RIP BIG PUN!!!!!
Big Pun, one of my favorite rappers and the first Latin rapper to go platinum, would have turned 34 today. RIP PUN!
His lyrics from "Whacha Gon Do" from the Terror Squad Album:
It’s hard to explain how my squad can harbor the strain
of being the largest name in rap, since the almighty Kane
Acknowledge the fame, my call was to reign the streets
from Harlem to Queens, back to the Bronx who fathered the dream
Started this thing called rap, where I reign supreme, my team
Regardless of that, I’ve seen things as far as the crack
that’ll make the hardest largest artist heart just collapse
I’m part of all that that’s why it’s so hard to go back
and start from scratch
I’m locked and I’m trapped, in a giant cage
Tryin to savor these few dyin days
I have left, to the form of flesh; should I lie in my grave?
I’m tryin to persuade, my motto is try to be brave
and not give death the satisfaction of seein me dyin afraid
That why I rise from the grave singin church songs like
I was Je-sus Christ pa-rum-pum-pum-pum
RIP BIG PUN 1971-2000
