Edited sentence: Big Pun is recognized by most fellow rappers and many fans as Hip-Hop's greatest lyricist and one of the greatest MC's in history.Despite all these accolades he is still suprisingly unappreciated.His full-length debut Capital Punishment followed in 1998, and was the first album by a solo Latino  rapper to go platinum, peaking at #5 on the Billboard 200and eventually selling more then 4 million albums to date.His short time in the game being the only knock against him but also a major reason to why many consider him to be so great.Ice-T for one has said in a recorded interview that Pun "was the best that ever did it".It eventually went platinum and has sold upwards of 2 million to date.Many of his peers have come to his defense and have spoken out against the lack of appreciation directed towards him.More support like this and with a new doccumentary and album in the works can help get Big Pun the respect he justly deserves.P stated "when Pun was around you would notice he never had beef.That was because everybody knew they couldn't fuck with him on the mic".What he accomplished in such little time has rarely been done by any artists in any genre of music
