NEW YORK—On Thursday, rapper and producer Sean "Puffy" Combs released "Tha Kidd (Is Not My Son)," a hotly anticipated new single that samples Michael Jackson's 1983 smash "Billie Jean" in its entirety and adds nothing. "When I was in the studio mixing and recording, I decided 'Tha Kidd' would work best if I kept all the music and vocals from the original version and then didn't rap over it," Combs said. "So what I did is put in a tape with 'Billie Jean' on it, and then I hit the record button. It turned out great." Combs' current number-one hit, "Eye Of The Tiger," is dedicated to slain rapper Notorious B.I.G.

i can c y he couldn't improve on the original (hell, the guy couldn't improve on anything even if his life depended on it), but this must b some kinda joke, right?

That's a joke. It was written on The Onion about 2 years ago.

Why is this guy still trying to make music!
P. "LOOPZILLA" Diddy

I think some people haven't read and understood the explanation of the supposed "sample"
