“Growing up in the ‘hood in Kansas City, a damn fool, that was me!” said Scoob. “I’d stick to my whiskey bottle, go as hard as I wanted to. But now I’m seeing the effects of that over the long term, so I’m in a position to tell cautionary tales. Don’t worry, I got jokes!”
He also gave some insight into the meaning of the title, saying that it was inspired by touring with artists like Fat Joe and E-40.

“When I let my personality out on tour, cats like Fat Joe and E-40 were howling and said ‘You a damn fool!,'” he explained. “Tech N9ne was watching and told me, ‘That’s what I want you to give people on this new album.'”
HipHopDX recently premiered the video to the first single off Damn Fool, titled “All I Know is Hood.”
