Big Pun's Family Wants Street Renamed

Big Pun's family is on a campaign to get a street renamed for the late rapper, who died of a heart attack 11 years ago.

Nicole Rodriguez, sister of Big Pun, who was born Christopher Rios, has an online petition to get a slice of Rogers Place near 163rd Street named "Big Pun Place."

His sister says he was a true New Yorker who loved his town and his people.

She says fans come to the corner to pay respects.

Fans attempted a similar move in 2000, but the effort failed.

You can sign the petition HERE.

There's no way she's gonna get it, unfortunately.

No matter how many signatures she gets, the NY road and streets district are crazy tight.
