--- title: One of the best to ever do it - Big Pun description:

Lyrics, flow, sense of humor and untouchable mic threat, Big Pun a.k.a. Big Punisher, had us all geeked when first we heard him on the Beatnuts classic, Off The Books. Ever since then, line for line, he's been someone whose name is always tossed into any discussion of who are some of the best to ever have done it.

Ever since then, line for line, he's been someone whose name is always tossed into any discussion of who are some of the best to ever have done it. We generally tend to remember artists on the day they left us. This time around, let's celebrate Pun on his birthday. Happy birthday Mr. Crush a-lot! [youtube]UOEOn3fng9U[/youtube] Big Pun Feat.
