Big Pun One Hell Of A Spitter (true Or False) by otepuking(m): 5:41pm On Mar 25, 2010 |
It's funny how many of us have forgotten this legend. |
Re: Big Pun One Hell Of A Spitter (true Or False) by ElRazur: 5:50pm On Mar 25, 2010 |
Not only is he a true spitter, he uses complex words and packs his verse filled with so many words. He died before his time in my opinion. |
Re: Big Pun One Hell Of A Spitter (true Or False) by rapjunkie(m): 7:41pm On Mar 25, 2010 |
I still play his album 'Capital Punishmnet' on a regular basis. He has been overlooked in hip hop history cos he aint black. . . . Twinz - Feat Fat Joe This song still gets me pumped up [flash=500,400] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b-okIgFd024&hl=en_GB&fs=1&" type="[/flash] |
Re: Big Pun One Hell Of A Spitter (true Or False) by ElRazur: 7:50pm On Mar 25, 2010 |
I don't think he is overlooked. If anything he is regarded as one of the all time greats. He made the top 20 of so of the greatest ever rapper or something along those lines. That is an honour in my opinion. |

@rapjunkie The list was composed by Mtv base or something. This is from years back. There were loads of rappers from shakur, llcoolj, rakim, big l, down to african-bambata etc. Making a top 20 in such list is a honour. There is nothing unclear about my post, but each to their own. There are all sort of "greatest" this and "greatest" that. But if it is composed by a reputable organization, then it most likely a true reflection. |

The guy had some really crazy lines. my most fav. song of his. . . . punish me ft miss jones i wonder who he was referring to in that song [Big Punisher] I was the luckiest man on Earth, my wisdom was worth any purse but had a curse that hurt worse than givin birth My first verse explains some of the game she was playin I'm blamin myself cause in my wealth was her pain would haven Behavin like a money hungry hooker, funny how the money took her from a average honey to a stunning looker I look back and reminsce how we used to kiss and smash hips in the GS I bought her last Christ' She got too big for her britches but The Britch is Over Not the one in Queens I mean the one she dreamin wasn't sober Told her how I felt, gassed me when she cried for help Supplied the guilt trip and I was whipped without a fuckin belt I felt stupid Cupid struck me with a poison arrow Shoulda drowned ya when I found ya crushin in my boy's Camaro I didn't bother but you probably find your lover dead You robbed me of my honor, you ain't shit like my mother said Chorus: miss jones Come back come back come back come back to meeeee, Punisher Punish me, ahhhhhhhIII've been so bad, so bad Won't you come back? [Big Punisher] Nah baby, I'm Not Gon' Be Able to Do It; You blew it Threw it all the way cause you was stupid -- girl why'd you do it? I mighta knew it by the way you gave me your baby Then left a day before I ever saw the son that God made me It's hard maybe we can make amends, be friends But `were only hurtin all of us for certain by forsakin him Just take it in, don't even say a word, observe the way you were, preserved, these words so you won't play the herb ever again, never pretend that he doesn't have a father I'm always there and you don't wanna bother I honor my word on my father's grave, guide him through his hardest age So he can thrive and survive in these modern days I wanna raise my little man but you keep resistin I'm insistin you chill for real before you come up missin Listen, I don't wanna fight I'd rather do what's right A boy needs a father that's the most important part of his life Chorus 2X [Big Punisher] I gave you everything, love letters and sweaters with leather seams Feathered wings, and rings with emeralds right out of Geraldine's Simple dreams a dream fulfilled, the green DeVille Cadillac to mack, not a fact ?redeemed to build? I mean for real I can play it mami how you wanna stay at Monty Frask, givin the next nigga my kitten You want me back cause he hit it wrong, now you wanna get it on with the Long Don, word bond my shit is strong (come back) Girl don't even start again, I beg your pardon and get your hands off my six button Cardigan This ain't no love lost between us far as I'm concerned Please leave, cut that busted weave I've been dyin to burn Go buy a perm, try and earn some respect It's better to have loved and lost than live with regret [miss jones] Come back, to, me I want you to Chorus 2X to me, yeah yeah Alright, don't go, no Ohhhhhahahaooahhoahhohhh, hmmmmmm ohh hmmm hmm Yeahhhhhhhhh, take my hand, and punish me Hmm, been so bad, come punish me, yeahh Take my hand, and punish me, ohhh Been so bad, come punish me, |

Re: Big Pun One Hell Of A Spitter (true Or False) by Sauron1: 9:02pm On Mar 28, 2010 |
rapjunkie: Any rap fan without Capital Punishment is a plonker. All the 3 BIGs were Rap Legends.(Big L, Biggie, Big Pun). Jeeez, the album is mad, dope, crazy, brilliant and exquisite. Deep Cover remix was mad but it wasn't ma favourite cos Dre/Snoop did it better in 1992. Ma best track on that album is 'Glamour Life' Pun just murdered everyone on that track spitting hard from his core to the crust. [flash=425,420] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pNKpkTmFMDc&hl=en_GB&fs=1&"[/flash] The glamour life, play precise, defense is tight I'm out to settle the score, let's do it right Enough for looking at grave, It's paying back tonight Yo Twin pass the lah, pass the light The glamour life, this life I live is trife as shyte Least my wife and kid got somewhere nice to live I used to live in the gutter, me and my mother Now she's fifty years old, pushing a hummer The glamour life, hand me a knife I'll slice and dice Mini-mize, send them to Christ in the after life Pass the mic down the line, let them hear it Let them fear it, send it screaming to the Holy Spirit. |

