Cuban Links "Flowers For The Dead" and "Letter To Pun" are straight CLASSIC; never heard or I probably haven't found a song tribute to Big Pun like Cuban Links did
Moe Leezy these are some of the most real things I’ve ever heard and it’s on a random ass video from Terror Squad. What he says halfway about losing people is insane.
I really respect Cuban you can tell he actually cares about people and is a real dude also never lies in his stories to make himself or his people look better
Yeah that’s true. When my best friend died about 10 years ago I fell to my knees when I found out. Never felt that kind of grief before. And I had just gone through a traumatic experience myself. I was in the hospital for a month, jaw wired shut for 3 months.. I hadn’t seen my friend in like 2-3 years and he came to see me when I got home from hospital. It was a Friday and he died that next night Saturday/Sunday morning. I always will miss him. But I am grateful that I got to see him that one last time and it was a beautiful day we were sitting outback in the sun just talking. He was so happy I was still alive and I was so happy to see him again.
Sad Big Pun wasn't hear for the Reggaeton Era in the Mid 2000's. He would have made some dope songs for that time(had he kept his weight together tho).
ruclips.net/video/5vjg_trXZjw/видео.html this was as close as big pun got to being in a reggeaton album.this double cd one of it was just reggeaton and and the other one was hip hop.you had daddy yankee with nas,busta rhymes with yavia, fat joe with mexicano (best song of the cd)
Cuban linxs done a couple of reggeaton tracks when it crossed over in the anglo radio stations back in 04/05. He did one with don omar called “scandalous”
Pun wasn't underrated bro, everyone knew then and everyone knows now that Big P. was (is) the shit...The one who was really underrated was my nigga Cuban.
This guy is a REAL Friend !!! Didn't always tell him what he wanted to hear. A true friend tells you the truth out of real love.✌✌✌ Love ya Cuban Link 😊😊😊😊
Cuban Links "Flowers For The Dead" and "Letter To Pun" are straight CLASSIC; never heard or I probably haven't found a song tribute to Big Pun like Cuban Links did
One of my closest friends died on the operating table after I jumped his ass and went on a diet with him. He found a faster way and I begged him to not get the reduction. He died 4 days before Christmas 5 years ago. Absolutely heartbreaking RIP Pun… Peace and Love to his friends and family.
Pun died over 20 years ago And Cuban still has pain in his eyes like it happened yesterday. I relate to that because I have the same pain in my heart. Mine was only three years ago and I still cry like happening at it and I know 20 years from now I will still be crying. You just hope that they know I mean if they knew that you love them as much as you do and you hope that they left knowing that
I bugged out when he said he looked at Pun as a Super Hero. That's ill. I've known a few people I looked at that way. *IT AFFECTS YOU TWICE AS MUCH WHEN YOU'RE FORCED TO REALIZE THAT THEY'RE MORTAL.
Damn Pun!! I remember that day in 2000 on MTV News when it said Pun had died. It was crazy because prior to that I remember other news saying Pun had lost 100/lbs (600 pounds then) but somehow that didnt work.
I hung out with big puns uncle's..and other family members in the 70s.I was able to attend Puns last day of viewing at the funeral on Westchester Ave.when I saw how he was dressed with his derby on chest was hard to believe he was taken away from all his fans.I'm sure he's up in heaven doing his thing.
I never 4get walking into my 7th grade class n my home boy telling me YO BIG PUN DIED!!!! i never 4get the pain i felt..my mom had just bought me his YEA BABY album for xmas... R.i.p big guy
i wish i had a homeboy like this, you can see the loyalty on his eyes. im 500 pounds i need to loose weight i be getting lazy too much never was like this, i need to get back to my grind!!
pun really made me understand that no matter our color we all brothers and we all have the gift of hip hop in our hearts those who have the dream of being an artist..anyway RIP Pun ..your kids doing they thing God bless.
Cuban Link didn't show Tony Sunshine shade in this video at all especially compared to Tony Sunshine showing shade on some "The other guy" or "I'm not gonna say his name Vlad" type BS.
damn this guy s tears is what kills me. he really was trying to help big pun, and all that these industry cancers did, was helping pun to an early death, while the same industry cancers be countin the money pun made for them. rip pun
I remember an interview on MTV with TS at circa '99" , Everybody on the set spoke except Pun. He never spoke, he was droopy-faced looking like he was about to pass out right then and there. I knew something was wrong.
cuban and pun....their strong as platinum steel brother bond was and STILL IS one of the main reasons for a lot of jealousy within the terror squad. i been following terror squad for a while now basically bc they all are from where IM from and STILL live. after PUN passed, a lot of craziness happened. its like damn...just imagine if he didn't pass so soon smh
Joe's wrote his own lyrics, but later on he did have his ghost-writers. Pun was the main reason why I started listening to Joe. After "J.O.S.E." he had lost his touch. As far as best besides Pun. I'd say it would be either Prospect or Triple Seis. It's a shame neither of them has an album and only featured on several tracks of Pun and Joe. I always thought Remy Ma was dope too. Her debut album could've been better though and was long overdue as well.
Hell yeah, I'm from the "A" I bumped that Big Pun "Capital Punishment" album until I had to buy a new cd, Lol along with my "Outkast" album "Aquemi" and that Fat Joe album "Don Cartagena" the "Terror Squad" definitely had a movement going
I like this guy. He comes off as genuine. I was incarcerated during his time. He seems like a real Vato who still has love for his deceased Brother. I can see the pain in his eyes when he reminisces about his Homie. I recognize his pain and I can relate to it. Shout out to Cuban and Pun's Crew and Family. I like Chris Rivers flow also. The dude is representing his Father's name well. Edit: Rest in Eternal Peace Big Pun. You opened doors for Latinos coming into Hip Hop. You are missed and remembered my Guy! 🙏✊
You could see the pain in his eyes. He really loved pun. That's loyalty
Cuban Links "Flowers For The Dead" and "Letter To Pun" are straight CLASSIC; never heard or I probably haven't found a song tribute to Big Pun like Cuban Links did
Facts those are 2 classic records.
facts
Evan Alexander your exactly right im walking in those shoes different circumstances but same scenario
Jerry Cornwell feel you. Lost my homie 8 months ago. Shit crazy out here. Keep ya head high though bro.
Mad respect to Cuban for actually giving a damn about his right-hand mans and not being a yes-man when he needed to be!
P-Money! It's hard to find real ones
That's keeping it 💯
You know wassup bro that was his real brother he loved him
Word
Oh man...this is sad
R.I.P. Pun

