His home were the ghetto streets of the Bronx. His life goal was to attain personal greatness. Big Pun began his ascension to the top of the hip-hop world by dropping rhymes on street corners. His lightning fast lyrics and super smooth flow got him noticed. In no time, he became a standout member of Fat Joe's notorious Terror Squad. Pun's debut album sold better than 2 million copies, garnering him a Grammy nomination. Fans adored him and fellow rappers respected and emulated him. Pun didn't change, he kept it real.
