Remy Ma recalls rapping for Big Pun as a high school student.
Both Remy Ma and Fat Joe recently appeared as guests on the Rap Radar Podcast. During their conversation with Elliott Wilson and Brian “B.Dot” Miller, the pair touched on their past fallout, each of their relationships with Big Pun, and their upcoming album, Platas o Plomo.
Remy Ma recalled meeting Big Pun, who lived in the same neighborhood as her mother, for the first time as a high school student. The rapper says she was invited to rap for Pun one day, and the next day she joined the rapper for a videoshoot, which also featured Fat Joe and Jennifer Lopez.
From there, Remy says she was with Pun nearly every day.
“He was like ‘Yo, let me hear you rap’…I guess he thought I was gonna be nervous or whatever, but that’s not in me,” Remy Ma said. “I was never nervous. So, I just start rapping. And he’s like ‘That was dope. What else you got?’…I’m sitting there in the truck. Watching them film the video. Jennifer Lopez, Fat Joe, Big Pun..From that day, I was just with him every day.”
During the podcast, Fat Joe doted heavily on the pair’s upcoming album, Platas o Plomo. He compared the release of a project featuring himself and Remy Ma to that of Snoop Dogg and Dr. Dre or Jay Z and Kanye West dropping an album.
“The album is the best album coming out,” Fat Joe said. “It should give inspiration to everybody in New York City. This shit is phenomenal. Remy’s gonna be rated top. They gonna ask to see if she’s the best rapper on Earth, male or female. That’s how bad she’s going on this album. It’s so fuckin’ incredible, when people hear this album, this shit is so fuckin’ crazy. I feel like God blessed us…It’s like if Snoop or Dre did a new album. Kanye and Jay Z did a new album.”

Haha hahaha. … No
Snoop and DRE new album?! Lmfao. We’ll see, but that’s like striking oil in your backyard! Doggystyle and the chronic are two of raps best debut albums to date, with incredible, flawless production, and beats that still sound killer today. And the new kanye album blows, and a new Jayz album? Jayz was amazing mid 2000s and earlier, but after that he turned into a strictly comercial rapper. Props to him as he used to be a great one, but he grew up, got rich, and lost his killer flow n beats.
Comparing you can’t not to snoop and dre maybe kanye and jay but both of thier biggest hits are together i like remy but i like “ante up” remy that hard shit i think the might have a hit or two but no classic
Comparing himself and Remy to 2 West Coast legends? Really? WOW. Such “shock value” implemented, it might sell 12,000 copies LOL!
I’m glad they are back. They can revive NY. Our sound is one a kind in NY and with OG TS members putting a il 2016 flavor on it.Yes can’t wait. Remy Ma & Fat Joe I’m a believer. Maybe Papoose will even FINALLY get he props. he DESERVES. Legendary
Papoose is average at best…worst flow in the game….lyrics on point but boys flow is trash.
Wow well good luck
LMFAO lame Fat joe who’s career is over and Remy Ma is average. NYC rap is dead. And dont get me started about a 50 cent, lox or other old timers.
LMFAO at comparing ANYTHING he does to Dre or Snoop….never gonna happen…nice thinking though.
