Remember the heavy set hispanic rapper called Big Pun? I think he was related to Fat Joe? It's been eight years now that he died February 7th 2000. Christopher Lee Rios (November 9, 1971 - February 7, 2000), better known as Big Punisher or Big Pun, was an American rapper of Puerto Rican descent who emerged from the underground rap scene in The Bronx in the late 1990s. He first appeared on albums from The Beatnuts on the track "Off the Books" and on Fat Joe's second album Jealous One's Envy as a solo artist. Big Pun's career was cut short in 2000 at age 28 by a fatal heart attack due to his obesity. He is survived by a wife, Liza Rios, and three children. Remember his signature song...."I'm not a player." Listen below.Thursday, February 7, 2008
