Big Pun’s Son Writes Birthday Letter To His Father

Chris Rivers has followed in his father’s footsteps with a career in Hip-Hop. But there are times were life trumps the facade of the music industry and in Rivers case, the moment was today. In a heartfelt letter posted on his Instagram, he pours his feeling much to the possible chagrin of other family members due to his past, Big Pun’s first born painted a picture of his father in which he seem larger than life and his role model.

The letter is wonderful and for me personally, makes me want to throw on Capital Punishment.

Happy birthday poppa. It's been almost 16 years and I still see people with tattoos of you immortalized on they flesh. The impact you left on the world will make you immortal as pun. And the impact you left on mommy ( @pun_is_her ) and your daughters ( @nessyrios @star_rios ) and I left you immortal in our hearts. I don't care if it sounds corny. Love doesn't judge. You're this Titan in my eyes this insurmountable force as an rapper I hear stories about your legendary charisma and the way you inspired people like a king. I would have loved to get to know you more. You were the greatest rapper , you were a person who manifested and shaped his destiny from selling crack in sound view sleeping out of bags to going double platinum whippin nighas with iced out chains lmao in all the things you were whether it be the #GOAT , hope , a legend, a man, a human , above all you were a husband and a father. And we love and miss you . I don't usually like saying much so I keep it at I love you and we gonna make you proud. You'll never really die. #RIP #DRAGONSUP #bigPun
