On today's 106 & Park, The Lox joined Diddy on stage to bang out "It's All About the Benjamins," sans Lil' Kim and The Notorious B.I.G. It was a great performance. After it was over, Diddy, Sheek and Styles P. hung around to talk with the hosts, Terrence and Rocsi. Highlights:
Jadakiss and Diddy both spoke of each other and the group affectionately and Jadakiss recalled the mid-90s Bad Boy days, comparing them to Jordan's Bulls. Jadakiss said to look out for Diddy on some remixes to tracks from his album, out today, "The Last Kiss."
Terrence asked them if they could do a 2010 "Benjamins" remix and Diddy and The Lox said that they definitely could. A funny moment was when Rocsi looked at Diddy and asked if there would be another Lox album, like the group was still signed to Bad Boy. Diddy laughed and said, off mic, something like "it's up to them."
Of course, then Jadakiss jumped on stage with Nas and rapped lines like "What if Shyne beat the case?/What if Diddy did a dime flat?" Heh. But, the show was definitely very enjoyable for Bad Boy fans. It was, I would say, somewhat surreal. But, it's not out of the blue or anything as relations between Diddy and The Lox have been softening for a while. It was only a matter of time.
BET.com has back stage video and the
last episode of P. Twitty TV was back stage there, as well.
BET.com has backstage video from Diddy and The Lox's appearance on BET's 106 & Park today. Pretty funny clip (it gets funny after the middle).
According to
Diddy's MySpace, he'll be joining The Lox on BET's 106 & Park today to perform "It's All About the Benjamins." The show starts at 6 PM ET.
iPhone users, Diddy has a new, free app for your phone. Released today in Apple's App Store, it promises Diddy's Twitter stream, the ability to upload your photo for a "mosaic app" due out this Summer and "Last Train to Paris" related news.
I don't even know what to say about this.
On Twitter,
Clinton Sparks mentioned that "Ciroc Star," a track off his upcoming mixtape with Chester French, might leak on Sunday. The song is by the duo and features Diddy. I said that
I was looking forward to it,
assuming it wasn't an April Fools joke and he said that
it wasn't.
Update 2: This was an
April Fools joke!
Check out our
audio player for the first single from Diddy's upcoming album, "Last Train to Paris." It's called "The Last Train" and it features Dawn Richard and Aundrea Fimbres of Danity Kane, as well as T-Pain. I really love this track. It could be a huge single.
Back in February,
I reported that Diddy was putting together a three person band, including himself, for the "Last Train to Paris" album. Then, in March,
Melody Thornton of the Pussycat Dolls said that Dawn was in Diddy's band. It stands to reason, then, that Aundrea could potentially be the other girl. A request for comment from the label was not immediately returned.
On
his Twitter, Diddy mentioned that he has done a new track with
Simian Mobile Disco. It's unclear, at this time, what this track was for.