RIP PAC
Hey canibus
Oh hey canibus
I really respect Cuban Link for telling Pun the hard truth when no one else would, that's someone with true compassion.
This guy gives off crazy good energy
Pedraza Art well said.
💯
He’s a good dude and talented himself .. fatjoe is a snake 💯
Feel like he's the only one who really got over that ego shit and just grew up as a man.
He does I met him this summer he was amazing
You can tell he really loved pun like a brother he almost cried talkin about the day of his death
Moe Leezy true
Moe Leezy these are some of the most real things I’ve ever heard and it’s on a random ass video from Terror Squad. What he says halfway about losing people is insane.
I always thought Cuban link was his blood brother is he not??
Cuban link not his real brother??
@@paracytesvyrus7319 no not real brothers. Pun is Puerto Rican and Cuban is Cuban from Cuba lol
We lost Big Pun way too soon. His "Capital Punishment" and "Yeeah Baby" albums are bonafide Hip Hop classics.
@josef abek fym?
@josef abek still a good album
What was so groundbreaking about yeah baby for it to be considered a classic? Capital punishment is a classic not yeah baby
💯💯💯💯
@@raymonddaisy2538 agree
Everybody talk bout big and pac.. where's pun and L in the convo? Pun and L don't get the credit they deserve, period.
gus dee idk about pac but BIG got em all nobody can beat his lyricism combined with flow and charisma point blank
They all deserve to be in top 5 but pac is number 1 he's got the catalog where as the rest have 2 or 3 albums and half of them after death
Gone to soon
D'Mario FB lyricism it’s not even close stop. PAC got the charism true but technical skill big, L, and pun got it
That’s because they never got the chance to be mainstream stupid Tupac and biggie already sold millions when they died
I really respect Cuban you can tell he actually cares about people and is a real dude also never lies in his stories to make himself or his people look better
You can see it in his eyes he was ready to break talking about Puns death. That's real loyalty dude had mad love for brother.
Nexy
Still bump pun to this day
facts till i die #RipPun
Aaron OutterCooch you also 40 at your mom's house corny ass nigga.
DMGSPM My nigga.. Much respect
Alan Johnson I'm sure you're a mumble rapper fan my nigga lol
Alan Johnson lmao I Bet all your klothes and Basikally everything you owned is Bought from your Parents 💀
Cuban is right when you loss somebody that you love something into you dies with it
Yeah that’s true. When my best friend died about 10 years ago I fell to my knees when I found out. Never felt that kind of grief before. And I had just gone through a traumatic experience myself.

