BEFORE BIG PUN would drop the lyrics: ‘I’m Not a Player I just F**K A Lot’
Before BIG PUNISHER would team up with other artists including Fat Joe, Jennifer Lopez & Busta Rhymes.
Before Big Pun broke sale records becoming the first solo Latino performer to ever go platinum in Hip Hop.
Before BIG PUN’s struggle with weight gain had him balloon up to almost 700 pounds after at one time where he only weighed 180.
Before BIG PUN would collapse in front of his family at a hotel in New York at the age of just 28.
Raised in the Bronx by Puerto Rican parents who struggled with drug abuse, Christopher Lee Rios left home and dropped out of high school at 15, he was not only homeless at this time but also a young father. He picked up an interest in breakdancing and rapping and was actually the school quite athlete. He married his high school sweetheart and with money hard to come by and a baby to feed he turned to food to help cope with the pressures of life. Throughout this he would continue to focus on his musical interests and developed for himself a unique flow and would often showcase his Puerto Rican pride, and killer sense of humour. His talent was soon discovered by fellow Bronx rapper Fat Joe. The duo was larger than life and Big Pun found success quickly not only within the Latino community but throughout America. But the pressures of fame and access to money only fuelled his food addiction and his weight sky-rocketed to a point where Fat Joe had to call him out on it & when a guy known as Fat Joe is checking you about your weight you know things are serious.
My name is Michael McCrudden documenting the life and career of Big Pun, before his passing, here for you on Before They Were Dead.

