Did Big Pun take it too far with this song?

Now I understand most Puerto Ricans have partial black ancestry and generally get away with saying the n-word, but there's a song on Big Pun's posthumous album which I kind of find to be distasteful. The whole song is basically just him naming black stereotypes, although he's glorifying them.

I agree with the OP, in all honesty even if it was made by a black rapper as opposed to a puerto rican rapper...I would think it went to far. The song is in poor taste.
yeah come to think of it, it's in REALLY poor taste, being a nonblack person and perpetuating a bunch of negative stereotypes about black people

On the East Coast Puerto Ricans are considered one of us. I didn't learn this until I first went to Jersey. We was in Downtown Newark and the bul was like (and I quote) "Puerto Ricans are Black with straight hair". From my experience when I was was out there that's how they were treated too. :yeshrug:

I'm aware of that, but they're not literally considered black

And did you listen to the song?
