Young Noble aka Marbles (given name Rufus Cooper III) is an American rapper who was recruited to the group Tha Outlawz in 1996. He received the nickname marbles from Tupac Shakur who said he had a knack of ruining a good rhyme when he spit his verse. Young Noble was born in Rancho Cucamonga, California on March 21, 1976 and had a brother and some sisters. His father was never there for him and his mother was on drugs most of his life so she wasn't really there either.
