HIP HOP LEGENDS OF 90s #6 - Big Pun
Imagine that you owe some money to a really large dude like Big Pun or Fat Joe! Now imagine that he caught you on the street and wants to give you a lesson. That would be a lesson you will never forget. I definitely don't want to get in troubles with someone that looks like Big Pun. And I don't want to end up in a freestyle battle with someone who has rap skills like Big Pun had!

BIG PUN

... dead in the middle of Little Italy, little did we know
That we riddled two middlemen who didn't do diddily...
This is one of Big Pun's multi-syllabic rhyme schemes, he was famous by those.
Now imagine a really big, fat guy that can't stop rapping, doesn't make any pauses to take a breath and he doesn't have any mercy for hie enemies. I found out about him in 1999 when I was 14 and Pun was still alive. I went crazy about his rap and in one period of my life I didn't listen anything but Big Pun.

One of the greatest (and largest) MCs ever rose from the underground scene in Bronx, New York. His first group was Full-A.-Clips with Lyrical Assassin (Cuban Link), Joker Jamz and Toom.
He met Fat Joe in 1995 and made appearance on his second album in the song "Watch Out". Two years later he was a guest on an album of brilliant Beatnuts on the song "Off the Books".
In 1998 he released album "Capital Punishment" and it was nominated for Grammy. He had awesome songs there, "You Ain't a Killer", "Twinz" with Fat Joe, "I'm not a Player" as a commercial mainstream hit and the remix of the song (which was even more successful) "Still Not a Player". But I guess "Twinz" was the best track from the album and one of the best hip hop songs ever!
Big Joe founded a group "Terror Squad" in 1999 and Pun was the most talented member. They released an album "The Album" and the best song was Big Pun's solo "Whatcha Gon Do?"! I think that when I heard this song for the first time, I repeated it for 20 times.
Big Pun suffered a heart attack and died 2000, two months before he planned to release his next album!
The tracks were already recorded so "Yeeeah Baby" was released in April 2000 as it was planned as the first posthumous Big Pun's issue. Best tracks are "100%", "My Dick" and "It's So Hard" with Donell Jones.
The posthumous compilation of Big Pun's best songs, "Endangered Species" is probably one of the best hip hop CDs ever.
