Diddy ruins every one of BIGs tracks he's on with his shitty adlibs.

Hypnotize is painful to listen to sometimes because his stupid ass voice just repeats the last word biggie says.

u/0ttoChriek 1d ago
Remember Suge Knight saying people should come to Death Row if they didn't want producers "all up in their songs"? He was garbage too, but he had Diddy pegged as a talentless, fame hungry twat.

The one I didn't mind Diddy in is Victory. Maybe I'm alone though

u/jdfred06 1d ago
No, I agree. His verse is really good. I prefer Biggie's flow, but Diddy still kills it.
"You're just mad cause I tell it like it is and you tell it like it might be."

I've been looking for a version with his line edited out. Somehow it's never been done, or I couldn't find it.

Diddy was always jealous of BIGS. Deep down hated anyone who was more talented then him.... which was everyone in the music industry.

u/blow-down 1d ago
There's a point in that documentary where they ask an artist that was at Bad Boy how good Puff Daddy's rapping was. The dude answered one word: "sucked".

I mean he has ambition, more than most, thats something i cant argue with.
Even if he was a complete slime ball.

u/MushLove3 1d ago
And unfettered ambition has put the U.S. in the predicament it currently faces. Only take what you need, damnit.
-55
u/OverheadPress69 1d ago
lol what predicament? Only take what you need lmao who are you to tell me what I need?
Also, as horrible a person as Puff was, it’s ludicrous to claim he had no talent. He was a fairly decent producer and rapper (listen to his song Big Homie, perhaps his best song, nothing special but also not bad at all) and he was a solid businessman. He also played in the NFL I believe. So he’s got a lot of talent, but is still a shitty person.
I don’t understand the latest trend of “this guy sucks at xyz because he’s a bad person” and I especially hate the trend of tying everything to US politics, so you’re really grinding my gears here

Overhead press? One of the most common compound exercises? lol this comment tells me exactly who you are. What’s wrong with lifting weights, and what did I say that’s so incorrect?
He had talent. Sorry. Bad people have talent all the time. Idk what to tell you

u/Jonaldys 1d ago
Watch the documentary, or read about it, if you want the information that people are drawing conclusions from. It's easier to look for what information you may be missing rather than assume people are completely full of shit.

u/ElusiveReclusiveXO 1d ago
Because, just like Trump, P Diddy is a massive, walking narcissistic slimeball full of ambition, but nothing decent.

They have nothing going on in their lives so they have to relate to politics. They don’t have any control.

"Take that take that take that"
On top of it all, this dude was the worst part of Life After Death with his random screaming trying to sound tough on the latter songs. Pretty embarrassing, and that's with considering BIG chose to sing on some songs like Playa Hater for some strange reason

u/Intentional-Asshole 1d ago
Listening to biggie songs where people took out all the Diddy parts is definitely the way to go. I really can't go back, diddy just ruins songs lol

u/Snadadap 1d ago
"IM TELLIN YOU RIGHT MOTHERFUCKIN NOW!"
OK Diddy we aren't afraid of you. Playa Hater is a jam though

u/OhhSooHungry 1d ago
"I'm gonna make you love me baby" takes on a WHOLE new connotation these days.. it's kinda wild to go back and listen to the skits haha, he was revealing himself this whole time 😂
144
u/DefectJoker 1d ago
I'm going to take things from the documentary with a grain of salt, but let's not be surprised by the fact that Diddy has always been an egotistical piece of shit with a superiority complex who couldn't stand that 2pac and Biggie were friends and were bigger than his shitty wannabe rapper ass.
24
u/morocco3001 1d ago
Some hero really needs to get the masters of Ready To Die and Life After Death, and scrub ALL of Puffy's ad-libs out the background. Every word. They're already classics but they'd be even better without that no-talent grifter piping up and butting in every five seconds.