But I am grateful that I got to see him that one last time and it was a beautiful day we were sitting outback in the sun just talking. He was so happy I was still alive and I was so happy to see him again.
so much respect for Cuban and his sensitivity and depth perception. Love his energy and the way he communicates his feelings.
Sad Big Pun wasn't hear for the Reggaeton Era in the Mid 2000's. He would have made some dope songs for that time(had he kept his weight together tho).
diesel101raw oh hell no, reggaeton was the top ten worst musical genres of all time, next to nu metal.
Agent Brains You maaaaaad

Big Pun appear in 'Boricua Guerrero' with Mexicano and Fat Joe, it was the "underground" era here in Puerto Rico, before reggaetón and way better.
The pain in his voice..Real loyalty
I could feel his pain. You can see it in his eyes. As a matter of fact anyone that has lost a great friend. Could understand what he's feeling.
Loss my Bro to heart failure recently. I really identified with Link’s loss. Brought me to tears 🙏🏽❤️
My he rest In Peace
Lost my pops to heart failure and that whole process man I wouldn't wish it on anyone..prayers to those on a similar situation
Lost my mom to it, I definitely get it. Sorry for your loss
You Can See in His Eyes He Has Love For Pun!!!
RiP Big PUN. Greatest Latino rapper there ever was, definitely.

The Prince Markee Dee from the Fat Boys did a lot for the Boricuas.
@@charlesriveraemail yes yes
R.i.p pun.... cuban link a real dude too really loyal and thas rare these days
Cuban link is a dope ass name
ethan a FACTS
Not much when you're Cuban
Mc Grady why?
Facts
Cuban link was the name of a chain link that was the shit in the 90's. If you had a Cuban link chain you was doing it baby!
Capital Punishment will always be in my top 5 greatest hip hop albums of all time. Cuban Link was super lyrical close to pun on there man.
Adrian JSon
Link was nor hot, facts. But a great person.
Link was the closest in Terror Squad lyrically to Pun, dude is mad underrated.
TheLWebb100 forreal. listen to toe to toe
TheLWebb100 Prospect was pretty lyrical as well
This dude really had love for pun u can see the pain in his eyes when he speaks bout pun
they said pun was stubborn when it came to his weight loss
yep.
Tha Taurus whos they?
Keith also he would get upset bout being told what to do when he came to North Carolina to workout he didn't really enjoy it
look like ronny from jersey shore
Tha Taurus he went to a fat camp and lost like 100lbs but he put it back on plus even more when he came out
Pun the most underrated rapper to this day , one of the greatest , rip
Pun wasn't underrated bro, everyone knew then and everyone knows now that Big P. was (is) the shit...The one who was really underrated was my nigga Cuban.
ThreeFiveTwo Games he isn't underrated in my opinion
@@reggiemiller2543 I agree with your statement 100%. Peace Brother from Texas. 🙏✊🤝🤜🤛✌

I bugged out when he said he looked at Pun as a Super Hero. That's ill. I've known a few people I looked at that way. *IT AFFECTS YOU TWICE AS MUCH WHEN YOU'RE FORCED TO REALIZE THAT THEY'RE MORTAL.
I wish Cuban would of really got a shot not just underground he's a real dope lyricist he's the most underated NY rapper ever.
MrMilzkillz so dope!!
100%

