I Saw Puba at Haffen Park In the Bronx summer 16....it was a free concert and Brand Nubian performed and Lovebug Starski was the DJ....it bugged me out how I just seen Lovebug Starski only a year later for him to pass. I seen Brand Nubians perform at Irving Plaza in 1991 and They did a free concert in Brooklyn 2012 on the saturday before election day up the block from Nostrand on Fulton as a means of trying to get people to vote for Obama. On the last 2 occasions I saw Puba he looked like Pacman. Dude was freaking huge....Puba looked like he steals Derek X and Lord Jamars meals.

People forget, Brand Nubian's debut album was the first album I remember seeing getting bootleged heavy. I was in 8th grade when it dropped and by winter season of 91, everybody in the streets was fukking with it heavy.
Puba’s verse on “All for one”
I hit a beat and swing a note as if my name was David Ruffin
Quick to toast an MC just like an English muffin
Don't worry about a thing because the Puba's never bluffing
I gets headaches from the wack, so then I take a Bufferin and I max
I wait until the opportune time and then I tax but should I max?
Now they say sinning is for sinners so I guess I'm not a sinner
Beginning's for beginners so I guess I'm no beginner
This is how I spark it, money in my pocket
When it comes to having pleasure I gets hard as a rocket
MC Grand Pu coming through all the residue
The songs remain classics dating back to the Babalu
My boys I call 'em Akh, the foes I let 'em jock
And I can think of many episodes I swung in Lincoln Park
No I'm not a phony and I got a tenderoni
Love the way she is, not too fat, not too bony
Don't drink Sanka, won't sink like a tanker
Knock the boots off a skirt in Casablanca and I thank her
Some rappers stink like Englebert Humperdinck
Better yet dikk Cavett, I got a bad habit
Similar to the girl on 'She's Gotta Have It'
I think with the brain and I whip behind the zipper
I'm living kinda good similar to Jack Tripper
A landlord named Roper did a show at the Copa
When I'm finished with this I'll be paid like Oprah
So if honey wants to act fly
I'll just play like Guy and I'm "saying bye bye dumb bytch"
Stick out your thumb and hitch
'Cause you've been cut off like a light switch
See I'm programmed to slam winter, summer, spring or fall
Before I do a show I get some kicks out the mall
Then I get my gear and I give Trev a call
'Cause he works in the barbershop, right behind the mall
Other rappers tried to rob me but you know they got did
To put it blunt, honey I shrunk the kids
So bookers back off break North here comes the regulator
Betcha that you find none greater

He put Tommy Hilfiger on the map! And they went heavy on the Girbaud and Polo as well. Even had Mary rocking that shyt. Love this joint:The '2000' album was
Dude was also responsible for a couple of style trends in the game too.
The 'Alpine' Polo Rugby he wore on Yo MTV Raps is stillto me. I feel like he was ahead of the curve rocking Hilfiger too.

I always thought 2000 was better then Reel to Reel. Reel to Reel was underwhelming to me when it came out.
