Yeeeah Baby is Big Pun's second solo album. In the wake of Big Pun's death in February 2000, it was posthumously released in April of the same year as planned, peaked at #3 on the Billboard 200 charts, and subsequently went gold. Fat Joe, Pun's close friend and mentor, is the executive producer of the album. In his last magazine interview, conducted by Industry Insider only a week before his death, Pun detailed that his approach on Yeeeah Baby wasn't as "hardcore" as his previous album, Capital Punishment, in an attempt to reach out to an even wider fanbase than his debut album already had.[1]
The original title that Big Pun selected for Yeeeah Baby was Endangered Species, which was to later become the title of Pun's second posthumous album, released the following year.The album consist of two of Big Pun's biggest hits, the first single "It's So hard" and the Puerto Rican anthem "100%".
