go to 3:25 to hear some music from Diddy's upcoming CD in the background. Sounds like the drums from All the Critics Love You in New York with some other Linn 80's Prince effects thrown in.

I hate P Diddy. When the hell will his 15 minutes be up?!

we're going on 15 years, so I guess not yet

This makes me want to scream - all these little snot nosed kids will go around thinking P Diddy came up with that and that he came up with that style.

TiMix said:

I assume by now that kids aren't listening to P Diddy.

But then, I can't really say who would be. When's the last time he put out a popular album?

When does the music start cuz i didn't hear anything that resembled Prince. In my opinion.

yeah there is a thread called Last Train To Paris ...


The show is actually good I have to admit.... but I think he knows the people know it's a Prince rip...ahahah he thinks people can't hear

TiMix said:

Mint! Can I be the exception to the rule, then?

222 said:

yeah he trying really hard too, he is SOO biting off Prince, everything about his new album is biting off Prince


no worries gang, Diddy is OLD SCHOOL, Prince is a LEGEND, carry on!

Diddy is a big Prince fan. Also he is friends with Prince. I've seen Diddy at a private party Prince threw after the BEt Awards. So whats wrong with him biting him? I c nothing wrong with it.

Diddy stalks Prince I've watched Prince ignore him calling everyone who was in the house celebrity wise except him ! he just has the means to get into places ...



random post I hope Diddy does not show up again to this years MJ VS Prince party
lot's of pomp and circumstance, we just want to party

gee that wasnt very nice

I just recently notice this. I think it's great, I want 2 hear that cut in full. It has that All The Critics Love U In New York meets Turn It Up with Autotune. LOL! I think it's cool. I think that it's great 2 have folks like Diddy, Pharrel, Questlove, Andre 3000, Trey Songs, WillIAm, Timbaland, Justin Timberlake, and others showing their influence of Prince. Prince music has 4ever changed so many people. Prince music is like no other. That Purple Music era (1982-1986) was great, nothing like it. I think Diddy did a great job with the Last Night remixes. That mix of When Doves Cry meets Erotic City was a winner 2 me. It's Purple Music and u can't hate that.

to be fair guys even if that was the exact same pattern to all the critics love you in NY it still wouldnt technically be a sample

what you can hear are linn drum sound fx and a drum pattern that points to the resurgence of 80's aesthetic in pop music production.

I stumbled upon it and watched the first episode and enjoyed it because the focus was on music and musicians. I might actually watch some more for that reason.

This reminds me of Jurassic Park where Dr Malcolm says "I'll tell you the problem with the scientific power that you're using here: it didn't require any discipline to attain it. You read what others had done and you took the next step. You didn't earn the knowledge for yourselves, so you don't take any responsibility... for it. You stood on the shoulders of geniuses to accomplish something as fast as you could and before you even knew what you had you patented it and packaged it and slapped it on a plastic lunchbox, and now you're selling it"

I think that sums up P.Diddy's career quite succinctly.

Diddy never had an original thought in his life.
Why should that change now.
As an artist he's obsolete and Bad Boy is just a tax write off.
14:58...

I was thinking the samething when I just HEARD the first weeks show of Sean's new reality show. It was so "Prince-y" Justine took that same vibe of that live band ONA vibe.

Just like all acts - everyone is 7 years behind Prince.

If true, some harsh shit.

Rinluv said:

I love it

Yeah,I saw a previous clip of Diddy in the studio,working on his new album.He's using music that sounds like it's from Prince's '1999' album sessions! I actually like this music.It's too bad that he'll probably throw a lame rap on top of it,lol.

unkleg said:

Wow, I watched that last night and can't remember that word for word like you just have. You're amazing

SoulAlive said:

You call that working ?
I just see a guy shaking his head on a repetitive 4-Bar pattern.

ChimChimBadass said:

So true.I wonder,how did this guy ever become a successful producer? What does he actually do in the studio? He uses alot of samples and the beats are already programmed.

ChimChimBadass said:

It looks like Diddly is trying to exercise his moobs off in the clip.

- or trying to hold in a wee?
