Discover The Samples Used In Big Pun’s ‘Yeeeeah Baby’

blame it on Meka February 12, 2019

As a quasi-quasi-purveyor of Meka’s Soul Mix Show, I’m always interested and here for moments like these.

Sadly, the 19th anniversary of the tragic passing of Christopher “Big Pun” Rios just so happens on the birthdate of another fallen legend, J Dilla. And while the next episode of 2DopeRadio (coming this week!) will be a tribute to James Yancey, VinRican of Los Angeles’ Power 106 paid homage to the Big Moon Dog in his own unique way.

As a part of his long-running series, Vin explored the samples found in Pun’s 2000 sophomore album Yeeeeah Baby. Whether you’re a physical (or digital) crate-digger, or simply a fan of exploring music, the below 15 minutes will bring you nothing but pleasure.
