First of all, this is the FIRST song I ever heard from Joell Ortiz:

I remember telling my boy, NOT EVEN HALF WAY THRU THIS SONG, “Yo, I can’t listen to this”… “he and NO ONE can ever touch these beats” … “this is disrespectful”. But, after calming down and giving it a chance, I realized Joell is a MONSTER and he is doing it in honor of Pun.
Second of all, Joell has done plenty more tribute tracks to Pun and no one has said a word publicly. Now, all of a sudden people wanna talk shit? I would completely understand if Joell was disrespecting or talking shit, but he is HONORING a man who he feels is a LEGEND.
Third of all, with all due respect, I don’t see Cuban and/or Tony putting out a track as sick as the Big Pun Back track. They simply don’t have it in them.
I still think it would be great to hear Cuban on a track with Joell and Tony on the hook…. Make it happen fellas!!
