"Every one new that cuban link was gonna provide for us after the death of his best friend pun so this was always gonna be a dope cut but we ended up getting double that and more the lyrics not only are strong through out but the beat is tight. This single is for people who are fans of pun,cuban link and just about any one with a taste for hip hop even if you dont like hip hop too much this is a cut that will touch you and have you reachin for the re-wind button you can't help but feel this tune!! Have a look for cuban links album 24K 'cause thats gonna be dope for sure R.I.P CHRISTOPHER RIOS A.K.A BIG PUN"

"Yo, Cuban Link is one of the best rappers I've ever heard. He's got dope lyrical skill and he can come up with some ill beats... he's one of those artists who can be featured on an album an outshine the featured artist... Flowers for the dead is a good tribute song. I give him props for putting his feeling for Big Pun on a track like that... It takes courage to talk about death especially if it is someone close like they were..."

Cuban Link- Flowers for the Dead

"Its rare that I find need to review a single as alot of the great ones can be found on albums. However "Flowers for the Dead" is one of the nicest tribute songs ever to come out. Felix Delgado aka Cuban Link drops his realest track ever for his best friend Christopher Rios aka Big Punisher who was also his half-brother from another mother. The track is actually the lead single for Cubans album 24k which never made it onto the market because of record company problems. Cuban describes watching his friend dying, praying and being unable to help him, while flashing back to their past. Then Pun is dead, and Cuban describes how he keeps on hearing his brothers voice. Remembering how talented his friend was, and how Pun was always there to look out for him and how he would make sure Puns wife and kids would be taken care of. All throughout the song, chorus of flowers for the dead is sung, Domingo provides additional vocals for the track. With this single, Cuban expresses his feelings of losing a brother, on behalf of the entire Terror Squad Family. Cuban and Pun were best friends, so it was only natural that when Pun died Cuban unleashed his pain on the mic, letting the world know just how much his brother will be missed. Tracks like this are what make hiphop great. Hopefully the world will wake up soon, and realize that Cuban Link is a worthy successor of his lost friend. Since Puns death, Cuban has left the Terror Squad (not by his own choice) and is currently looking for a record company to produce his next album. Two important things to say, first is R.I.P. Big Pun, second is dont sleep on Cuban Link he is a very talented artist, who just needs the right promotion."