Cuban Link is REAL. Great story teller. I love these interviews

WONDERFUL INTERVIEW! 💯 & BIG PUN TURN OUT BEING MY FAVORITE RAPPER 🙌🏽 R.I.P🤦🏽♂️
cuban link look like latin jerseyshore XD
yea now he do...he need to get it together 😆🤣😂
LOLOLOL I thought the same thing!
🤣
Yeah buddy!! 😂😂😂😂
Italians, Latins, niggas, we all got the same style sometimes 😂
you can see the pain in his eyes man
Cuban link is a real friend for letting pun know about his self
REALTALK
pun really made me understand that no matter our color we all brothers and we all have the gift of hip hop in our hearts those who have the dream of being an artist..anyway RIP Pun ..your kids doing they thing God bless.
proud of you b. you have grown so much. God bless you and yours.......
You could see by Cuban’s face he wanted to cry, I don’t blame him tbh, R.I.P. Pun I love you bro
Cuban is the only 1 who kept puns name alive... Big moon dawg rest in peace... Gone but never forgotten
but it was never the same again.
Respect to this cat right here. Very underrated.
His eyes looks glassy like he's going to cry!!
Kathrina Hall- Williams Well he is talking about his best friend dying...
Love for your brother never dies, no matter what happens to our mortal bodies.
Cuban Link is a loyal man and full of love.
Wow, Cuban Links is deep. Shit brought tears to my eyes. Best VladTv interview I’ve seen.
i still luv big pun and his music....forever
Cuban Link was Pun real homie.he wasn't a yes man
that energy bit link speaks on is so real and you don't really understand it till you experience it. rip and much love
Pun and Biggie was my favorites, but Pun never got the cred he deserved. his delivery was ahead of his time.
That first solo Pun and first Terror Squad albums were undeniable classics.
Cuban Link didn't show Tony Sunshine shade in this video at all especially compared to Tony Sunshine showing shade on some "The other guy" or "I'm not gonna say his name Vlad" type BS.
My boy KD Swagger Chiming In
@@WillieGee1970 My guy!
You can see the love he had for him. Loyalty like this is hard to come by
damn this guy s tears is what kills me. he really was trying to help big pun, and all that these industry cancers did, was helping pun to an early death, while the same industry cancers be countin the money pun made for them.
rip pun
I remember an interview on MTV with TS at circa '99" , Everybody on the set spoke except Pun. He never spoke, he was droopy-faced looking like he was about to pass out right then and there. I knew something was wrong.
Might have been.
A bit, not as much as I felt they should have been but Pun definitely had some buzz in mainstream entertainment.
Capital Punishment was 1 of the top 10 rap albums of all time
RIP TO THE LEGEND
Pun was a legend, it would have been good if he turned his life around and got healthy. Who knows how many more hits we would have got...
cuban and pun....their strong as platinum steel brother bond was and STILL IS one of the main reasons for a lot of jealousy within the terror squad. i been following terror squad for a while now basically bc they all are from where IM from and STILL live. after PUN passed, a lot of craziness happened. its like damn...just imagine if he didn't pass so soon smh
I know how it feels to lose someone that is so close to you.
The hurt in Links eyes is unreal. 😢 He really loved Pun.
Tony Sunshine looks like he has been drinking way too much red Kool-Aid.
Thank you for sharing your story...
Black & Brown is beautiful 💯💯
"Off the books" is one of my best songs of all time... fly high Big Pun 🕊 🙏🏽 🕊
that pain. its real.
this was a really good part to the interview
I remember being on the bus heading to work hearing about his passing🕊sad
"When you lose somebody when you lose their energy their physical, is like you die yourself" damn bro that hit hard
I recently looked at the the first generation TS records and I can say that they were actually dope.
The Hidden Hand
Glamour Life
Triplets
No One Prospect was hella dope, he was def one of the best in TS
travisotakunarutofan facts
Ts had many good artists on their lable. Armageddon was also dope. Not to forget that both DJ Khaled and Cool & Dre were signed to TS too.
PyroCham all of them were dope mc's, exepct joe 😂 all his shit was written by other ppl. but in your opinion who the best besides Pun
Joe's wrote his own lyrics, but later on he did have his ghost-writers. Pun was the main reason why I started listening to Joe. After "J.O.S.E." he had lost his touch. As far as best besides Pun. I'd say it would be either Prospect or Triple Seis. It's a shame neither of them has an album and only featured on several tracks of Pun and Joe. I always thought Remy Ma was dope too. Her debut album could've been better though and was long overdue as well.
I didn't expect for this to make me so sad.RIP Pun.
i have to be from the bronx or sum shit to get the feel of this cuban link guy.... but i do remember these atl streets playing big pun
Hell yeah, I'm from the "A" I bumped that Big Pun "Capital Punishment" album until I had to buy a new cd, Lol along with my "Outkast" album "Aquemi" and that Fat Joe album "Don Cartagena" the "Terror Squad" definitely had a movement going
hell yeah... Especially that dam lean back lol..
i do... lmao...
im still human Joey Diaz👊👊👊👊
I don't throw jabs, I throw lawyer's fee...
R.I.P Big Pun - one of the greatest music artists to ever do it 💯
Doctor Xavier I'm Dead ASF 🤣🤣🤣😂!!! Shout out to Professor X
Man yeahh baby was such a great time period in life.....loved "its so hard" and "100 percent"....thanks for the memories pun
Vlad is so cold on his question transitioning after someone just poured their heart out in a response 😣
Vlad ain't no therapist.
RIP Pun, big S/O to Cuban Link.
I love Pun but I hope the future episodes focus more on Cuban and his journey after the PUN/TS era.
I like this guy. He comes off as genuine. I was incarcerated during his time. He seems like a real Vato who still has love for his deceased Brother. I can see the pain in his eyes when he reminisces about his Homie. I recognize his pain and I can relate to it. Shout out to Cuban and Pun's Crew and Family. I like Chris Rivers flow also. The dude is representing his Father's name well.
Edit:
Rest in Eternal Peace Big Pun. You opened doors for Latinos coming into Hip Hop. You are missed and remembered my Guy! 🙏✊
