Johnny Jackson, better known by his stage name Johnny Famous and formerly as Big Scoob, is an American rapper. He began his career as a back-up dancer for Big Daddy Kane, before making his debut rap appearance on Big Daddy Kane's 1988 album Long Live the Kane. In 1992, he released the single "Non Stop" with Scrap Lover, who was Big Daddy Kane's other dancer at the time.

In 1994, Jackson signed a deal with Cold Chillin' Records and released the single "Suckaz Can't Hang" as "Big Scoob and The Booty Bandits". Two years later, he released his third single, "Champagne on the Block".

After a period of inactivity in the late 1990s, Jackson returned at the turn of the century, releasing seven singles on the Fully-Blown Recordings label from 2000 to 2002. His final release as Big Scoob was the single " Can Du ", released in 2003 on Trendsetters.
