Sean Combs is a Renaissance man. I have observed mostly from afar his evolution from music magnate to fashion force. In all his roles, Combs, known these days as Diddy, has been on the forefront of pushing hip-hop culture into the mainstream. He is a record producer, entertainment mogul, writer, arranger, designer, actor, singer and three-time Grammy Award�winning rapper. And at age 36, Combs is worth an estimated $315 million.

Patrons of Sunday night's Soul Food party at The Forge were in for a big surprise with the unannounced fashion show of Azzure and Indigo-Red Denim's clothing lines for men and women at Glass. Venus Williams, Andre Harrell, Zack Crocket, Greg Anthony, Mitch Richmond and DJ Clue were there to show their support of the new chic and trendy clothing lines. Also there that night digging into the soul food were none other than Puff -- er, Diddy, who just shot Making the Band along with mega-producer Timbaland. There were, of course, cameras following Diddy while he did so.

AllHipHop.com: So the hook actually turned out to be the last thing, right?

Yung Joc: Exactly, and that�s why I tell people, there�s no protocol in making a record. It could go either way, you could�ve written a hit song before ever hearing the track, you never know. I had to go home and sleep on �It�s Goin� Down� for two days, then I came back and dropped the hook. Matter of fact, we were getting ready for some big party and I�m at the studio trying to come up with a hook or something to make the song right. It was just me and Miss B [of So So Def fame], Diddy, and Chino Dolla were in the studio Everyone left to go get some outfits for the party, except me and Miss B. When they left I made up the hook and I got her to record me, so by the time they got back the song was finished.
