Can He Live?

The late Big Pun’s son Chris Rivers kicked it with Peter Rosenberg’s late night show. He spoke on his music, his pops,  and relationship with Fat Joe. Above, he cracks the mic over “Quiet Storm” and “The Roc”. Not bad.

Today marks 15 years since Big Punisher dropped his classic debut, Capital Punishment. MTV dug in their vaults and unearthed film of him speaking on going platinum, his weight, and comparisons to B.I.G. Big Pun Forever!

Commemorating J. Dilla’s 32nd birthday and Big Pun‘s passing yesterday, Peter Rosenberg lit up the airwaves with a hour of classics. Listen to his tribute below.

Hard to believe, but today marks the 13th anniversary of Big Pun’s passing. This afternoon on Hot 97, Mister Cee paid homage to Punisher with 60 minutes of his music. Sidebar: Mister Cee Interviews Pete Rock UPDATE: 2013 mix. 2013 MIX

Joell called Funkmaster Flex on Hot 97 this evening and spoke on Liza Rios and Cuban Link dismissing his tribute track, “Big Pun Back”. Frankly, keeping Pun’s legacy alive shouldn’t be an issue.

And the saga continues. Liza Rios isn’t the only one not feeling Joell’s “Big Pun Back“. Former Terror Squad members Cuban Link and Tony Sunshine say they do not support the tribute track as well. And for those who care, the clip also features Peedi Crakk who discusses his new group with Cuban and Tony. thisis50

Not everyone is happy about bringing “Big Pun Back”. Over the weekend, Pun’s widow Liza Rios turned to her Facebook page and said she felt “disrespected” by Joell Ortiz’s tribute track. A lot of people are asking how I feel bout Joell Ortiz BIG PUN is Back. Well it was a good attempt on Joell Ortiz part BUT a BIG PUN he will Never be! Found it a bit disrespectful that he would say he the next Christopher Lee Rios […]

Thanks to Joell Ortiz, Big Punisher is back and BHHTV gets the drop to premiere the accompanying visual aid.

Fat Joe was recently in Orlando and celebrated DJ Nasty’s “100th” birthday. During his performance at Dragon Room, he was also joined by Big Pun’s sister. Reunited and it feels so good. themaguire

Showyaskills was on the block and filmed commentary from Pun’s sister and Triple Seis. For those wanting to see a change, sign the petition here .

For the second time, fans of Big Pun are petitioning for the renaming of a Bronx street in his honor. This time, his sister Nicole Rodriguez wants to rename 163rd St and Rogers Place: “Big Pun Place”. “I feel I owe this to my brother. He was not only my brother, he was a father figure. He stepped in when my parents couldn’t. So I want to push for this. He deserves it. It would become a visual cemetery for […]

This was initially supposed to drop last year. But with yesterday marking 11 years since Pun’s passing DJ Soul finally releases his tribute mix of the late rapper. He plans to release the project on iTunes with proceeds going towards Pun’s family. Tracklist and download link after the jump.

With today marking the 11th anniversary of Big Pun’s death, Angie Mar dug in her archives and found an old interview with Big Pun and N.O.R.E. on Hot 97. Pun talks about being nominated for a Grammy and wanting to be the first rapper to release a quadruple album. Ha! Rest In Peace, Punisher.

N.O.R.E. mentioned this unreleased Pun tribute track during his XXL ustream session a few weeks ago, that was premiered on Hot 97 awhile back, but never heard again. Thanks to 57th Ave, they just rebirthed the track. RIP Chris Rios.
