Still a player in the minds of Brooklyn residents is the late Big Pun, who's real name is Christopher Lee Rios, who died back in 2000 from a heart attack.
Members of the Community are pushing for a street to be named after Pun in The Bronx in honor of the late rapper. Matter of fact, fans have created a petition for a street on East 163rd Street and Rogers Place to be changed.
Big Pun's son, Chris Rivers said, "I think for the people of the Bronx that grew up listening to him, that was inspired by his words and the millions of people that heard his music, I think it would be amazing to see something more concrete."
Reportedly this decision could be going before city representative. However, Rafael Salamanca, the city councilman said that, if there is enough residential support the proposal, he'll put the idea to a vote.
