Toronto-based blogger Mr. Will-W. was at the Diddy/Dirty Money show on Sunday and posted this gem of a clip of Diddy running through a medley of hits. To say this clip gets me excited for the April 24 show in Norfolk is an understatement!
As an aside, you'll see songs that go beyond what we previously talked about in the set list post. As mentioned then, the set list may vary by show and, also, with so many songs, it can be easy for concert goers to miss a song or two. Among the new songs is "Been Around the World," Jim Jones' "We Fly High (Remix)" and "I Need a Girl (Remix), Part 1."
Mr. Will-W. has a review of Diddy/Dirty Money's stop in Toronto on Sunday night. This includes the footage below of "No Ordinary Love," the tour exclusive that mashes Sade with Dirty Money.
According to the Maybach Music Group store, Diddy will be featured on the upcoming collaborative MMG album (Rick Ross, Wale, Pill and Meek Mill).
The track is called "Pacman" and it is by Pill and Rick Ross featuring Diddy. It was produced by Young Shun. Earlier this month, a Diddy-less version of the track was posted on the Maybach Music Group Facebook page.
In that version, Ross name checks Diddy. "Blew a mil ticket, one night at King of Diamonds - me and Puff Daddy, b****, I'm the king of diamonds," he rhymes, referencing his birthday party in January.
Tonight is the night: Diddy's appearance on CBS' "Hawaii Five-0" is tonight. It'll air at 10 PM ET. Check out the video below to see some clips from the episode, set over Dirty Money's "Coming Home."
Steven J. Horowitz of The Boombox reports that, during an appearance on HOT 97, hosted by DJ Absolut, Diddy was asked to name his five favorite rookies and lyricists.
When it came to lyricists, it was Rick Ross, Jay-Z, Lil' Wayne, Fabolous and Drake. Diddy said that he would take Fabolous over Drake, if it came to it as he "would have to roll with the home team if I had to leave somebody out."
Dirty Money spoke with the Boston Herald about the tour, the dynamics of the group and what Diddy has told Dawn Richard and Kalenna, in their quest to gain a wide audience.
“It sounds corny, but you get out of it what you put into it,” Diddy said from Chicago. “I tell them all the time that I don’t have magic dust to make them a star. They’re out here to make themselves stars. Will.i.am had to make himself a star. Beyonce had to make herself a star. Kanye had to make himself a star. There’s nobody that’s gonna be able to sprinkle some magic dust on you. It has to come from within.”
James Reed of the Boston Globe has an interview with Diddy, touching on the inspiration for "Last Train to Paris," the appearance of Grace Jones on Dirty Money's "Yeah Yeah You Would" and more.
Q. You have an all-star cast on this one — from Lil Wayne and Justin Timberlake to Usher and Drake — but how did Grace Jones end up on this album?
A. We had a show with her in Rio [de Janeiro], and I go to her brother’s church. It was a whole six-degrees-of-separation thing. I had met her one other time a long time ago. We just had a vibe. I picked up the phone and called her. I sent her the record, and she was like, “I loved it. And you know I don’t do anything with anybody.’’
Some folks, like BBB commenter Meme and myself, are wondering what the set list is for Diddy/Dirty Money's "Coming Home Tour." I'll be at the April 24 show in Norfolk, VA, so I'll know soon enough. It is possible that the set list may vary slightly from gig to gig, as well.
They are opening the show with a substantial portion of "Last Train to Paris." According to Spencer, it goes in this order: "Intro," "Yeah Yeah You Would," Waka Flocka Flame's "O Let's Do It (Remix)," "A** on the Floor," "Strobe Lights," "Last Night Part 2," "I Hate That You Love Me," "Your Love," "Yesterday," "Angels," "Loving You No More" and "Hate You Now."
