Is anyone anticipating the new Diddy album?

xp neither am i--but i can't believe that he was making music this good in the bad boy heyday when he was massive and everybody paid attention to him.

I'm not familiar enough w/ diddy's ouevre really. all I remember about him from the 90s was the jimmy page collab lol

his 1st record is classic -- hes a weird figure because hes accused of both exploiting ppl for his gain (true) but is undoubtedly responsible for putting them on, too -- hes linked to the careers of two of the 90s most significant artists in Mary J & Biggie .... he basically designed biggie's second record

xp well it's not necessarily about making good music as it is about making ambitious music, to keep it within the confines of deej's point

deej,

just because something is ambitious and weird and different doesn't mean it still can't sell well. Linkin Park record debuted at #1 and sold gangbusters and is a hueg departure for them. Chem Bros. def had some some of the same psych textures as their early stuff but absolutely none of the funk. It was like a glossy Neu! record

and yeah see I would love to read more hands on stuff about diddy's behind the scenes machinations like in life after death xxp

i mean the perfect example w/ his debut album ... its like the major-label version of a late 90s mixtape. on the one hand, 'benjamins' was a hit at the tunnel & he excised a verse to get his own verse (written by biggie i assume) onto it, then he rereleases it & it become a national smash ...

also, yall

battle of the egomaniacal, pan-genre overproducers w/ albums of shimmering genius that i want to drown in '10

deej, stop saying tunnel, ffs

thanks BW!

i wish someone would write a 33 1/3 on 'life after death'

also what is the general consensus on the role diddy played in biggie's death? it kinda makes me uncomfortable when he goes "you know you woulda took the bullet if you saw it" in 'coming home'

he had a great ear for talent & a symbiotic relationship with it ... he was behind g-dep, black rob, shyne. they all ended up getting churned out -- g-dep's a drug addict & in prison for murder, Shyne spent years behind bars, black rob too. of course, its not diddy's fault black rob is supposedly a klepto or w/e, and its not his fault g-dep cant get off the pcp. the shyne thing, thats kinda fucked

but he put money into those guys & they released some classic rap songs ... how would things have been w/out him, who knows. Were the Lox helped or hurt by ditching bad boy? idk about that either

deej, stop saying tunnel, ffs

what?

it was totally relevant, wtf is your deal

you say tunnel on ILX like Homer says gummi

i dont even know what that means

you say stupid shit on ilx like homer says doh

deej is a total tunnelhead

me too, but fuck

lol i was making a joke on your behalf tbh

but "fuck" what

lookin at shyne's wiki - is the deal that he took the fall for diddy or what

yeah thats basically the assumption i think

supposedly

tunnelly enough

i mean, basically he was good at bringing different talents together and throwing money around like bruce wayne. he lived a calculated millionaire street dream lifestyle & used it to connect a lot of different artists w/ opportunities, a lot of times to further his own career, but in a way that obv worked well for some of them too. and some of their lives turned out tremendously shitty, and he fucked them over (there are a lot of artists who claim this). but u gotta give him this, he has vision

he should've sent everyone itt one of those 40k copies tho tbh

youre reaching dude. the only meme this could inspire is that u are really bad at busting ppls balls

heh, are there any record labels known for NOT fucking their talent over

keep responding to me, deej, since i'm so bad at busting balls

^^^ i cant imagine biggie putting this track together -- obv he wrote all the lyrics, but the epic overreach of it is trademark puffy, even tho he didnt do the beat, didnt write the raps, inserted himself w/ someone else's creative work ,etc. doesnt matter -- rtc called it his 'curatorial flair' -- to me this new album is amazing & great but its also like a career capstone. any rap fan who was in h.s. like me & al were in the late 90s were banging the shit out of puffy-affiliated ish by the time big died

keep responding to me, deej, since i'm so bad at busting balls

im more upset at you wasting space dude, stfu

he also invented the remix

it's just a couple of posts, deej. i think you may have tunnel vision

take it to the ha-ha hole

guys you're wasting space! before you know it this thread will be full and we won't be able to anticipate the Diddy album anymore!

well naturally some dude & whine would be the ones defending a trainwreck tangent that no one else really gives a shit about

hey guys remember when it was, like, about the music, man?

because until whiney started forcing zings it still was

guys stop arguing about this shit and tell me did diddy kill biggie to generate more sales or what

I wanna know

the impression ive gotten is that suge did it

but maybe thats what they want you to think

It seems pretty much accepted that David Mack, a disgraced LAPD officer and an associate of Suge Knight, pulled the trigger.

However the motives of Mack - who was also known by the name Craig - have never been successfully determined.

lol

theres something kindof egocentric abt whiney and deejs endless beef i mean i dont wanna be all "i dont use too much space on a messageboard" but like srsly its like this total lack of self awareness that ppl might be bored of you

im entirely bored of it

clearly
