Nas loved and respected Big Pun so much and I always thought that this is one of the reasons why he wanted to do a posse track with him. Every interview that Nas has talked about Big Pun it's been with the utmost respect. I absolutely love the Johnny Blaze track and think Pun's verse was a killer, I'm glad it was mentioned.

I love big pun. I love Albe back. Albe is such a great storyteller. Stories like these is what made me fall in love with hip hop. Big ups to math and the whole crew for this one.

But Nas is known to always change his verse. This is known. Rappers always say Nas write mad verses cause he think he can go even harder. He literally has a track talking bout that. Pun is 🔥 but we talking Nas here
I wonder how many times Nas changed his verses when rapping against AZ on Life's A B&&& to Full Circle???? Because AZ washed Nas on every single collaboration they did in life.
He didn’t say it was his verse he spit the verse he talked about Nas imagery and then he mentioned Nas 3rd verse on the street dreams remix all explainin why Nas was his favorite rapper
Nas changing his verse on John Blaze after hearing Big Pun's verse is definitely a trophy for Big Pun. Cuban Link has confirmed this in different interviews as well.
Fire story... I believe every word of it but I think son is mistaken about Pun "making" Nas change his verse. So many artists and producers that worked with Nas are on record as saying that Nas changes verses often. I heard a woo story that Nas changed his verbal intercourse versus a few times and premier is on record saying that Nas changed the New York state of mind verse a few times before he settled on what we hear on the album. Nas himself said that he changed his verse for a song he did with Jay Z... It's just something he does. Too bad Math didn't ask Canibus for Pun stories since they've been in the studio together and Punisher poke very highly of Canibus and working with him back then... That's the only man that MADE Nas do anything with a verse... His Desperados verse made Nas pull his whole appearance on a song featuring a group he was the leader of. It was unnecessary cause Nas Desperados verse is insane... He went harder than anything else he put out at that time in that deleted verse but that Canibus momentum had everyone second guessing themselves and their bars. Other than that moment Nas never flinched for nobody... He just be changing shit... Got a whole song about him always changing verses on Book of Rhymes on God Son.
On Pun documentary Nas said it himself; ''I have to step my shit up, cause PUN is coming for everybody''. In his own words. RIP PANA. theeee nicest ever. Wepa!
Pun was legendary he took over every track he was featured on. Personally I couldn’t put any other rapper before him. I was he was still here. A track wit eminem would’ve been super sick.
Was def saying this. I came into hip hop after he died but heard his songs and stuff he was definitely ahead of his time. Him and Em would’ve really been fire‼️‼️
@@donculzac His son Chris is the next closest thing to a Pun/Em collab. He has his own style but can sound exactly like Pun whenever he wants to. You can only tell the difference because of the pitch of his voice. Flow, cadence, hell even the way Pun would breathe it's a perfect 1:1 ratio.
Classic Bars in John Blaze. Pun "I hate a actor that plays a rapper" Jada "My Attitude Subject too change I'll mess around a shoot 12 at the driver side door of your Range" [ Jay-z ] dart. At Fat Joe was spitting heavy at Jay-z back then.....good old days
I can say this for all hip hop heads. Big Pun was nicer than Biggie. He top 5 all time lyricist hands down.Eminem hold delivery set up and rhyme scheme is because of Big Pun.
It's both but you're also still wrong. Big Pun's influences were Kool G Rap and Shabazz The Disciple, they both have been in his presence to acknowledge this fact if I remember correctly
You got the WRONG man there to talk about BIG PUN give Cuban LINK a chance STOP blocking him PLEASE 🙏 let him just talk cause he ain’t got a chance on the music anymore 🤍💙❤️

Word, I remember hearing Charlie Roc LD tellin me, that, he even heard that Pun made all the features re-write their verses on Pun's Yeah Baby album. Charlie did say he heard that Pun pushed his Squad to give it 100%
I'm Glad Albe Mentioned "Street Dreams" Remix Yo Nas Lyricism Was On Another Level On That Track... Real Introspective Vinyl Reanimators Did A Great Remix To It Besides Trackmasters.... Hell Nas Even Performed The Song With Wiz On Nickelodeons All That Back In The Day....
That’s wild bc I all ways thought that was pun I would rewind it back like that’s pun and niggas would b like I’m bugging that’s probly horse.I knew it

Yes! Love how real he keeps it. He wasn't even afraid to say that he got knocked out in a fight real or not. You know how some people are always embellishing their stories. Big respect to that man.
I dont feel like Pun was here long enough to be top echelon, much like Big L, may he rest in peace, but Big Pun was dope enough to scare rappers in the game. He would have been a force you couldnt ignore.

