Yeeeah Baby

 (72 customer reviews)

Pun had skills, no doubt. His 1998 debut "Capital Punishment," was a classic. This album does not measure up to that, but it's still pretty good overall.
"Watch Those" is a nice track in which Pun spits those same kinds of wicked lines he mastered on Capital Punishment. "It's So Hard" finds Pun experimenting with a different flow, in which he hightens his voice during the middle and end of each line. It's also rather sad, as he says at the end of the first verse "I just lost a hundred pounds, I'm tryna live!"
"New York Giants" is a hyped up joint, which isn't surprising considering it features everybody's favorite hyped-up duo, M.O.P. "N*gga Sh*t" features a dope beat courtesy of Buckwild, but it's far too short, clocking in at only 1:45. Other standout tracks include "Off Wit His Head," "Leather Face," and "Laughing At You."
The album trails off slightly at the end,...Read more

When I first heard Big Pun a few years ago on "Still Not A Player", and rushed out and picked his cd up thinking I am buying it solely for that song. But the cd surprised me and I found it to be great and worthy of 5 stars. So when I heard this cd was coming out I was totally excited, but then came the new of his death. This is the last testament to Big Pun AKA Christopher Rios and I wished it was better. It's not bad, but I was feeling Capitol Punishment more. Still Pun serves up some phat beats just as he did on his first release. The first release It's So Hard is one that hits you. Pun says he lost 100 pounds because he wanted to live and yet god had other plans. But Pun still left us with other good songs such as: Watch Those, Off Wit His Head, NY Giants, It's So Hard, You Was Wrong, amongst others. The cd still has all the elments as his first but he seems to slide a little bit on the release. But most of the beats are strong as well as the...Read more

Big Pun was one of the most talented poets of modern hip hop. There, I said it. Despite my love for more underground artists like Chino, Godfather Don or Aceyalone, I gotta admit I had a secret affair with Pun's sick, twisted, witty and original lyrics/flow. 'Capital Punishment' is undeniably one of the best debuts ever. So how do you approach 'Yeeeah Baby'? You just cant help but to compare it with the immortal debut album. The problem with this album is that there are simply too many guests. Who wants to listen to Prospect, probably the least talented member of the TS, grunt his guts out in 'Off Wit His Head'? Who doesnt want to listen to the Punisher? 'Ms. Martin', the track which introduces Remi Martin, a relative newcomer, to the mainstream audience, is just plain WEAK. Pun does nothing but talk on the chorus, and the beat (by DJ Shok)... Please. Other wack moments include 'My D**k' (heard the issue too many times, a corny chorus) and 'You Was Wrong' (with the no-flow...Read more
