The most underrated rapper of all-time: Christopher Lee Rios

[about.thousands]

Big Pun got his props when he was alive but when we talk about the greats his name seems to be forgotten. Maybe it's because he only put out two albums, but so did Biggie. The first Latino to go Platinum. Pun could hold his own with any rapper and switch styles to match any rapper:

Freestyle:



Neo-soul lyrical rap:



Underground hip-hop:



Southern Rap:



R&B hip-hop



Gangsta ****



Young guns of New York



And Big Pun wasn't just all talk.



[Big Punisher]
Ready for war Joe, how you wanna blow they spot
I know these dirty cops that'll get us in if we murder some wop
Hop in your Hummer, the Punisher's ready
Meet me at Vito's with Noodles, we'll do this dude while he's slurping spaghetti
Everybody kiss the ****ing floor, Joey Crack
Buck em all if they move, Noodles shoot that ****ing whore
Dead in the middle of Little Italy little did we know
That we riddled some middlemen who didn't do diddly

I rub your face off the Earth and curse your family children
Like Amityville I drill the nerves in your cavity filling
Insanity's building a pavilion in my civilian
The cannon be the anarchy that humanity's dealing
A villain without remorse, who's willing to out your boss
Forever and take all the cheddar like child support

**** the police, I squeeze first, make em eat dirt
Take em feet first through the morgue, then lodge 'em in the deep earth
The street's cursed, the first *********'s culturally biased
Supposed to supply us with rights, tonight I hold my rosary tight as I can
I'm one man against the world, just me and my girl
Black Pearl Latina mas fina but keeps it real
You know the deal, we steal from the rich and keep it
Peep it it's no secret, watch me and Joe go back and forth and freak it

**** peace, I run the streets deep with no compassion
Puerto Ricans known for slashing catching *****s while they sleeping
No relaxing, keep your eyes open, sharp reflexes
Three techses in the Jeep Lexus just in case police test us
Street professors, Terror Squad, ****** scholars
Full-a-clips mob, inflicts the fear of God when the metal hollers
Better acknowledge or get knocked down until I'm locked and shot down
Heather B. couldn't make me put my Glock Down

Big Pun top 10 of all-time

Big Pun also boxed as a teen. Here's him and Fat Joe performing at the Trinidad-De La Hoya fight

I think he got a lot of praise, he got enough.

I think underrated would be someone like Canibus and Common.

Resurrection by Common was one of the greatest hip hop albums of all time. It sold 2,000 copies in its first week. When you listen to the album, and read all the reviews, you will wonder why this album isn't talked about.

Canibus is a guy who never showed his full potential in his own albums, but spit fire on everyone else's records and DJ mixtapes.

Canibus was a good lyricist but that's it. Common made two good albums imo. But Pun was versatile. He got credit but when we speak of greatest of all time his name needs to be mentioned in the top 10 at least. He made two classic albums and numerous features he out shined everybody else on the song. He could do the gangsta sh&t, the playa sh%t, and the underground sh%t.

I shatter dreams like Jordan, assault and batter your team
Your squadron'll be barred from rap like Adam and Eve from the garden
I'm carving my initials on your forehead
So every night before bed you see the BP shine off the boardhead
Reverse that, I curse at the first whack
***** with the worst rap cause he ain't worth jack
Hit him with 1000 lbs of pressure per slap, make his whole body jerk back, watch the Earth crack, hand him his purse back
I'm the first Latin rapper to baffle your soul
Master the flow, *****s be swearin I'm blacker than coal
Like Nat King I be rapping and tongues packing the ones
Magnums, cannons and Gatling guns
It's Big Pun the one and only son of Tony Montana
You ain't promised mañana in the rotten manzana
C'mon pana, we need more rhymers
Feel the marijuana snake bite; anaconda
A man of honor wouldn't wanna try to match my persona
Sometimes rhymin' I blow my own mind like Nirvana
Comma and go the whole nine like Madonna
Go try to find another rhymer with my kind of grammar

Big Pun is highly rated though. It's what i'm saying. By underrated, do you mean that he should be rated higher, like top 3? He's usually top 10 best. Top 25 in anything means you are pretty highly rated.

Lmao @ DJ Whoo Kid's story about Pun pulling an Uzi on him

[R_Walken]

Yeah underrated

That verse on Twinz is so f.uckin ******ed, The thing that hurts him is his posthumous album ****** balls with 1 good single, compare that to Bigs classic double album & Pacs Makavelli

[GeneralZod]

Yeah that guy with a platinum album is def the most underrated of all time.

[NapalmKnuckles]

Pun might be underrated to some but I don't think he's the most underrated. Big Pun seems to get his due respect in Hip Hop. He's widely considered the best Latino rapper ever and I've seen him on a lot of all time lists.

Guys like Black Thought, MF DOOM, Z-Ro and Scarface are just as good as Pun IMO and have more music but they don't get rated as highly as Pun most of the time. They never went Plat either.

[TX_BOXNG]

Pun is mention a lot

Underrated is K-Rino, even Scarface knows K-Rino is the best out there
