Big Pun

[therapist]

Damn. I just discovered him. For some reason I didn't take him seriously but after listening to The Dream Shatterer and now his whole discography, I put him right next to Em lyrically. Shit's insane.

Thoughts?

[yoda you can call me]

Bout time nicca, check my sig

[ganjakush56]

[Francesco]

One of the greatest of all time...

[geoff]

Yeah only ever listened to one of his albums the other week. How the fuck I went this long without hearing capital punishment is beyond me...

You're right, i just relisitened to it. I copied and pated that from Rap Genius as well, also the same on AZlyrics. eesh

Yeah Yoda… nice one in the sig. I am just in awe and shock that it took me this long to discover pun. I consider myself a hip-hop head. I've studied all Nas shit, Em, Biggie, Jay, Pac, Wu-Tang, older legends… all that shit…

But for some reason I always had a wall up against Punisher… I guess because "Big Pun" sounded lame and I just didn't expect him to be good. I'll tell ya though, first 4 bars into the first Pun song I ever heard I had already shit my pants 5 times. Truly one of the greatest. Ahead of his time.

If he hadn't died he might be the GOAT right now, he is rapping like Em on MMLP2, on his DEBUT from '98

nah, not better, eminem is much more versatile than pun imo, pun, from a technical standpoint, is rapping on an elite level, but to me, eminem has that versatile, flexible, adaptable artistry. If pun didn't die, i don't think he would have seen much longevity (at least in the mainstream facet of hip-hop). To me though, Big L shits on both of them in terms of punchlines.

I don't know man. Em is more versatile in what he raps about, Pun might be more versatile technically with the lyrics tho, tbh...
