Amazon.co.uk Review
The first solo Latino rapper to go platinum (with 1998's Capital Punishment)), Christopher "Big Pun" Rios didn't live to see the release of this follow-up. Despite a relieved-sounding boast about losing 100 pounds on the percolating "It's So Hard", Pun died of apparent heart problems early in 2000. Yeeeah Baby is a final testament he could be proud of. Imaginative production backs Pun to the hilt as he moves from the smooth flow of "It's So Hard" to the living-well-is-the-best-revenge tale "Laughing at You" and the neighboUrhood-threatening "New York Giants". Loud, strong and clear throughout, he'll be missed. --Rickey Wright

Customer Reviews

everything in 1 album, one of hiphops finest
i am surprised that big pun is so rarely spoke of, he is an excellent rapper, his flows and his great beats go very well together. This album is excellent because it has everything in one. Excellent beats, Excellent flow, Excellent lyrics, funny skits,some deep tracks pluss this album covers many events in his life. The best tracks in my opinion are track 2, which has a very good beat and excellent rhymes, "its so hard" which is a deep track, the use of words is very good, so is the beat and has a good chorous, and "laughing at you" where pun gets revenge on all the kids who made fun of him at school. Basically anyone who does not own this album is missing out on alot. You would not expect this album to be as good as it is. Reccomend to all hiphop fans and i'd imagine others may find it interesting too. You can't go wrong with an album from one of hip hops greatest lyricists

Yeeeah Baby (no Austin Powers relation)
1. Creation (Intro)
Along the lines of Frankenstein's creation, where Pun is created from parts of other artists

2. Watch Those
Good track. Uses the Starsky and Hutch theme. To good effect as well. About those who act shady and to be aware of them. Good use of guitar loops.

3. Off Wit His Head
Would I expect any less from a Just Blaze production? Dueting with Prospect, this makes a tight combination. The only down side is each verse is only four bars long and you hear the chorus many times throughout. It's still tight though, just a little repetetive.

4. It's So Hard
Piano driven beat. Simple, but I love it. Jumpy. Pun flows over it perfectly. Pun is talking about his fame and recognition. Donell Jones supplies a nice hook too

5. We Don't Care
It's such a shame this track is only 2 verses long. Pun really goes off on this one with his lyrical flow. Pun's best flow performance on the CD is on this track.
It's a dark and traumatic beat. Going out to tell others about the Terror Squad.

6. New York Giants
I'm not too big a fan of M.O.P. coz I feel they shout too much! However they're relegated to only one verse between them and the hook!
The beat is horn driven, it reminds me of a background beat Westwood would use on his shows!
Tight beat. Bad choice of guests.

7. My D*ck
Love the hook! Have to mention the hook! Something to sing to yourself when people keep getting at you
Tony Sunshine has a good one-and-a-half long verse, but that's no bad thing coz he's a nice singer, although I think this is more of a Sunshine than a Pun one. Nice and laid back though despite the song content, and it's good to chill to.

8. Leatherface
Another guitar driven track.
It seems by now that Pun is a fan of decapitating people!
It's not really that good I don't think, I think its just average to me compared to "Off With His Head" (same concept, right?) although the distress samples do at to the buildup in the bridge. Average.

9. Air Pun (Skit)

LOL. Only the lead into the next song so it's a bit pointless. Pun is asleep on an aeroplane. I find that strange coz Fat Joe isn't allowed to fly because of his weight, so how is Pun on a plane?!
Hell, it's just a skit! Funny when Pun farts though... always gets me!

10. 100%
The hook is all in Latino so I don't understand it. While I mention the hook, the sound sample appears to be quite muffled when it plays. I don't think it was equalised well.
That doesn't mean I don't like the song. Got a real Latino vibe to it and makes you want to jump to it. Pun is talking about putting his all into the rapping effort and doing it all to be the number one.

11. Wrong Ones
Not a 5/5 Blaze beat (nice bass throb with drums) but Pun manages to tear it up. His performance is on the level of what he spits on "We Don't Care"
Sunkiss also delivers a slick verse on his behalf, but is outdone by Pun.

12. Laughing at You
You can't knock the mocking tone of this song. Has a real holler at those who denied Pun anything as he was growing up and how he's completely overcome those who thought they were bigger than him yet look what he got now?!
Those with a wide music interest will recognise the "Don't You (Forget About Me)" hook too. Adds to how you may relate to the song. Deep. And I like it, although it isn't too special if you don't feel you've never been in Pun's place.

13. N*gga Shit
Poetry on wax. Boring if you ask me, just repetition of the first line over and over about the stereotypical black culture set to a piano loop. You'll skip it after you heard it too many times.

14. Ms. Martin
I'm not too big a fan of the Ruff Riderz productions or rappers. Too much emcee-based rapping but leaving them with boring beats (not the raw type either)
Pun's hook is dire. The most annoying you'd ever hear Pun at I'm afraid. Skip it coz Remi gets the whole song and gets boring.

15. My Turn
Dark feel to a piano-tinkling and cymbal beat. It's a bit boring however. Feels too slow and very depressing and lonely. Below average. Also note that Pun said it features Tony Sunshine but he doesn't appear on the track. Its a posthumous mix and a badly done job too

16. You Was Wrong
Another below-par DJ Shok production. Too boring with the beat making. All the verses feel average.

My copy of the CD came with an "Urban Classics" sticker attached to it, which is a shame because it shows that it shifted a good few and Pun wasn't even around to witness it blowing up.
I had to listen to this twice before writing the review because i wanted to get into the mood of the CD then compare it to Capital Punishment.

I like this CD. Its no Capital Punishment so it doesn't mean I'll be running out to tell all my friends about it like I did with his first but it's still dope and does sort of grow on you.
Lyrically Pun is a Latino rhyme-god and the majority of the beats are on point too, just why Pun had to link up with the likes certain people I wont know because at about the point you hear the first Ruff Rider track the CD becomes a turn off. This is the trouble with posthumous releases.
I feel they did a good job with it but messed up some appearances and productions and even just put a few boring Pun cuts in from left over material

The most listened to album in my collection
Pun's album has the best collection of songs on it that I've heard in along time. It's got just about every different type of rap and hip hop you can think of. It's the sort of album that always puts a smile on our face, wahtever mood you in. It's so had is the song I listen to ost, it's just a really deep song, and is probably the catchiest song on the album. DJ makes it what it is.
