Big Pun - Yeeeah Baby

The first solo Latino rapper to go platinum (with 1998's Capital Punishment), Christopher "Big Pun" Rios didn't live to see the release of this follow-up. Despite a relieved-sounding boast about losing 100 pounds on the percolating "It's So Hard," Pun died of apparent heart problems early in 2000. Yeeeah Baby is a final testament he could be proud of. Imaginative production backs Pun to the hilt as he moves from the smooth Spanglish flow of "It's So Hard" to the living-well-is-the-best-revenge tale "Laughing at You" and the neighborhood-threatening "New York Giants." Loud, strong, and clear throughout, he'll be missed. --Rickey Wright Amazon.com

simply amazing

No one can come close to puns verses and i doubt anyone will. this cd is great plz get it. April 2, 2008

better than 60% of hip hop today

this album is not better than C.P. but pun has some descent tracks:watch those(best song),off wit his head,its so hard(first single),NY giants,and my turn(lyrical).Pun was probably high on these garabage tracks:we don't care(what was he thinking),my d**k(he didnt even rap on this song),leather face(wack hook and beat),100%(too comercial),laughing at you(has a nice beat but the flow lacks),and you was wrong(stupid but pun's part was nice).watch those was the only reason i bought the album.CP has better flow than yb.Pun,you was one of the greatest but you should of made more descent tracks on this.R.I.P.

Nooooooo Baby

A murder was committed here and it was Big Pun's memory that suffered the loss. Before I start understand that I thought Capital Punishment is one of the best albums of 1998 but there is something very fishy about this posthumous album. After a very stupid intro by Lord Sear, The album begins off with the track Watch Those which is pretty good(even though I do agree that the hook is suspect). Off With His Head(feat Prospect of Terror Squad) and New York Giants(feat MOP) and Leather Face are also dope tracks. Its So Hard(feat Donell Jones) and 100% were decent singles for the album and My Turn(where he takes a shot 50 cent) is also decent. The problem is that there are songs that should have never made it to disc. We Dont Care(feat Cuban Link), N**** S*** and You Was Wrong are all garbage. My D*** and Laughing At You are horrible attempts at comedy and Sunkist(who?) ruins what could have been a dope record with a suspect verse on Wrong Ones(plus the hook for that song sounds like it was put together on the spot). Ms Martin(Remy's solo joint) is not a bad track but it has no business being here! Bottom Line: Big Pun's Yeeeah Baby is the most suspect posthumous album of all time. Aside from a couple of good tracks, this "album" sounds like it put together slapdash in a couple of days. I know Big Pun is capable of much better work so I dont blame him for this posthumous release, I blame Loud Records.
Standout Tracks: WATCH THOSE, OFF WIT HIS HEAD, LEATHER FACE, NEW YORK GIANTS and MY TURN.


REST IN PEACE BIG PUN!!! November 3, 2006

Better then most

Not a classic like his first,but still better then most efforts.Especialy in the age of bling and non-rhyme skills.Pun still shows he had more talent in his fat little pinky toe then 99% of the rappers alive today. January 17, 2006
