This was not only a great story but a great documentary on a music artist that opened the doors for so many new artists. I got this movie not knowing much about Big Pun. After watching, I was more than happy I got this. Its truly a collecters item..

2.0 out of 5 stars More of a tribute than a documentary..., January 9, 2010

Vlad Yudin's "Big Pun: The Legacy" runs more like a tribute than a documentary to the most talented Latin rapper of all-time, Christopher Rios. The film is roughly 90 minutes of Pun performance footage and interviews with family and rappers who were close to him. There are a number of high profile rappers thoughts on Rios including, Raekwon, Ghostface, Method Man, Mobb Deep, Xzibit, B-Real, etc. The problem with "Big Pun: The Legacy" is that almost none of the darkness is explored. There is little to no mention of his abuse of his wife and children (both physical and verbal). Also, the making of Capital Punishment or like a track by track synopsis of this classic album is completely absent from this film. Pun's enormous weight gain and ultimate demise are chronicled well, as is his rise to fame as a top-notch rapper and lyricist. But, again there is not enough depth here to consider this a serious documentary. The bottom line: For hardcore heads only, all others should rent before buying.

If your from the BX, this is for you, if your from the Tri State area this is for you. If your from the era where you think LiL Wayne is one of the best of all time, well then this isn't for you. Put it this way only real hip hop people should get this. Big Pun was too nice, and could have been arguably the greatest of all time. Yet his time in the game was too short due to his death. I feel that you need to be a true fan of real hip hop when lyrics meant something. Right about now you have clowns like Jeezy and Wayne, Pitbull , Officer Rick Ross, Fifty bad scent, owning the waves with at best subpar music, but yet it's throwin into our ears as if it's great music. The present status of hip hop will no where ever be close to that decade of the 90's, early 2000's