big pun skinny looked like one of those real gangsters that moves in a suit, a real mafia type a character.
MrJJtheboss he would be the most hood one
Handsome
Roger that.
The smaller him kinda reminds me of Al B sure back in the day!! Big Pun was handsome!!
If pun was still alive he would be tossing these weak new rappers off stage everyday.
He was doing that to a few "rap legends" back in the day...lol
Dave V absolutely these sound cloud “rappers” of today
Like he beat his wife. What a loser
FACTS ,alotta rappers , ALOTTA rapper wouldnt a had career if PUN was still here , skkraight up Y0!
@@stevenw8538 we talkin bout his rapping skill, you just a hater
He's disrespecting the shit out of big pun.... anyone here did not notice that ?
Terry Boyd Yea! Especially when he brings up Nicole Arbour, like it's some kind of joke that he died of obesity.
Terry Boyd yeah. "Typical white boy shit" what else is new in america today?
I did, I hope someone runs up on Michael
Pun disrespected himself by being 700 lbs
@@alexanderkrhee he's from Canada.
It’s crazy seeing Pun without all that weight
He was like the Latino version of Notorious B.I.G
Nah dog he was way different. Two completely different styles. But I respect your point.
Pun was his own man
Teddybonkers 33 i think they were quite similar. they had nearly identical flows and similar lyrical tendencies
Big Smoke ?? Have you listened to Pun and B.I.G? Totally different
Luis Gabriel-Melendez yep. not that different. their rhyme schemes even match on a few songs which is rare
He made Puerto Ricans and Blacks love each other more! I miss him.
Anane Mbaye dumb ass comment ever.
Your obsessed chill
🖤 Emo Forever 🖤 bruh u ain’t even use correct grammar dumbass
🖤 Emo Forever 🖤 dumbass person ever
Afro Latinos should get along with blacks they have black in their DNA anyway ..how are you racist against what’s in your blood . Most Puerto Rican’s don’t even know what ethnic groups they are made of smh
Mad disrespectful in a few spots. Not even cool.
PLEX504 shame
I agree
Yeah wasn’t feeling that
Then why watch the video and comment? Smh Do you not realize that you're just bringing traffic to his page, therefore making him money? 😂😂
Facts
Upset with the inappropriate cuts in this video. Guy died from being too big. No need for the fat jokes(guy with the burger). Its actually extremely disrespectful and pissed me off. He represents a lot for the Hip Hop community and is EVERYTHING to the Latin community. You shouldn't edit in non sense clips into the your "Dead" categories. Especially if they are considered a GOAT type of individual.
Look into his community work instead of "Fat Shaming" him the whole time.
Im fan of your videos. But f this1. I will never watch it again. smh
Panama Red Well said! He's so disrespectful to one of the goats.
Mikkel Zeeberg Christensen I got a little too heated "at the time. But i stand by the words. Disrespecting the dead is never a good route to go. smh
Panama Red I would say that it was a fair reaction. Especially when he brings up Nicole Abour. That is just plain disrespect, no matter what.
Doesn't matter if he's a GOAT he's mad disrespectful
Panama Red stfu
I really wish Big Pun would have recorded more music before he died like 2pac did.
2 PAC still makes music he is living in cuba
anime episode9 where did you find this out??? I believe it too.
anime episode9 they said he was having breathing problems while recording music and he had to rest on a bed in the studio
Well we cant bring them back we die for a reason fml
Tupac was too wise man
R.I.P Christopher Rios (1971-2000), rapper better known by his stage name Big Pun, first Latino rapper to attain Platinum sales.🌴🌊✨
No era el primero estupido
I dont think it's funny how u making fat jokes on his video P.I.P BIG PUN🙏🏽🙏🏽
Timothy Fludd what fat joke?
3:32 💀
Fat Joe wanted to "have a heart to heart with him before his heart exploded." That's one. You can see it in his body language and overall smugness during that part.
👀😁
@@jaypadlo7284 they person with the burger or taco and the Nicole arbour joke
2:16 ruined the whole video with that get popped joke dont joke about a dead man especially pun
Homeboy is feeling himself too much smh
RIP to one of the Best rappers of all time! Rest In Paradise Big Pun 🙏 👌
***** That's a really ignorant comment.. Have some respect for the dead.. I could see If he was alive, maybe make fun of him then but the man died. Don't be so inconsiderate smh
Shanice Almeida. True, i love pun
my favorite rapper
Pun was an abusive dude. Give respect where respect is due, he used to beat the fuck out of his wife, even pistol whip her in his own security cameras. Do some research before you say people deserve respect. You don't do that to the mother of your children. No matter WHAT
Max Jamieson nigga STFU. That never happened. Your just a jealous kid.
Big Pun was fine af before the weight gain, damn lol
True, I'm no Homo though. He looked better than me when he was slim and I am good looking.
they talk about big pun size more than his life disgraceful video
for some it's alcohol, for some it's drugs, for pun it was food.
Die hard knicks Fan since the 90s yea but did he know he used to beat his wife....what kinda man do that?
MissTenay H.G Jason kidd beat his wife to the point where she *peed* blood, ray rice beat his wife, pretty much most celebs beat their closest friends, whether it was over a small argument, or cheating rumors, they'd beat them, we don't know why else pun abused her.
Word up
We all have our addiction...Mine is I.S.R ill nana.
Alcohol is drugs
22 years later and we are still bumping big pun man if only he could see how far the Latino community has come
He's seeing it from the other realm
The song that REALLY put Big Pun on the map with the HipHop community was his part with The Beatnuts called "Off The Books!" HE STOLE EVERYONE'S ATTENTION from the rest of the crew!!!
it was actually "drop it heavy" with krs-one...that verse is considered a hip hop classic verse
he had that fire water with raekwon that was fire and it came before, but tha beat nuts shit fiyahhhh!!!!
+Johnny St.Louis nah off the books was more popular
Facts
ITS OFF THE BOOKS THIS YEAR
Rest in Peace Big Pun.
should make a movie about Big Pun
Rey Vargas 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽 hopefully one day
R. V. Dominic Santana should played Big pun
He isn’t talked about as much as biggie and pac kind of sucks I would like to see that
They did it's called the blob
@@samuellujan7525 that movie was about your mother, not him. You think you got mixed up bro.
Nas before he was famous

agreed
+jeremey fernandez yessssss!
PUN was AMAZING and NOBODY can ever touch him!! Lyrically he was sick and when you have someone like Nas who idolizes you and respects TF outta you, you know that you have extreme Talent!!!!
Facts!
Making fun of his addiction like that was rude af.
RIP Big Pun. One of the most under rated rappers ever. #CheesedoodlesGrapeSoda🇵🇷🗽