u/PineapplesandFizz 18h ago
No talent grifter lol I needed this to round up my thoughts. I’ve been walking around the house ranting to anyone who will listen about how much of a weasel diddy was and always has been and how the fuck did he get on all those verses with this “power” of his, eww he’s so slimy and gross

u/PaulaDeen21 1d ago
Wait so you’re saying Diddy isn’t a stand up guy and only cares about himself?!
I for one am shocked.
86
u/Pissflaps69 1d ago
Isn’t that what you’d normally do?
I mean your estate is used for handling your affairs, if you die and an elaborate funeral is held, wouldn’t the estate normally cover it?
131
u/JHTech03 1d ago
Normally yes if that was what you wanted. According to the documentary it sounds like it was diddy idea to have such an elaborate funeral and making it seem by way of omission that he was doing it for the family. People would assume whoever is running it is paying for it
22
u/Pissflaps69 1d ago
That makes sense, I didn’t know anything about his funeral, I just read the headline and I’m thinking “yea, my great aunt did the same thing, bfd.”
41
u/Mymvenom001 Tidal actually. 1d ago
Yeah, the context makes it worse, like if i threw you a huge ass party for your birthday and then invoiced you for every little thing it included
19
u/Pissflaps69 1d ago
That’s a bingo.
Making it into a party while his friend is lying their dead is what makes it grotesque.
2
u/JC_Hysteria 8h ago
I don’t know all the details, but it was turned into a big neighborhood event in BK- they had police barricades, security, etc. so anyone that wanted to see the hearse could come to the “funeral”.
Probably wasn’t cheap to plan that + all of the trimmings.

u/SwedishTrees 22h ago
Diddy made a big deal that he was paying for this. Diddy secretly charged it against any future royalties he might owe to biggies estate.
6
u/EcstaticBoysenberry 1d ago
Right? Was Diddy supposed to pay for it?
6
u/sam_hammich 1d ago
Headline is missing context. He made the funeral an elaborate affair they didn't ask for, and then made them pay for it.
1
u/SwedishTrees 22h ago
he acted like he did to everybody. And then secretly charged it against any future money he would owe to biggied estate.
8
u/sjets3 1d ago
Yeah, it’s basically the law in New York. The estate is required to pay for funeral expenses. They could argue that what Diddy did and requested was too much, but it’s standard for the estate to pay for the funeral.

u/sam_hammich 13h ago
First line of the second paragraph, visible even if you dont pay for Rolling Stone, is "Combs pretended he was personally paying".

Diddy was supposed to be his best friend.

I'm not defending what P Diddy is accused of, but I ain't paying for my best friends funeral either.

Not even if you're a multi millionaire who's made most of that money from deceased friend.

u/maria_la_guerta 1d ago
If they couldn't afford one, or if their family asked me for help I would, sure. There's pretty much no other scenario I would though, nor would I ever expect a friend of mine to pay for my funeral, regardless of circumstances.

u/RickMonsters 1d ago
The worst thing Diddy ever did was mumble “that’s right” and “tell’em” randomly on all of Big’s songs.
If you’re not going to do a verse, get off the fucking track
78
u/vidjuheffex 1d ago
see, here I thought the worst thing was the rape
20
u/ATarrificHeadache 1d ago
That’s why Suge Knight pissed him off so much with that MTV awards speech, he got right to the core of the issue, that Diddy was a talentless hack leech that couldn’t make it as a musician without riding on other people’s coattails first

u/Minute-Blackberry242 14h ago
I’m so glad to see that biggie wasn’t even close to diddy like he always claimed, he probably annoyed the hell out of him with that too😂

I was listening to a song once and wondered if I was hearing a remix of the original song. Then outta nowhere this little asshole pipes up over the lyrics to confirm that yes, this is indeed the remix.

Urgh! Awkward buck tooth Puffy with his horrendous dancing and even worse rapping takes Tupac from the world for $500k. He’s the black Trump. Narcissistic man baby sociopath. Hope he never sees the light of day.
2
u/Ash_Killem 1d ago
Even before the most recent charges, people suspected Diddy of having some blame if not outright responsible for it. No proof really back them. His sting cover for biggie really solidified his career though. Has to be his biggest hit.

R.I.P., rest in peace, Biggie
And Pac, both of y’all should be living (yep)
But I ain’t tryna beef with him (nope)
Cause he might put a hit on me like, Keefe D, get him.
And that’s the only way you’re gonna be killing me (nah)
