![]() Super Lyrical (featuring Black Thought)Ĥ. Pun might have had a short music career, but he sure as hell left his footprint here in the game. Even the skits are hilarious ("Pacinamac" literally had me rollin). Majority of these tracks are highly on point. Pun's lyrics shined on every song, that I still know who is reciting his lyrics till this day. It takes me back to when every guest appearance was a hot artist (especially with Wyclef). Many look at Big Punisher's debut as a landmark in hip hop music. ![]() Pun finishes the album with "Parental Discretion" with Busta Rhymes doing the hook (his signature wild screaming he was known for back in the 90's). " Tres Leches (Triboro Trilogy)" with Prodigy and Inspetah Deck is a sick cut. Towards the end there is the bragging "You Came Up" featuring Noreaga, as Pun looks back on how he came up in the rap game. Joe and Pun trade verses on the hit song "Twinz (Deep Cover '98)" which will remind listeners of an old Snoop Dogg song ("It's still 187 on an undercover cop"). My favorite song here is the original version of "I'm Not A Player" ("I'm not a player, I just **** a lot."). Pun shows he can work with the entire Terror Squad on "Glamor Life", which is also backed by some great production. Further down the album "Caribbean Connection" with Wyclef Jean is dope (hell, even Clef spits a dope verse). ![]() Tracks like "Punish Me" (with Miss Jones) and "You Ain't A Killer" also work well. The track is edited, probably because it was his lead single. ![]() "Still Not A Player" featuring Joe (who updates his song here) still remains to be his biggest hit of his career. The track "Super Lyrical" has Pun and Black Thought of The Roots going back and fourth over a sick beat. ![]() My two cents are that some of the standouts are the best songs I've heard in a minute. Not a whole lot can be said, since everyone has covered every aspect of this album. Pun saw himself as one of the best Latino rappers here in the game, and with his debut he set out to prove that point. Pun was such a great lyricist that would be remembered along the east coast, with various hits like "Still Not A Player", and "You Came Up". Two years after releasing this album, he would later die of a heart attack. Big Punisher couldn't have such a great career, but at the same time, very short. ![]()
