Big Poppa E a spoken word artist and three-time HBO Def Poetry veteran who melds rhythmic verse, stand-up comedy, and dramatic monologue into explosive works that skewer pop culture, politics, and the pain and beauty of relationships. His musings have led to appearances on BET's The Way We Do It sketch comedy series, National Public Radio, and CBS's 60 Minutes (although, truth be told, he was only on for about three seconds... but still...) Recently, his viral video Why I Got Fired From Apple Computer was viewed a million times on sites across the Internet, including YouTube and Google Video, garnering links from 13,000+ websites.

Big Poppa E burst onto the scene as a member of the '99 San Francisco Poetry Slam Team, co-champions of the '99 National Poetry Slam in Chicago and the only undefeated team out of 48 that year. The piece he performed on the finals stage -- The Wussy Boy Manifesto -- has since become a rallying cry for outcasts, dorks, dweebs, and feebs everywhere, leading Ms. Magazine to proclaim him "an icon for effeminate males" and The Los Angeles Times to declare him "the leader of the new Wussy Boy movement." The piece is now one of the most popular poetry slam works performed by high school speech competitors across the country.