+jesus cabrera About to smack someone
Shits crazy bro
+H. Jules i was happy he did this til i saw it..shits fucked up..plain direspect
+jinglenutz87 ppl who care about or have respect for this man or ppl who passed away should ask this man to apologize in one of his videos. this shit isn't right man
jesus cabrera I noticed smh.
I'm Puerto Rican and I always be a big pun this forever
I'm from planet Earth and I will not be a big fan.
Unsub from this trash channel boricua
It fuckin crazy how he died in the same hospital I was born in a year later holy shit. RIP BIG PUN!
He actually died literally a week before I was conceived Lmao. I was born in November 2000
Big Pun is so underrated, his definitely in my top 10 best lyricist of all times!
Big Pun was and still is one of the best rappers ever born. Rest easy Pun.
just a lil upset that their making fun of the food situation....not really funny...rip Big Pun #idol one of the reasons I rap
damn wish u had no reason to rap, shits trash
@Mike Harris it was his way to cope with depression, just like other people cut themselves, drink, or do drugs. he also used to do enough sports and dancing to burn the calories. i feel pity for anyone who dies at a young age. well, almost anybody. but he died the day before his liposuction surgery, and he got pulled out of his weight loss camp. its not like the dude didnt try.
@@artier5407 that made me laugh, but that's fucked up.
I wish he would of got weight loss surgery. He was very attractive.
R.I.P
He was full of lyrics 😌
Lone Wanderer you are definitely right. He was full of lyrics.
Bryan O Connor these miserable internet trolls are so mad today, especially when you ignore them. Lol..
terry jay
Dildo Cumfart lmao when he didn't mention YOU but YOU wrote back forsure your mad 💀💀💀💀💀💀
R.I.P brotha. one of my favorite's 💯
Big Pun is the greatest lyricist of all time. He was absolutely insane!!!
Big Pun is one of my favorite rappers, I also suggest listening to krino he might be my number one pick!

Ill be that. But you know exactly what im talking about.
+Baylien 💯
definition of a dumb ass
painfully? do you know what the pr history is?
even though big pun is gone, his lyrics will always be with us. he will always be a player
all the greats man of rap are gone man Tupac, Biggie, Eazy-E, Big L, & Big Pun man The Godfathers R.I.P. now making music in Heaven
Lone Wolf chances are you never heard of Big L till he died. nor probably big pun or Eazy E. you just mention these people because they are dead rappers. there are still legends around. Jay Z, big daddy kane, nas, Slick Rick, Busta Rhymes, snoop dog, Eminem, KRS one, Ice Cube and DR Dre.
But these are alive, so fuck em right?
Bob Digi Well Sir I meant that guys like Tupac, Biggie Smalls, Eazy-E, Big Pun, & Big L were gone from this earth before their time thats what I meant cuz you know the only album Big L made himself was back in 1996 before his death and Eazy-E shouldn't have died the way he did yeh there's still legends now like Rakim, Big Daddy Kane, Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg And Ice Cube its great their still here but those guys shouldn't have been taken from us because they had so much more to do with the music industry but now it is what it is that's what I meant when I said what I said
If they are they're performing the G rated versions of their songs, also they're not abusing Ho's.
Bob Digi you forgot 50,I'm disappointed
Idk about heaven...but yep.
big pun was a Latin king
king killers out there
Stupid bitch
Fuck Latin king
this reporters voice sounds very condescending.
He's white
best rapper to ever do it have some respect‼️
man is a legend. RIP PUN!
Same with pac and biggie
One of the most lyrical artists and underrated! Love this dude, still sad he died so young just because he could've made more good music. RIP to the Legend!!
Lol fat joe says “ Kentucky fried chicken 🍗 was talking to him” I love fat joe n big punn thou ♥️
Big Pun for ever! every millennium a child is born that can perform at a level beyond! 4 real!

