Pun really said "Hit em with a thousand pounds of pressure per slap, Make his whole body jerk back, Watch the earth crack , hand em his purse back" 🤣 straight🔥🔥
It obviously would be legendary to have on tape or video but end of the day it’s not all about recording everything, as long as it happened and the top g’s remember it’s all good.
Miguel Soto Diamond is the highest when you sell 10million+ Outkast got it for Love below/speakerboxx for example. So watch your mouth before commenting...dumbass.
I can NEVER understand Why Pun is NEVER brought up in any Top 5 DOA conversations. The man was lyrically insane not to mention 400 pounds. You know how hard it is to spit like that at 400 pounds.
this is basically the freshmen cypher of 98'....now go watch the xxl freshmen cyphers from the past decade without throwing your phone out the window crying tears of disbelief, feelin' disturbed by the lack of skill in todays rappers
Pun opened himself up to a diss on that one. Only thing he ever smacked was his lips. Don't know why he's talkin about physical violence. Only workout he did that entire year was standing up.
In a room full of lions, Kings, line for liners, Bar-smiths, and True M.C.'s, Big Punisher wrecked this freestyle circle, truly a beautiful thing to see.
Man, RIP PUN and X. Literally two of the e greatest rappers of Alltime. All these brothers get mentioned at some point in the story of hip hop. I appreciate Irv being a part of hip hop glory. He was a fan and a taste maker of the genre.
@@marcust6479 he wasnt the best out of all these dudes in the cypher in my opinion, but he definitely brought that raw energy and cadence. Rip to Dark Man X.
As soon as he started rapping he commanded the attention energy of the whole room, they all shutup to listen instantly DMX always looks like ghost rider when he starts rapping to me. I see he flesh peeled back and his skull is engulfed in flames
Canibus wouldn’t be able to say that eating line in this era without everyone saying “pause, sus, no homo” back then we didnt take that line as literally we took it as a metaphor
Not even a metaphor with the ass part "a niggas ass" as in his person so the line is "you don't have the skills to eat a man alive". I think most people would get it but it still sounds sus no matter whether you know or not 😂
Look close at 01:23 the dap was given but blocked by the glass Def drank from. And I thought for the longest the Punisher had been disrespected! Makes sense he wasn't he might have made a scene lol!
Legendary doesn't even do justice to describe the level of lyrical genius at that table. Some of the best rappers to ever do it. RIP Big Pun, best latin lyricist of all time. RIP DMX, hardest, realest NY rapper of all time. 👑

Big L Just listened to Alphabetic Slaughter and it sounded forced. Wouldn't listen to it twice. Papoose is OK but everyone telling you Pun is way better is dead right. I'd rather hear white girls rhyming Alphabet Aerobics than Alphabetical Slaughter rhymed by Papoose.
Mad respect Mic G. He indeed ws the only one 2 drop frm the dome in this cypher. Takes nothing away though from the fact of the greatness of what has been captured here for posterity. This is an epic moment.
Notes: - Pun though? “I blow my own mind like Nirvana.” ….killed it! - Canibus was nice too, few good shots towards L. - something about X you could just tell he was special and had star power early on. - mos def was always nice
DMX rapped a verse from Ain't No Way, Pun from Dream Shatterer, Mos Def from RE:Definition, and Canibus from Second Round Knockout, only Mic Geronimo did it off the top of the dome. But regardless people forget that the original definition of a freestyle verse is a random 16 bar verse, not necessarily off the top.
I'm the beginning of the video they all agree to spit a random 16 . Only the Persian who uploaded the video made it seem like they were spitting freestyles
This video is so epic, everyone's style is so different. The diversity in the game back then is what made hip hop so good. They all come with it.

Then Dmx with a crazy aggressive style, the other homie with the freestyle, Pun with the fire scorching the table and Canibus with the LL Cool J diss! I love this video
Legendary moment…all lyrically heavy but in my opinion Big Pun and Canibus was above all others at this table. Pun passed too early unfortunately and Canibus ‘98 was god those was there know the hype around him was real. Of course that debut album wasn’t what I was expecting it was all over the place…Canibus delivered better albums later but many left him after that flawed debut sadly. Also it’s obvious Canibus was like…damn THE PUNISHER freaking took it 😂 mutual respect but Pun was still new here and wasn’t going to let this moment pass by…there is no such thing as shooting for second place 😂 there can only be ONE.
