[@Idiotsincarshere]

Tres Leches. RIP PUN!

[@Idiotsincarshere]

@Luis Ishmael What song? That line is in the song Tres Leches, which was on Pun's Capital Punishment album and it came out 3 years before the JOSE album

[@Idiotsincarshere]

Luis Ishmael Good knowledge my man! Those were the first time he said that "then snatch the moon out the sky, and blow the sun away".. sick song. and now i have to listen to the whole album haha!

+pusher man/ flesh peddler he still not full dominican let alone dude doesnt even speak spanish, i never understood this whole fab is dominican pride growing thing in the 2000's. and yes im dominican myself.

[@bxboro4662]

King Koopa lol I agree. I don't think he even knows his pops or that side of the family.

[@danielmercedes639]

It started when he put the dominican flag on some uptowns in an early music video (I forget the video) that kinda got people wondering. And since then he never really addressed it until a few months ago on the breakfast club. He said he half dominican but he grew up without his pops so he dont even know that side of his family.

Vlad why don't you interview Liza Rios and the Rios kids?! Big Pun one of the most polarizing characters in hiphop since Biggie.. the stories ppl tell of him are fucking hilarious! you should def interview the family!

Fat joe didnt need cuban link

[@Adam84]

Fat Joe didn't roll with him like that. He he was Pun's boy

[@Clouds12012]

Cuban is Pun's best friend only. FatJoe was never their friend he was just the guy with the money that signed them and forced himself on all Puns tracks and raping Pun's written verses. if you look at joe after Pun passed, you can tell he has no rapping skills at all

[@manuchonucho13]

l I chilled with Joe and link back in the day at the softball games lol Memories. so cool he brought that up. Wish I had gotten to meet big pun but him being a home body makes sense why I never saw him.

[@gmcneoplan84]

Cool story al zolez. I didn't know that Pun was a homebody. I would have thought he would have been out there in them clubs or hanging out with his many friends and shit back when he was hot. He probably was a supreme family man and he probably liked to kick back at home.

[@LARGEMANNN]

one of my favorite MC's cuban so underated yet so lyrical but i guess in this day n age being intelligent is the new stupid...

[@LARGEMANNN]

let the new age tell it we need to relax and take notes and i thought old was like 65+ but there i go being intelligently stupid...

[@billonair1474]

mad respect cuban link you from the same era real music shitt

[@gmcneoplan84]

Cuban Link was that man back in the late 1990s and early 2000s. I think as an MC that cat is underrated. He can do rough street rap and he can do songs for the ladies ("All I Want is You" on the 2001 album Pleasures U Like by Jon B).

[@danzena4059]

"Still telling lies" is one of my favorite tracks from the 2000's.

[@hanzoyamazaki2551]

Hey, Tommy also said he arrived at the interview on time, but was delayed 45 mins. 5 mins into the interview after waiting 45 mins, Tariq shows up....really?

Big Pun the best rapper.

[@inkyfrog98]

when I hear ppl like this dude talk in real life. all I do is say.. sureeeee

[@pejoshy8736]

Why do I feel, that if Big Pun was Black, they would swear he was the Greatest Rapper Ever, since Biggie. But because Big Pun is Latin, he doesn't get that credibility he deserves.Today, people don't acknowledge him. At the same time, I question Eminem. If Eminem was black, he would be described as a very good rapper, that's all. Eminem is white, so he's the greatest rapper ever. This is totally a joke.

[@emil3731]

I think because he never achieved the mainstream success B.I.G did.

[@aftercarecarez]

Pe Joshy EM is BY FAR the greatest rapper ever

[@angmariesaulniveysmama185]

This just sounds stupid. If pun didnt pass he would have surpassed pac and big and im saying this as a HUGE pac fan...hes my num 1 fave but pun was amazing! I love hearing puns stories!

[@angmariesaulniveysmama185]

@Luis Ishmael facts. Big facts if there were some wild stories about pun BEFORE he died he would have been more mainstream.

[@cybercityoedo808]

Color has nothing to do with it and Latin=mixed. Peurto-rican and Cuban are Nationalities... and not race. Know your history, all of humankind originated from Africa 🌍 and spread from there. Check out Olmec statues if you doubt that Latin and African have links.
