His run was short.

For an obese slob, he was a lyrical monster with impeccable breath control. 1st Latino rapper to go platinum I believe.

Watch clips of him recording, he didn't go on and on like his tracks. They cut takes together. He was too fat for all that. Respectfully :damn:

Truthfully, he got a lot more flowers when he died then when he was alive. But Fat Joe - his running mate - also doesn't get recognized for all that he's done either, not everyone fukks with Latino rappers like that :manny:

You don’t hit women ? Breh that line of thinking is so lame . Like I used to think that when I was 13. You grow up and even females look at you disappointed if you say you don’t hit females.
You're seriously advocating for domestic abuse?

Never have I just remove myself from those situations

Pun had a short run, but it was a dope run:

Off The Books
I'm Not A Player
Still Not A Player
Twinz
You Came Up
Banned From T.V.

There's some random remixes in that mix as well like Brandy's "On Top Of The World", Cam's "Horse & Carriage" remix and a few others.

I can't believe people dismiss Pun having a run.

X was bigger than HOV that year.

Vol.2 got a boost from little white girls buying it for the Annie single.

That year was DMX year.
Bigger than the nikka who sold more records than you that year? :heh: Volume 2 was certified 3X plat by December of 98 despite coming out in September. DMX debut didn’t get to that till the next year and it came out in May

Hard knock life didn’t drop as a single till 3 weeks after V2 came out, the album was already a smash :heh:

So only black peolle bought DMX’s albums? :heh:

Coli logic :heh:

Is it fair to say that Big Pun run is equivalent to Big L's?
Pun was a faaaaar bigger deal than Big L.

Big L had a strong underground buzz when he signed to Columbia, but then got outshined with the whole Nas hysteria, and kinda got shelved and didn't drop his debut until 1995, where a lot of the songs sounded dated and sold poorly.

Big Punisher came out with a couple of hit singles out the gate. He dropped in April and was platinum by July of the same year

Yeah.

The problem is your lack of logic and nuance. In your mind, bigger equals sold more records.

The overall impact DMX had hat year was bigger that Jay. He was the biggest rap phenomenon that year.
