Christopher Lee Rios better known by his stage name Big Pun (short for Big Punisher), was an American rapper. Rios was born on November 10, 1971 in The Bronx, New York City, to parents of Puerto Rican descent. Pun was the first Latino rapper to have an album certified platinum as a solo act. Pun's lyrics are notable for technical efficiency, having minimal pauses to take a breath, heavy use of alliteration as well as internal and multi-syllabic rhyming schemes. He is widely regarded as one of the greatest rappers of all time. Big Pun became a member of Terror Squad, a New York-based group of rappers founded by Fat Joe. Pun struggled with a weight problem for all of his adult life. His weight fluctuated in the early 1990s between obese and morbidly obese. On February 7, 2000, Big Pun suffered a fatal heart attack and respiratory failure while temporarily staying with his family at a Crowne Plaza Hotel in White Plains, New York, during a home renovation. Pun was pronounced dead at the hospital after paramedics could not revive him. Big Pun was at his highest weight at the time of his death: 698 pounds. #bigpun @fatjoe @djkhaled #islandpeeps #puertorico #bronx #TerroSquad #bigpunisher #Goat (at San Juan, Puerto Rico)
