Although fans won’t be able to enjoy him musically, they can catch late Big Pun on the small screen. Still Not a Player, a documentary on the rapper’s life, is scheduled for a DVD/VHS release in early 2002.
Pun, who died of a heart attack at 28 in February 2000, left behind a short legacy with 1998’s Capital Punishment and the posthumous release Yeeeah Baby. Wyclef Jean, RZA and Noreaga were among the collaborators on the lyricist’s first release. For the second album, Pun (born Christoper Rios) teamed up with fellow Terror Squad rapper Fat Joe.
The documentary will feature interviews with those who worked with and knew Pun, including RZA, Raekwon, Ice T and Nas. In addition, clips from the rand knapper’s interviews. Pun’s wife, Liza Rios, will provide commentary for the film, which is being directed by Marcos Antonand knio Miranda.
