From PR inside:
He says, "There's a couple of songs on the new album about my relationship with Kim: PARTNERS FOR LIFE, a story about how I met her, and this other song called AFTER LOVE.
"I'll be in the studio playing that song for her, like, 'Baby, I made this song for you.' She's like, 'You don't have to make no more songs for me. What you could do for me is start being the best man you can be.'"
As I was updating the release history page, there were a few things I noticed that I wanted to mention.
Aasim arranged a lot of Diddy's vocals.
D. Woods (from Danity Kane) is on intro vocals for "Come to Me." I believe she's the one saying "Relax your mind, let your conscience be free..." and "It's Bad Boy, b****".
"Everything I Love" is Kanye West's first production credit on a Bad Boy album.
It says that Betty Wright has "Intro Vocals" on "Last Night," but I don't hear any.
I just received the limited edition, so I wanted to talk about it.
Basically, it's a black, hard cover book with the Press Play logo on it. Inside are pictures from a photoshoot that tell a vague story. Diddy in the club, meets girl, they're into each other, they go back to his/her room (whatever) and... stuff happens... and then Diddy is praying. As a warning, there is slight nudity (the girl's butt).
After that, we have the album credits and then the actual CD. It's a neat thing.
Also, there is an insert. One side is an ad for Sean John at Macy's. The other side says that B5, Cheri Dennis, 8 Ball & MJG, Jordan McCoy and Boyz N Da Hood are coming soon.
Diddy's MySpace has a picture from the set of his upcoming video for "Tell Me", the second single off of "Press Play".
I watched it. It wasn't bad. I liked the "I'll Be Missing You" performance better than "Come to Me." Was Danity Kane actually singing? I wasn't sure.
Just watched it. Interesting program. It said that it was done on July 22 from 12:00 PM to 6:30 AM. I guess he really doesn't sleep. lol A couple of details:
Regarding the charity basketball game where 9 died. He said that everyone left, ran out of there and he was alone, performing mouth to mouth. And he said that he definitely thought about killing himself.
He said that the night before Biggie died, he recorded a record where he said "Bad Boys don't die, we multiply" and it felt strange to him for some reason.
Diddy talked with MTV about his influences in creating "Press Play":
"Conceptually, that was something in the back of my head: 'How do I move people? How do I use voices? How do I stay in my lane?' I'm good when I play a role as an orchestrator and give you different things. When you hear the unique backgrounds and the horns and the percussion, it gives you a unique thing. I pride myself on being a great entertainer."
If you'd like to enter in the contest where Diddy will plan and host a party for you, you can enter now at BET.com.
You may have noticed that Hip Hop Galaxy is reporting that Diddy is "facing" a lawsuit from producers and writers that worked on Bad Boy projects. They list "Clark Kent, Easy Moe Bee, Lord Finesse, Buckwild, Carlos Broady, the Hitmen, Loon, Craig Mack, and Angela Winbush" as potential plantiffs. They cite a story at AllHipHop.com as the source.
The only thing about that is that I don't see a recent story on this. (If you see one and I missed it, please let me know). But, I do remember a story like this a while back, so I looked it up by taking the Lord Finesse quote from the Hip Hop Galaxy article and found it. Read it here. January 25, 2006.
Buckwild said back in June that there is no lawsuit out against Diddy.
So, what I am saying is that I believe they are reporting an old story as new and I have an e-mail into them.
