Terror Squad was a force to recon with in the late 90s, early 2000s. Although they didn't sell huge numbers, they were super lyrical, and were respected in the streets. The team was all Latino rappers, except from Remy Ma. Fat Joe put the crew together, but Big Pun was the most commercially successful in there, before he passed away in 2000. Asides from being a rap crew, they were all very close friends. This great hip hop group has since fallen apart, and some are even beefing with each-other. HipHopDX recently caught up with one of the members, Cuban Link, and got him to speak on one of his best Big Pun memories.
"It’s so many, man. My favorite was before the music started, man. It was just us going to the movies and him doing a fucking cartwheel as soon as we get in the matinee at Whitestone Cinema in the Bronx. We had a couple of 40s, and this nigga just walks down the aisle and does a somersault. People was in the fuckin’ movie theatre looking crazy like, what the fuck we on? It goes from there to us fucking going to the Poconos when 'Still Not A Player.' was already poppin’. We were all on quads and we following Pun all day like he’s the leader. He had the big ass quad, the 800, it was fun. Out of nowhere he left all of us. He just jetted, and we couldn’t find him. And out of nowhere I see the fucking quad turned over by a tree. Over the tree was a big ass hill so I’m like, “What the fuck happened to my brother?” I’m getting nervous, and we find this nigga on the side of a tree. It was a tree that leaned over the mountain, but he was on top of the tree with blood on the side of his lip. It was me and Sunkiss there at the time, and we’re looking for help and yelling, “Yo, Twin, yo, yo!” and this nigga just pops up and start gigging on us [laughs]. He caught us and shit. He was playing dead, and it was funny to us, but for a second it was real serious."