@@realpoetics even though Canibus was blackballed by the industry in his later years. ‘Bis smokes Mos Def by miles…I’m aware Mos is a poet and whatnot but he’s just not touching ‘Bis. Even on a bad day but it’s cool a difference of opinion nothing wrong with that.

@@ILoveTheAllCreator This is such an old discussion in rap. Most listeners already understand that a 'freestyle' doesn't necessarily mean the top of the dome. Canibus spit a written too. Are you going to hold that against him too?

Dawg when pun started spittin you start hearing real reactions from everyone else in the room. You can tell niggas really respected one another back then
@Groovy J biggie was not a better artist, nor a better storyteller. besides he rapped shit he wasnt living, aka the ultimate fake. fuck outta here. canibus shits on litterally everybody, including pun. canibus was and still is ahead of his time. he got intergalactical secrets for us, heis not getting caught up in politics unlike pac. he is not living a lie unlike big. his vocab is unmatched, his lyricism is unmatched. he just got blackballed so the industry can push fake rappers like ll cool j, eminem etc. biggie and pac are trash in comparison. get off that dick bro listen to secrets amongst cosmonauts. that is the truth. channel zero, taht is the truth. neither pac nor big could come up with factualy stories like this, mixed with lyricism wordplay and an insane vocab like canibus. the truth hurts i know, but dont tell me big was better. thats the biggest joke ever.
genius. Is the REAL hip hop, when you catch a Cypher freestyle, out the blue, "intelligent street heads", no video sets, written bars, just the raw soul. 🔥🔥🔥💯💯💯💯
they were both the best around at that time, thats why pun never said shit when canibus said he had the right to anchor. also felt that pun was a bit jealous after canibus dropped his bars. canibus was coming with that raw hardcore shit, military lines (run 20 miles on soft sand) . pun still absolutely amazing though.
@Stephen ssr&rtv2019 so? he admitted he lost. then he pulled the notepad out. stop crying like a little bitch over that shit . bis still the goat. no one wins every battle they are in. eminem couldnt even beat ja rule. nuff said. everyone takes a l left and right. no biggie, canibus was man enough to admit he lost. and to be honest he didnt even lose, all dizaster did was exactly what eminem did, copying canibus style and mocking it. pure trash.
Hip hop is so beautiful, they were just friends chilling and having fun while freestyling. It's so nice to see the union that Hip hop makes. I've been just like that with a couple of friends gathered and freestyling to a beat. Only thing missing here was a beat.
@@jbarral6509 Yeah there was a lot of violence. But rappers were usually pretty chill and weren't really shooting each other then. It was mostly dope boys, robbers, and gangs. Nowadays, rappers kill people to PRETEND to be in gangs or sell drugs. Rappers in that era were largely rappers because they didn't want that kinda lifestyle. There are exceptions but it really wasn't until about the mid 2000s that rappers created the persona of drug kingpin and gang member and things got heated. My point is that rappers were mostly CELEBRATED in their hoods. Their existence alone would unite whole communities, just like Biggie did in NYC. Now, they get killed by random weirdos looking for attention on Instagram.
@@jbarral6509 Of course, that always been there and always will, I prefer to focus on the positive and stuff. Though I love all kinds of hip hop, gansta or not. As long as is old schoold, bc that's my shit. I barely listen to newer shit.
@@UncleSwell707 You're right. They're speaking with a completely different tongue and nearly 0 articulation. I could be completely wrong, let's see how many of their songs will be played 15+ years from now compared to Dr. Dre, E-40, Eminem, Snoop, 50 Cent, Kanye, Jay-Z.

DMX reacting to Cannabus verse is one of the best things I've ever seen from a GOAT mc to another GOAT mc, DMX was an example of a humble human being.
