N.O.R.E. Reflects On His Career
It's not the first time N.O.R.E. has gotten emotional reflecting on his career as of late. Last month, he did so while discussing the impact Big Pun had on his life. “Pun was probably the greatest person I ever met in life,” N.O.R.E said. “Not the greatest Puerto Rican — the greatest person I ever met in life. I remember me and Pun both being platinum. And if he found out I was in the Bronx, he would buy me an Avirex and a PlayStation. And I was like, ‘Yo bro, I’m getting’ the same amount of money as you,’ but he always wanted to give.”
