    Don’t forget the G.O.A.T Nas!

  5. Facts says:

    So we got the proof that wearing a du rag does not correlate with knowing shit about classic hip hop

  6. I'M ONLY TELLING THE TRUTH!?! says:

    You guys are always proofreading shit, big deal he didn’t write Nas, i’m sure he knows he is on the song too.

  7. Hannibal Lecture says:

  9. $arcastic A$$hole says:

    Fun fact: Nas stated in an interview that after he heard Puns verse on the track, he had to rewrite his verse.

    “You guys are always proofreading shit, big deal he didn’t write Nas, i’m sure he knows he is on the song too.”

    Who are you, his wife? There is no excuses, this is his job homie. If i wrote a write up on the 90’s Bulls and forgot to mention Ron Harper, would that be okay?

  14. jose says:

    Big pun kill yhat shit ,classic track

  15. JOHNYblaze says:

    MY FAVORITE rap song and most influencial song to me in this hip hop shit! Timing wise I was 11, heard it was blown away, studied it on and on as the years went by and this is like my Holy Grail (sneakerhead term) for me in terms of structure flow, content , delivery and visually they all killed it.

  16. I'M ONLY TELLING THE TRUTH!?! says:

    What up E? it is E right?

    “Who are you, his wife? There is no excuses, this is his job homie. If i wrote a write up on the 90′s Bulls and forgot to mention Ron Harper, would that be okay?”

    You are correct this is his job…. that HE gets paid for not YOU….your job is to come on here and blog……Unless that E is short for Elliot who are you to proofread someones comments that is not YOUR employee…

    Oh and by the way Ron Harper was tight on the Cavs and Clips but was ass on the Bulls the Big 3 were Jordan Pippen and Rodman, the Bulls would have still won the Chip without Ron Harper’s s studdering ass.

    I just sh sh shit on you!

    Pun intended, get it.

  22. creo says:

    Dope song album was banging too. Now u know u done fucked up rite big pun classic verse

  23. ElroyzzMcGEee says:

    This song is like the legacy of why Big Pun was one of the greatest,
    I mean to have jada and nas on there and to body them like he did is just unheard of,
    Raekwon and Fat Joe are nice too but Nas and Jada are like top 5 dead or alive.
    TO think if Pun was still alive u could only imagine how great he woulda been

  24. bawse says:

  25. I Was In Nigeria, In High School Listening To the Don Catargena Album ( Which I feel Is A Hip-Hop Classic ) , This Song John Blaze, Changed My Life , A Pure Clash Of the Titans And One That remains Unforgettable, Rest In Peace To Pun, You Were Well Loved In Africa.
