小简介

Big Pun是第一位获得白金销量的Latino Rappa, 但因为心脏病同样也是Hip-Hop界中另一个英年早逝的rapper..他幼年时期生活在Bronx的波多黎哥人社区,一直忍耐着这个不稳定的家和那时老往外迁居的生活,尽管如此,他仍然继续坚持自我的教养,然而变的对Rapping和Breakdancing很感兴趣(在这期间他就这样度过了不幸的岁月)。。

1989年,他用Big Moon Dog的名字和几个朋友组了一个说唱团体,这个天才般的超级雄是个奇迹,那时在Hardcore、Gangsta方面就得到了很大的突破;随后他就把名字改成了Big Punisher。而就在这期间(1995年)的Bronx,他在说唱方面的突变让他的好友Fat Joe留下了印象。。因此在Fat Joe的"Fire Water"里就邀请了Big Pun合作(这首歌里面也有Wu Tang成员Raekwon),"Watch Out"里Big Pun也参与了合作。还出现在他的伙伴unkmaster Flex的Mixtape里。。很快他自己成功的在Underground群体里有了一定的名誉。1997年他的那一首"I'm Not a Player"获得成功,接着那首"You Ain't a Killer"是他的灵魂突破口,并还收录在篮球纪录片中。在Fat Joe的帮助下,Loud Records唱片公司给了他可靠的待遇。。Big Pun的首张专辑《Capital Punishment》由于"Still Not a Player"的成功便马上打入专辑榜前五,而"Still Not a Player"的Remix版本也是受到大规模的欢迎;《Capital Punishment》持续的热卖竟达到200万张的销量,在这年,Big Pun并和他的良师益友Fat Joe,同几个up-and-coming MCs组成了Terror Squad,并发行了首张同名专辑《Terror Squad》。。。之后他就与一些歌手一并录音,如Noreaga、Jennifer Lopez("Feelin' So Good"这里也有Fat Joe);

直到他准备他的第二张个人专辑,不幸的是他长时间的奋斗劳累和吃得过多过于肥胖以至开始存在问题,在Fat Joe的力劝下,他去了North Carolina的一个门诊部,在那足足减了80磅!!据报道,他的重量在450-700磅之间上下变动,但无论如何,他被送回Bronx前已经完成第二张专辑计划。。悲剧发生了,2000/2/7,Big Pun遭受了一个致命的心脏病发作!他仅仅28岁,有一个妻子和三个孩子。。过了二个月,他完成的第二张专辑《Yeeeah Baby》发行后,受到各音乐界肯定,并登上专辑榜第三

The first solo Latino rapper to go platinum, Big Punisher was also yet another member of the hip-hop community to fall victim to an early death — though in his case, it was due to health problems, not violence. In contrast to his large frame, Big Pun was a surprisingly graceful and nimble rapper, delivering his often clever, tongue-twisting rhymes at a torrential pace. Big Pun was born Christopher Rios on November 10, 1971, and grew up in the South Bronxs Puerto Rican community. He endured a rough childhood in an unstable home, and moved out when he was 15, dropping out of high school around the same time. Still, he continued his education on his own, and became interested in rapping and breakdancing (he was a solid athlete during his teen years). In 1989, under the name Big Moon Dog, he and several friends formed a street-corner rap group called the Full a Clips Crew. He later changed his name to Big Punisher, after the Marvel Comics superhero, and caught his big break when he met and impressed fellow Bronx rapper Fat Joe in 1995. He guested on a couple of Fat Joe tracks, Fire Water (which also featured Raekwon) and Watch Out, and following an appearance on Funkmaster Flexs The Mix Tape, Vol. 1, quickly made a name for himself in the underground community. He guested prominently on the Beatnuts Off the Books in 1997, and also worked with B Real and Flesh-N-Bone. Pun scored an underground hit of his own with Im Not a Player in 1997, and also contributed You Aint a Killer to the Soul in the Hole basketball documentary. With Fat Joes help, he secured a deal with Loud Records.Big Puns solo debut, Capital Punishment, was released in 1998 and debuted in the Top Five thanks to Still Not a Player, a club-ready remix of Im Not a Player that proved massively popular. Earning credibility in the hardcore rap world as well, Capital Punishment went on to sell over two million copies. The following year, Pun teamed up with his mentor, Fat Joe, and several up-and-coming MCs to form the Terror Squad, which released a self-titled debut album. Pun stayed in the public eye with guest work on records by Noreaga and Jennifer Lopez (the hit Feelin So Good, which also featured Fat Joe) while working on his second album. Unfortunately, his longtime struggles with overeating and obesity were beginning to get the better of him. At Fat Joes urging, he checked into a weight-loss clinic in North Carolina, where he lost 80 pounds. However, he returned to the Bronx before finishing the program, and gained back everything hed lost, plus some extra; reports had his weight fluctuating between 450-700 pounds during his last few years. Tragically, but perhaps not unpredictably, Big Punisher suffered a fatal heart attack on February 7, 2000; he was only 28 years old, and left behind a wife and three children. His completed second album, Yeeeah Baby, was released two months later to positive reviews and entered the charts at number three. 2001s Endangered Species was a compilation mixing hits, guest appearances, and unreleased material; it, too, was a Top Ten seller. Big Puns life was the subject of the 2002 documentary film Still Not a Player.