MAC MUFUCKN DRE!

mac dre!
"Genie In The Lamp" lol!! He's Da Man. "Multicultural Hot Vocals, Everywhere I go I Get Love From The Locals" Mac Dreezy all day son.
Big Pun was also living out his raps. It would've been interesting if you included more stories about his criminal activities, his tumultuous relationship with his wife, and then ended with a shout out to his son, Chris Rivers, who carries on his rap legacy.
RIP Big Pun sad story💔😭
He is like the Puerto Rican version of b.i.g notorious. For being a great rapper, comedian in life, and a gangster.
this video is really disrespecting big pun by maken spoofs about his over eating habits some one should make him pay for this
ice burge slim the d.o.n fr this white nigga lucky
For what ,the man is only being honest, u know how much people watching that this could help,,y'all urban Americans are too damn sensitive and aggressive, violence is not the answer to every disagreement.smh
i was just gonna say the same thing ....
Mark Watson White America is the biggest hot-spot of sensitivity. 😂
Yet, here you guys are making comments and watching it. It's like bitching about McD's, while eating two BigMacs. The dude literally acts the same way whether it's a black guy or white guy. Smh
Do left eye!, Thanks!

+Jose Enriquez now u deserve w for hate oh wait......
Damn "Kentucky Fried Chicken was calling him"
Not cool
This man was over 600 lbs. Dude.
One of the most underrated rappers ever 💙
Terror Squad was a gang before it ever was a rap group and it was not ran by Joe!!! Those were Pun's homies that were in that group. They were never Joe's homies and in fact Pun ran that shit even though it was Joe's company. Why do you think it fell apart when he died and had beef with Cuban Linx and Tony Sunshine? Pun was one of the coolest people to have around and filled with joke's. He would buy dirt bikes for everyone and never did things fun by himself. He always had fun with the people he loved. But Pun had a dark side he was fighting too that many people don't know about but was evident through learning Pun and who he is. Not with just weight but other trials of his life. This man would come through the hood and show everyone love. R.I.P. Pun!!! Truly one of the best!!!
his career was damn too short
but his legacy still lives
we need more rappers like him
Seriously bro... that’s a hip hop legend that died way too early show some respect... smh
In the middle of little Italy
+Richard Smith
little did we know that we riddled some middleman who didn't do diddily

Yo I miss Big Pun. We never saw his peak. He was still on the rise when he tragically passed. Makes you wonder what could've been.
He was and is a legend. RIP pun. Miss real hiphop
Damn I didn't know he was 180. How his people let him gain 400lbs? He should still be here. R.I.P. 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾 G.O.A.T.
Gained 400lbs? No way was he 580lbs?!!
700 lbs is nearly 320 kg .. HE COULDNT BE THAT FAT,THATS IMPOSSIBLE !!!
Ddaamn ,he really was that fat,i checked in wikipedia..
i still cant believe this shit,he was killer rapper though..
They have a show solely based on people who weigh 600+ pounds who need to lose weight to be able to get a gastric bypass. There were several there that weight 700 to 900 pounds. It's really sad.
DJ_URBAN_BG it's possible my friend was 778Lbs when he died
im 245 pounds
Do meek mill before be was dead .
Before he was murdered.
+Ron- T hahahaha
Rip big pun Rest In Peace your music inspired a lot of people
R.I.P. Pun !! Never forgotten putting us on the map.
The G.O.A.T.
Pun was a phenom!!!
Capital punishment is a classic, no debating. That man could rhyme. Most artist today couldn't ever compare.
R.I.P Big Pun, in my opinion the best lyricist ever
Yo Rest In Peace to the legend Big Pun, he didn't deserve to die so young. He was such a legend and his legacy will live through his music. R.I.P. Big Punisher.
Dude had KILLA AND I MEAN KILLA FLO 🤯