I very much doubt folks around here really know Big L when he was alive. I think my favourite track was "Ebonics" Kai, that guy really "break it down" for that track. Also his Post Humus collaboration with Tupac was blazing. It is hard to say was was better on that particular track. |
Re: Big Pun One Hell Of A Spitter (true Or False) by Sauron1: 10:03pm On Mar 28, 2010 |
ElRazur: Only the REAL heads do. . . . .Others r mostly Kanye and Mase fans.
Big L was a freak with his punchlines. His death was so untimely. |
Re: Big Pun One Hell Of A Spitter (true Or False) by eldee(m): 10:26pm On Mar 28, 2010 |
ElRazur: Hehehe . . . erm, it's Big Pun they're talking about |

Christopher Lee Carlos Rios (November 9, 1971 – February 7, 2000), better known by his stage name Big Pun (short for Big Punisher), was a Puerto Rican rapper who emerged from the underground rap scene in The Bronx in the late 1990s. He first appeared on albums from The Beatnuts, on the track "Off the Books", and on Fat Joe's second album Jealous One's Envy, on the track "Watch Out", prior to signing to Loud Records as a solo artist. Big Pun's career was cut short in 2000 at age 28 when he died of a fatal heart attack. |
Re: Big Pun One Hell Of A Spitter (true Or False) by 4peace(m): 3:03pm On Mar 29, 2010 |
Career During the 1980s, he formed the Full a Clips Crew with Triple Seis, Prospect and Cuban Link who was at the time named "Lyrical Assassin". At this point Big Pun was operating under the alias Big Moon Dawg. Rios met fellow Puerto Rican and Bronx rapper Fat Joe in 1995 and made his commercial debut on Joe's second album, Jealous Ones Envy, in addition to appearing on a b-side to Joe's "Envy" single, "Fire Water" and "Watch Out." Later, "I'm Not a Player" (featuring an O'Jays sample) was supported by a significant advertising campaign and became an underground hit. The song's remix, "Still Not a Player" (featuring Joe) produced by Knobody, became Big Pun's first major mainstream hit. His full-length debut Capital Punishment followed in 1998, and was the first album by a solo Latino rapper to go platinum, peaking at #5 on the Billboard 200. Capital Punishment was also nominated for a Grammy, but lost out on the award to Jay-Z's Vol. 2: Hard Knock Life. He became a member of Terror Squad, a New York- based group of rappers founded by Fat Joe, with most of the roster supplied by the now-defunct Full a Clips Crew who released their debut album The Album in 1999. In 1999 he co-starred in the Albert Pyun-directed ghetto-movie Urban Menace, alongside his frequent collaborator Fat Joe. Death Excluding his adolescence, Big Pun struggled with his weight for most of his life; his weight fluctuated in the early 1990s between obese and morbidly obese. but he eventually quit the program before completing it, returning to New York and gaining back the weight he had lost.[1] On February 7, 2000, Big Pun suffered a fatal heart attack and respiratory failure while temporarily staying with family at a Crowne Plaza Hotel in White Plains, New York during a home renovation. Pun was pronounced dead at the hospital after paramedics could not revive him.[3] Posthumous works His second album, Yeeeah Baby, completed before his death, was issued as scheduled in April 2000. It peaked at #3 on the Billboard charts and earned gold record status within three months of its release. A posthumous compilation album, Endangered Species, was released in April 2001. Endangered Species collected some of Pun's " greatest hits," previously unreleased material, numerous guest appearances, and remixed "greatest verses." As with his other albums, it also peaked in the top ten of the Billboard 200, reaching #7, but didn't sell as much as the previous Pun albums had. Big Punisher was featured with Fat Joe on Duets: The Final Chapter, an album of tracks featuring the Notorious B.I.G, also deceased. The track "Get Your Grind On" begins with a Big Pun radio interview in which he said he would perform a duet with Biggie at the gates of heaven.[4] Punisher was also featured on a track from the revived Terror Squad's second album, True Story, on the track "Bring 'Em Back" with Big L. On May 2, 2001, a Bronx City Council committee stalled plans to rename a small portion of Rogers Place in honor of Big Pun because of distaste over Big Pun's lyrics, which according to The New York Times "include profanity and references to violence and drug dealing".[5] Sony Records has been considering releasing a second posthumous album featuring unreleased material [6], but the project is being delayed by Sony.[7] Liza Rios also held an auction in 2005 for her deceased husband's Terror Squad medallion, citing financial difficulties in the wake of Pun's death, and again claiming to have not received any royalty checks for Pun's posthumous album sales (save for a small check from the sales of Endangered Species).[8] Big Pun: The Legacy documentary A tribute documentary Big Pun: The Legacy was released on September 15, 2009. The film contains multiple interviews with artists, actors, close friends and others whose lives were touched by Big Pun, as well as rare exclusive performances and scene interviews with Big Pun himself. The film also features appearances by Bone Thugs-n-Harmony, Snoop Dogg, DMX, Method Man, U-God, Liza Rios, Xzibit, Cuban Link, Swizz Beatz, DJ Skribble, Chino XL and many more. Film is directed by Vlad Yudin. It is distributed through Vivendi Universal and The Soundtrack is released through Legacy/Columbia Records, Sony Music. 4rm wiki |
