Get On Down

<p>Rapper from South Bronx, New York City. Born November 10, 1971, died February 7, 2000. Known as Big Pun, he started his career in the late 80's-early 90's as a member of the rap group Full-A-Clips. Later on, he joined forces with fellow Latin Bronx rapper Fat Joe and emerged as one of the most influential artists in the industry. Unfortunately, at the age of 28, Big Pun passed away due to a heart attack and respiratory failure caused by his serious weight problem.</p>

"Beware" and "Dream Shatterer" are great examples of Big Pun at his best, dark cinematic production with just enough room to let him breathe fire. On "Twinz (Deep Cover)" Big Pun is trading bars with his mentor Fat Joe over a remake of Dr. Dre's classic beat. Here Pun delivers one of his most quoted verses that contains among others "Dead in the middle of Little Italy little did we know that we riddled some middlemen who didn't do diddly". There are numerous guest appearances, the best of which include afore mentioned Fat Joe (on several tracks), the Roots' Black Thought on the MC showcase "Super Lyrical," Prodigy and Inspectah Deck on "Tres Leches (Triboro Trilogy)," and an extra-insane Busta Rhymes on "Parental Discretion."
