One of the greatest verses In Hip-Hop History... "Dead in the middle of Little Italy, little did we know That we riddled two middlemen who didn't do diddily"
Show Me Your Genitals .Your Genitals listen to the albums Represent (1993) and Don Cartegena (1998) and then rethink that statement. Fat Joe fell off just like everybody else but no one, absolutely no one stayed as sick as Fat Joe for that long. Represent (1993) was a few years ahead of his time. He's also collabed with many legends. Fat Joe deserves to be up there more than Eminem. Fat Joe is a legend
I remember the day he died. I was lifting weights preparing for my senior year of high school football (2000), when a radio announcer from a San Diego area hip hop station (Jammin Z90) said during a music break that Pun died. I was shocked when I heard that shit that day.
Ahead of the time is such a cliche. this killed when it came out. Plus look at the music now..this wouldnt get a second look. It came out at the exact time
For anyone wondering, the subway station at the start is Freeman St (in the Bronx, obviously). It was also the location for "Wild Style," the first ever hip-hop movie (1983).

Pun: We don't do that here
Top comment material here 😂
Actually Big Pun breathed hard maybe he does it over the bass lol but I hear him clearly but doesn't matter to me.
Bro big pun breathes so hard you can hear the saliva going down the back of his throat
@@prodigalosu Exactly...

Big Pun and Fat Joe together go absolutely hard.

RIP Big Pun
Un orgullo para la historia del rap latinoamericano🔥🔥
Oye por que hay dos canciones iguales y quien la saco primero dre o big pun ??
@@giovanirosasvillavicencio2564 dre hiso el beat
cypress hill! orgullo latino!
@@giovanirosasvillavicencio2564 estuve investigando mas a fondo y el beat fue creado por Dr.Dre, y es algo muy raro ya que muchos solo hacen samples. El sonido de una voz que esta al principio de la cancion es un sample y el que suena junto a ese que es como un fosforo encensiendose y el ritmo son otros dos samples
@@giovanirosasvillavicencio2564 u know what a sample is?
Big Pun had 1 of the craziest word games in the HISTORY of hip hop!! God bless him, Fat Joe and Snoop for puttin it down properly!!! All young cats need to peep this!!

Big Pun is my number one rapper of all time, but my favorite part of this song is when the beat drops and fat joe goes in.
LouieLou Hernandez lol Yh it’s less lyrical but still smooth as fuk.
True dat, Fat Joe swooped in and raised the hype.
One of the most underrated artists of all time.. RIP PUN
You know its real hip hop when you’re quiet through out the whole video cause you have to pay attention to the lyrics while watching a mini movie. Miss these days!