@@HovitoBaby if that's all why he was about to get signed to Roc before his passing? Listen to Jay-Z & his freestyle his way better. Eminem even said he nice.

He was & will always be Harlem's #1 MC. You don't know hip hop homie. These are all FACTS. yours opinion.
@@rwarren4637 No maybe bro Pun was definitely influenced by Kool G. Pun LITERALLY got down on one knee and kissed Kool G.s ring so it's official not rumor
Nas is always 2nd guessing his verses on features. Rae and Ghost said they had to insist he didn't try another verse on Verbal Intercourse. Pun was tuff, but he wasn't ever what Nas was .
@@MrWARBUCKS24 I'm saying, Nas pulled up with verses already in the tuck, but Rae and Ghost told him ' don't try anything else, THAT'S the one right there' . Even Eye 4 an Eye verse that made the Infamous album wasn't the original verse. Nas will try new verses if you let him .
He did switch his verse up but in my opinion the first verse was hotter, better lyrically and harder…… they changed the beat too….. and Nas did give credit to hearing puns verse and re-writing his own 🤷🏽♂️😎
I’ve said this for years Nas don’t like NOBODY outshining him real talk. On the Firm album the track Desperadoes did you hear how Canibus was going off ?? Nas didn’t appear on that track imo because he knows Canibus took it 💯
True about Desperadoes. Nas couldnt f*&& with Canibus. Nas was scared af of Canibus. But false about Nas not liking nobody outshining him. Because he was so used to that. AZ outshined Nas from Life's A Bi&&&& to Full Circle. AZ outshined Nas on every single collaboration. Cormega outshined Nas on Affirmative Action. Probably why Nas replaced Cormega with Nature. Nas couldnt have two members outshinning tf out of him.
Affirmative action? I had heard Nas stole the line “life’s a bitch but God forbid the bitch divorce me” from Mega but this is the first I’m hearing Mega outshined him
@Diane V Nah B Nas killed Affirmative Action. Yo my mind is seeing through your design Like blind fury a shine jewelry Sipping on crush grapes we lust papes Later in the verse. Life's a b**** but God forbid The b**** divorce me I be Flooded with Is ice so h*** Fire can't scorch me. Not even close.🤦🏿♂️
@@dianevrules : He didn’t replace Mega with Nature, Steve Stoute did hence why he was kicked out of the Firm. Mega and Nas have been tight for years and their beef damaged what could’ve been, but glad they squashed it. And i disagree why do you think Nas has NEVER had Raekwon feature on any of his albums ?? AZ was only on a couple of Nas’ albums because he was showing love, but deep down Nas knows AZ is and always will be a problem 🔥🔥
Banned from T.Vs verse was ridiculous.... "been sonning ngz so long I think I got a grandson. My passion is money, I stash in a honey that won't ask any questions but will blast anybody..."
Can we talk about Fat Joe how he never paid Big Pun's family but chose to act like he did everything in his power to look out for their family Fat Joe is starting to turn in to Snoop Dogg retelling history for people who aren't here
It's crazy how people talk about Joe never paid his family, but fail to realize Joe was in business with PUN and not his family. ITS BUSINESS!!! No job check on a family after an employee dies...SMH
@@thecunninlynguist she just got the masters around the covid time. Joe was saying for twenty years pun wasn't recouped. Her lawyer did an interview with doggie diamonds some time ago, check it out
I feel him on the “one of the coldest nas verses was Street Dreams”… But if you heard E Money Bags ft Nas ft Horse - I want It. That was the coldest verses i heard from nas til this day 🔥🔥🔥.
I guess if you’re not intelligent you would think that. 🤷 Slow people liked when he said sha-sha-shit on you. Simple and funny always wins to the dumb ones.