Dawg when pun started spittin you start hearing real reactions from everyone else in the room. You can tell niggas really respected one another back then
Everyone there is niggas
all men in that building
Big Pun had the same lyrical level as B.I.G. except Pun was beyond underrated.. change my mind.
Retro_Zombie79
Pun was better
both pun and canibus are waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay above big or pac. fuck outta here. biggie and pac were playground rappers in comparison to them
pun is criminally underrated
@Buns Loco lyrically it's not close. Compare any song
@Groovy J biggie was not a better artist, nor a better storyteller. besides he rapped shit he wasnt living, aka the ultimate fake. fuck outta here. canibus shits on litterally everybody, including pun. canibus was and still is ahead of his time. he got intergalactical secrets for us, heis not getting caught up in politics unlike pac. he is not living a lie unlike big.
his vocab is unmatched, his lyricism is unmatched. he just got blackballed so the industry can push fake rappers like ll cool j, eminem etc.
biggie and pac are trash in comparison. get off that dick bro
listen to secrets amongst cosmonauts. that is the truth. channel zero, taht is the truth. neither pac nor big could come up with factualy stories like this, mixed with lyricism wordplay and an insane vocab like canibus.
the truth hurts i know, but dont tell me big was better. thats the biggest joke ever.
genius. Is the REAL hip hop, when you catch a Cypher freestyle, out the blue, "intelligent street heads", no video sets, written bars, just the raw soul. 🔥🔥🔥💯💯💯💯
I was checking for big pun and mos def !
Neither disappointed!!
Big Pun killed it! What a dam beast! Representing for all my Latinos! What a talent!!!
"I deserve the right to anchor"
And then you realize Pun was the best alive at the time.
they were both the best around at that time, thats why pun never said shit when canibus said he had the right to anchor. also felt that pun was a bit jealous after canibus dropped his bars. canibus was coming with that raw hardcore shit, military lines (run 20 miles on soft sand) . pun still absolutely amazing though.
@Stephen ssr&rtv2019 so? he admitted he lost. then he pulled the notepad out. stop crying like a little bitch over that shit . bis still the goat. no one wins every battle they are in. eminem couldnt even beat ja rule. nuff said. everyone takes a l left and right. no biggie, canibus was man enough to admit he lost. and to be honest he didnt even lose, all dizaster did was exactly what eminem did, copying canibus style and mocking it. pure trash.
@@deathrager2404 Canibus wanted the anchor because he spit the dis track for LL Cool J who he was beefing with at the time.
He wanted the end it with the LL Cool J dis lyrics.
@Stephen ssr&rtv2020 probably just didn't want to reach across the table lol
Mic Geronimo was the only to freestyle. RIP PUN 🐐
Power in Truth underrated, puffy destroyed his career, Geronimo was the truth at one point
@Omnipresent One "the green eye bandit" is Eric Sermon, not Keith Murray
Mic Geronimo sounded like prodigy from mobb deep. U can hear it.
@@johnmoyarbmg5845 he hard
Never see a cypher like this AGAIN gods flows
BIG PUN R.I.P a super legend in rap history, his mind and flow is from another planet, super lyrical.
Rest in peace pun we miss u big bro..
RIP to two legends; Big Pun and DMX
Big Pun the greatest RIP
What year is this?... lemme know.
Who is that guy at the end in the corner,he kinda looks like biggie or he is biggie idk
1997
It was 98. Thats why he said i sampled u to canibus on his album capital punishment
@Well Rounded it was he said "sample that" and his eyes wouldn't be so concentrated if it was a written
My favorite hip hop cypher ever in hip hop history there will never be another hip hop cypher like this nowadays
Pure, unadulterated classic hip-hop that was in the cipher! RIP to our fallen soldiers- Hip-Hop Artists. One.
"sometimes rhyming i blow my own mind like nirvana" PUN was unreal so many ill bars
Smells like teen....
Canibus was dissing L.L. Cool J.
Full of puns
DMX put it on life support but Punisher killed it
DMX's was nothing special. He's not a lyricist.
wunas96
Dumb-ass nigga you're sorry ass probably only listens to DMX mainstream shit
wunas96 yes he is
Jacob Santos what about John forte?
