@ROADDOGGYDOGG - I won't address how retarded that statement sounds, but I will tell you there was a posthumous song made by Terror Squad that was produced by Lord Finesse and it has both Big L and Big Pun verses on it as well as a verse from Fat Joe that is called "Bring 'Em Back".

If you look/hear beyond the more commercial songs about macking and the relatively useless skits, you'll see that this album is deeply conscious and personal. Pun's lyrics chronicle his life in an environment in which crime is basically an only realistic resort to get sufficient funds and power, yet note that while he does find some enjoyment in defying the government, he truly wants for the people to unite to "enhance broader advance to where minorities are the majority voter" and for crime to be an unnecessary lifestyle as he reflects that he "could of went to college and been a mathematician". This is most clearly shown on the title track, and consistently through the album he speaks on those topics ("Parental Discretion" touches on the censorship of hip hop and "Boomerang" further expounds on him 'getting his', even as he knows it's not for the greater good). The thing is that those messages have been saturated with other tracks that don't really have any messages or points at all
