I broke this album after Jrome posted Boomerang as his classic track. It's been a minute since I listened to this album. I almost forgot how dope this album. This shit is an east coast classic. It still boggles my mind that a guy that weighed 2045 pounds spit this like it was nothing... I can't even spit that while reading the lyrics lol
Dead in the middle of Little Italy little did we know
that we riddled some middleman who didn't do diddily
-
Yeah that album really grew on me with time. I find him a little like e 40 that way. I find more and more things in the songs after repeated listenings
-
Personal classic hands down. Lyrically sound from start to finish.
-
Dope ass album, no question about it.
-
love it, carribean connection is my shiiit
-
Dream Shatterer and Tres Leches is wow. Awesome album.
-
I see it as a Hip Hop classic. Lyrically the shit is head and shoulders above a lot of shit. I used to listen to this album smoked out all the time and just listen to Pun flow. Those big gasps of air always tripped me out though haha.
-
RIP to the dude . great rapper
-
Ive been listening to a lot of pun again lately, also been bumpin Cuban links unreleased album and that have mercy album, gonna have to find my old terror squad cd aswell and give that a spin

E 40 is no where near Pun on any level do not say stupid shit like this again
-
Are you brain dead? I didn't say there were on the same level lyrically, I said it took me a few listens to catch some of his flows, just like with e 40 but for a different reason. So keep it moving moron.

Dope ass album, no question about it.
Yup, straight up classic

Yeah I broke this out when I made that post...hadn't listened to it from front to back in literally years. This album is extremely dope - it is an east coast classic. It had a HUGE single w/ "Still Not a Player" - I remember seeing that vid back in like 98 for the first time and I'm like "where the fuck did this dude come from?"
Weren't the other singles "You Came Up" and "Twinz"? Thats what a lot of the young bucks don't understand about Hip Hop. I'm always hearing cats on hear say shit like "it's pretty good for a commercial single". That mentality drives me nuts - cats think a single needs to fit in some little formulaic box. That's a huge reason why the game is so fucked up because everything sounds the same. I remember when the singles used to be the dopest songs on the album. Nowadays it's not uncommon for them to be the wackest shit on the album. Nas' last album is a prime example of that - dumbfuck execs try to pair Nas w/ Polow, Chris Brown, Keri Hilson and cram that shit in the middle of an incredibly political and thought provoking album. Drives me nuts.
10 years ago cats like Pun would drop some hard ass shit like "Twinz" as a single. Now? Not so much.
I honestly can't knock this album for anything. Pun is simply amazing, production is fantastic, guest spots worked perfect.
