Big Pun's cool, but I've always preferred Fat Joe over dude.
Joey Crack was just as ill as Big Punisher back then but Big Pun got more praise because he just came outta nowhere basically when Fat Joe has already been in the game for 5 or 6 years by the time that song came out. Plus Big Pun showed more latino pride in his music so that got him more fans around the world while Fat Joe was just a DITC bronx rapper so the majority of his fans were around that area. Not many people in other areas heard of him around that time except for underground and new york heads. The first big exposure to the world he really got was when he was on LL's "I Shot Ya" Remix. Big Pun and Fat Joe in 97-98 would tear apart about 80% of any mc out today.
