], and people will still buy you're album, it usually leads to a bad live performance. On that note, MURS is too personable. Love him. I love how he broke out a burnt CD of his own music and put it in himself at RTB Toronto, hahahha.
