Raised in the south side of Compton, Rucker was a neighborhood friend of Compton artist Eazy-E. Mark "Big Man" Rucker was invited by his buddy to get involved with his Ruthless Records label during the 1990's. During Eazy's final days suffering from complications from AIDS in the hospital, Big Man was one of Eazy's few associates that remained by his side during the ordeal. Before his death, Eazy was offered a deal to work on an adult film project. E decline the offer and passed it on to Big Man. Big Man pursued the opportunity with another Ruthless colleague Yella. The two eventually began making their own film productions through DJ Yella Entertainment. Currently Big Man runs his own company, Big House Productions. Died in 2016.