@@rwarren4637 No bro.. How Nas lay his words is Kool G ALL DAY... Just the content is different
@@rwarren4637 No maybe bro Pun was definitely influenced by Kool G. Pun LITERALLY got down on one knee and kissed Kool G.s ring so it's official not rumor
For Nas it wasn't just Kool G but also Rakim and Slick Rick
Capital Punishment is becoming a timeless classic.That Album is aging like fine wine,still slaps hard today
Nas is always 2nd guessing his verses on features. Rae and Ghost said they had to insist he didn't try another verse on Verbal Intercourse.
Pun was tuff, but he wasn't ever what Nas was .
That verbal intercourse verse was 2-3yrs old by time we heard it on the purple tape
@@MrWARBUCKS24 I'm saying, Nas pulled up with verses already in the tuck, but Rae and Ghost told him ' don't try anything else, THAT'S the one right there' . Even Eye 4 an Eye verse that made the Infamous album wasn't the original verse. Nas will try new verses if you let him .
Fitst time I heard Pun was 95 on Flex mixtape over the " Ice cream" instrumental and "Firewater".
Stutter part was fire but I had to knock it a few jus cuz Big Daddy Kane had done it 10 years earlier.
legendary 🖤 hearing this from neph LONG LIVE PUN.....
PUN IS TOP 5 NO DOUBT ABOUT IT 💯💯💯💯💯
NO WHERE NEAR TOP 5. HE IS IN YOUR TOP 5!!!!!!!!!!!!
He did switch his verse up but in my opinion the first verse was hotter, better lyrically and harder…… they changed the beat too….. and Nas did give credit to hearing puns verse and re-writing his own 🤷🏽♂️😎
I’ve said this for years Nas don’t like NOBODY outshining him real talk. On the Firm album the track Desperadoes did you hear how Canibus was going off ?? Nas didn’t appear on that track imo because he knows Canibus took it 💯
Nas verse was fire. I was madd he took his verse off
True about Desperadoes. Nas couldnt f*&& with Canibus. Nas was scared af of Canibus. But false about Nas not liking nobody outshining him. Because he was so used to that. AZ outshined Nas from Life's A Bi&&&& to Full Circle. AZ outshined Nas on every single collaboration. Cormega outshined Nas on Affirmative Action. Probably why Nas replaced Cormega with Nature. Nas couldnt have two members outshinning tf out of him.
Affirmative action? I had heard Nas stole the line “life’s a bitch but God forbid the bitch divorce me” from Mega but this is the first I’m hearing Mega outshined him
@Diane V Nah B Nas killed Affirmative Action. Yo my mind is seeing through your design Like blind fury a shine jewelry Sipping on crush grapes we lust papes
Later in the verse.
Life's a b**** but God forbid The b**** divorce me I be Flooded with Is ice so h*** Fire can't scorch me.
Not even close.🤦🏿♂️
@@dianevrules : He didn’t replace Mega with Nature, Steve Stoute did hence why he was kicked out of the Firm. Mega and Nas have been tight for years and their beef damaged what could’ve been, but glad they squashed it. And i disagree why do you think Nas has NEVER had Raekwon feature on any of his albums ?? AZ was only on a couple of Nas’ albums because he was showing love, but deep down Nas knows AZ is and always will be a problem 🔥🔥
Banned from T.Vs verse was ridiculous.... "been sonning ngz so long I think I got a grandson. My passion is money, I stash in a honey that won't ask any questions but will blast anybody..."
RIP Pun. Definitely a legend in the game but Nas is a tier above. Let’s be real.
THANK YOU
Pun was an upgraded nas in his prime
THATS MY FAVORITE BIG PUN VERSE FROM BRAVE IN DA HEARTS !!!
Can we talk about Fat Joe how he never paid Big Pun's family but chose to act like he did everything in his power to look out for their family
Fat Joe is starting to turn in to Snoop Dogg retelling history for people who aren't here
How do you know it's true though? Iirc puns wife owns his masters/publishing.
It's crazy how people talk about Joe never paid his family, but fail to realize Joe was in business with PUN and not his family. ITS BUSINESS!!! No job check on a family after an employee dies...SMH
@@Shamgod777and if pun's wife spent it all...that's on her
@@thecunninlynguist the estate goes to the wife
@@thecunninlynguist she just got the masters around the covid time. Joe was saying for twenty years pun wasn't recouped. Her lawyer did an interview with doggie diamonds some time ago, check it out
Pun is Top 5 DOA and if he would have lived a full life he would undoubtedly be the Best to ever do it handz down !!
Pun was the greatest
That's what YOU say.
I feel him on the “one of the coldest nas verses was Street Dreams”…
But if you heard E Money Bags ft Nas ft Horse - I want It. That was the coldest verses i heard from nas til this day 🔥🔥🔥.
He got Nas on John Blaze...
Pun got everyone even Black Thought
Hell nah. Rae verse was better than Pun’s
@@FYLife Rae is just that good!!
He def had the best verse. Most memorable line
I guess if you’re not intelligent you would think that. 🤷 Slow people liked when he said sha-sha-shit on you. Simple and funny always wins to the dumb ones.
And those bars from NAS they were reciting were from The Message, in case you wanted to look up the song