I love DMX now and my comment was just a reflection of what I thought at the time, but as you called me dumb, I feel I owe you *your.
Nothing but skill and love at the table.
Priceless cypher Timeless ✨🙏🏽🌞🙏🏽✨
Hip hop is so beautiful, they were just friends chilling and having fun while freestyling. It's so nice to see the union that Hip hop makes. I've been just like that with a couple of friends gathered and freestyling to a beat. Only thing missing here was a beat.
Yeah there was also shootings back then and it was very much hell
@@jbarral6509 Yeah there was a lot of violence. But rappers were usually pretty chill and weren't really shooting each other then. It was mostly dope boys, robbers, and gangs. Nowadays, rappers kill people to PRETEND to be in gangs or sell drugs. Rappers in that era were largely rappers because they didn't want that kinda lifestyle. There are exceptions but it really wasn't until about the mid 2000s that rappers created the persona of drug kingpin and gang member and things got heated.
My point is that rappers were mostly CELEBRATED in their hoods. Their existence alone would unite whole communities, just like Biggie did in NYC. Now, they get killed by random weirdos looking for attention on Instagram.
Beat or not if you can freestyle you can freestyle
@@jbarral6509 Of course, that always been there and always will, I prefer to focus on the positive and stuff. Though I love all kinds of hip hop, gansta or not. As long as is old schoold, bc that's my shit. I barely listen to newer shit.
@@rajbhattacharya4427 those personas you are referring to were created way before the mid 2000's.
RIP Big Pun. Hope your having good rap battles with Biggie Tupac and BigL in heaven.
MaIumaVEVO they wouldn't battle each other tho, it'd be a friendly cypher just like this
MaIumaVEVO Straight up.
Big L went to hell
Guy Fieri My nigga chill
Ta’Ron Jordan hes right Big L said hes the devils son
Look at this round table of legends. Now imagine the rap ‘heroes’ right now like Lil Uzi Vert, Future, Lil Durk, Young Thug, Lil Baby…
You wouldn’t understand 85% of their words without subtitles.
@@UncleSwell707 You're right. They're speaking with a completely different tongue and nearly 0 articulation.
I could be completely wrong, let's see how many of their songs will be played 15+ years from now compared to Dr. Dre, E-40, Eminem, Snoop, 50 Cent, Kanye, Jay-Z.
This footage is a gem 💎
good to see canibus remembering his lines
lmao
+Eleazar Oliva lmfaoo, but canibus still better tho lol...
+Eye FACT
😂
Not hating on pun but he did the same thing
1:21 They left my guy Big Pun hanging
Old Sport no he didnt look again the cup blocked ya view
I saw that
😜
Yeah they sleep on you till they hear you spit
@@untouchableMCs yes he did he definitely did not shake his hand
Hip Hop needs more Cyph sessions like this today
So happy someone recorded this! Youngins nowadays have no idea what true lyricist are nowadays !
Ikr facts
Big pun the best Latin rapper ever, from the Bronx. Rest in peace Puerto Rican Latino King
Makaveli The Don, And Daddy Yankee that is the greatest latino rapper of all time? Jajajaja
Juan Rolon no in Puerto Rico a Mc named tempo is known to be the greatest off all time # 2 spot go to don Omar #3 tego Calderon lyrically
MARXO BETTIE, nice joke 👍🏻
Big Pun is the greatest period.
MARXO BETTIE Renee from Calle 13 is up there too. Tego is the king though hands down
Heavy competition but undeniable love and respect all around. This is what hiphop should be
Exactly
this was dope af. a grainy glance back in time.
Fucking Legendary. This whole freestyle cypher was a game of Chess
each rapper have their own voice an flow.. if this was today you would think you were hearing the same rapper on repeat
no bullshyt amen
FR!!!
Voice of Insight imagine Jermaine dupri at this table?
So true
I’m just upset not one person had lil in front of their name
This is when it was more about lyricism. Lyricism was the glue bonding this rappers together...
This is a gem 💎
Damn. Shit like this b makin me teary eyed. To see other goats reacting to each other is powerful man.
