New Tell all Book on Diddy's Business Practices Coming Soon

50 Cent's website thisis50.com reported that there will be a a new tell all book about Sean "Diddy" Combs business practices will be coming out soon written by Former Bad Boy rapper Mark Curry.

Here's an excerpt from Curry's book "Dancing With the Devil":

"Puff charged the artists for his appearance on their records and videos, usually without [them] realizing it until they receive their royalty statements. That’s when they discovered that their large sums of money had gone to fees which were doubled, tripled and even quadrupled because of Puff's 'special appearances.' He charged artists, for example, for having his Bentley in his videos-which he insisted upon- then took tax credit for business use of a car."

Read chapter one for free @ http://www.markcurrybook....pter_1.htm

Hopefully this book leaks so we can all read it for free, lol.

I wonder if he'll cover Diddy's special parties.

He ain't putting new flags anyway.

Folks already know that Pimp Diddy ain't exactly a saint.

In fact, considering how much of a publicity addict he is,,,,,this book will serve as another means of promotion for him

Sidebar: Here's a Snapple bottle cap question... if JLo and Marc broke up, do you think she'd hook up with Diddy again?

Has anyone gotton more with less?

I don't understand why he's still relevant.

That ain't unusual. I mean, that's the record biz. Lot's of shady accounting. LA Reid, Dupri, Mike from New Edition, there's others out there. That is just the way it's done.

I don't understand why he was EVER relevant.

JackieBlue said:

Totally. I think she misses the attention and wasn't trynta be a Long Island housfrau with twins.

He used to be cool when he was just 'Puffy Combs', and thanx to him I have Faye Evans and Mary J to listen to.

But after Biggie died, changed his persona to Puff Daddy & P.Diddy,,,,he treated himself as a package for sale.

WORD. Dude doesn't even know how 2 program a drum machine, and he nearly single-handedly ruined hip-hop and rap. Shit, Craig Mack was the best artist he had, and he built Bad Boy records with the $$ from Craig Mack's "Flava in Your Ear" and "Get Down", which were produced by Easy Mo Bee and Mack. Then what happened 2 Craig Mack? Biggie "no skills" Smalls.

Did Puffy do Hypnotize? If so, I'll give him that along with Flava in Your Ear, One More Chance remix and Faith's first album and some MJB mixed it. But that's about it. He can gather his toys and go home now.

Superhead already exposed those.

I heard all the tracks he was credited for, he was just a ghost producer for someone else. Hell Mary J.'s first album, What's the 411? wasn't even fully produced by him, neither was My Life (Chucky Thompson produced it) but in that one, Puffy began to get to put his name in the credits. He probably can credit himself for the samples on that record. Easy Mo Bee and some other dude produced BIG's Ready to Die, I think Chucky also produced Life After Death.

For real

If you watch the movies "Why Do Fools Fall In Love" and "Dreamgirls", its showing you what ghost producers do to collect royalties for those songs.

Oh I seen it and I definitely got it. Alan Freed did it for years with Chuck Berry and shit.

Puffy was NEVER cool

bboy87 said:

Puffy was always an ass. He was never "cool". He was the corniest son-of-a-bitch I ever heard. That's why at the time when Missy and Timbaland were around for the first time, I'm glad they didn't sign to his company. Puffy would've treated him like they weren't shit compared to Biggie. Tho Timbaland is now as annoying as Puffy Bitch.

If you sell your soul to the devil, you dance with him, too, until he chew you up and spit you out. Those who left, made a wise choice.

This isn't the stand up comedian Mark Curry who used to be on "Hangin with Mr. Cooper"...is it???
