Big L was hands down the greatest freestylist of all time. How can you even compare him to Pun, you dumb as fuck. Pun wasn’t good at all, it wasn’t until he dies when people started mentioning him, no props given from me.

Big L is the shit, but Big Pun is better imo. Big Pun, one of the greatest to ever get on the mic, no joke. Props White Folks on the post, let me bump my Capital Punishment, lyrics at it’s finest.

How yall niggas even gon bring up some comparison type shit to a thread that’s dedicated to a nigga’s life? This ain’t a debate it’s remembering a rappers legacy.

Personally Pun was one the the nicest ever!! He could easily hold his own to a Eminem or Nas or Canibus or Jada or whoever yall niggas consider a “great lyricist.” Pun was ill and would shit on Big L lyrically (to the nigga that brought that up). Capital Punishment was a CLASSIC, one the the best rap albums of the 90s and to date. Pun made his impact while he was alive (hence becoming the 1st Latino rapper to go plat). That shit wasn’t no fluke, that nigga was the truth. What yall young boys know about Big Pun??? If you were born after 1990, you don’t know shit bout Pun so be easy on them reckless comments…

all i was saying his whole tenure in the rap game he wasn’t even in the top 20, now that he’s dead the dude is now one of the greatest? you fucking kidding me. Slick Rick, Meth and Redman, 36 Mafia, DMX, Em, Jay, the Hot boys was on the scene releasing they shit, Nate Dogg, Bubba Sparxx, Shyne, Dr Dre Chronic 2001, come one now. I can go on and on; say Pun was hotter than anyone I listed at the time. Pun was not even good, now all of a sudden he dead and he one the greatest? GET THE FUCK OUTTA HERE!!!!

If you claim to love the art form that is hip-hop, but you have no idea who Big Pun was or fail to understand why he is held on such a high pedestal, you should kill yourself asap.

..This is my opportunity to get a listen! I was born in 1990 so obviously I wasnt listening to hip-hop when this guy was around..and I live in the UK. Which only plays Pop/Dance music on the radio. Hence to why I dont listen to mainstream music. Got introduced to Rap when Em hit mainstream when I was about 11 or 12..then it just got led from there really.

Pun deserved to die, he was a woman beater and he the gangster lifestyle. He was caught on film pistol whippin’ his wife! Biggie made being fat cool then Pun came out and ruined it for fat people.

robbyfresh u arent too far off.. IMO puns one of the greatest of all times.

biggies flow was bananas dont get it twisted, but when you look at the gerth of pun, and his wordplay for dude of such a size. its just ridiculous:

Ready for war Joe, how you wanna blow they spot
I know these dirty cops that’ll get us in if we murder some wop
Hop in your Hummer, the Punisher’s ready; meet me at Vito’s
with Noodles, we’ll do this dude while he’s slurping spaghetti….

Dead in the middle of Little Italy little did we know
that we riddled some middleman who didn’t do diddily.

^i know inshape niggas who cant comprehend whatthe fuck is comin outta his mouth, lettalone spit that bar when they hear the track.

Pun was a beast & a genius lyrically. Music is a beautiful thing, even though he’s been gone for a decade, his words will live on forever. In my opinion he’s up there with the best to ever do it & taken from us too early (2Pac, Notorious BIG, Big L). Respect, R.I.P. Big Pun.
