Here is the story from a feature in Complex Magazine in 2016
Big Pun
weighed almost 700 pounds at the time of his death. Yet the iconic image that still lives on nearly 17 years later is far more graceful—a silhouette of Christopher “Big Punisher” Rios soaring through the air, legs like scissors, holding a microphone to the sky.
The logo—sometimes called “Air Pun"—was a hip-hop play on Michael Jordan’s Jumpman symbol, used to promote the Bronx rapper’s sophomore album,
Yeeeah Baby
. The idea was inspired by a Spring 1999 conversation between Pun and
Terror Squad
affiliate
Eif Rivera
—now a video director for
Puff Daddy
,
50 Cent
and
Lil Wayne
—about weight loss.
“I was like, ‘Yo Pun, man, you gotta lose some weight,’” says Rivera, who met Pun through childhood friend
Fat Joe
. “You’re gonna be the biggest artist on the planet once you lose weight and you’re able to move around.‘ At that moment, he was like, 'Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah baby! YEAH BABY!’”
Pun ran with the phrase as the title of his second LP. But he still needed artwork to depict the vision of the more slimmed-down superstar he’d imagined. So he asked Rivera, a graf writer and
High School of Art & Design
alum who’d caricature the crew for fun, to help him be like Mike.“He was like, ‘Draw me like Jordan, but not too fat'—those were his exact words,” Rivera tells Genius. “We tried out him doing the Michael Jackson dance. It was either Michael Jackson or Jordan. I gave him the Jordan logo and he was super excited.”
Rivera began printing and distributing the logo on T-shirts througout Summer ‘99. Pun’s label, Loud Records, used it on merch and in advertising campaigns. The logo got so big that Nike, which owned Jordan Brand, threatened to sue.
“Nike reached out to Loud Records with a cease-and-desist [letter],” Rivera says. “It wasn’t local. I got that big, man. But we had a good run.”
