The
Bad Boy Records YouTube account posted video from The Source Awards when Diddy performed with Hurricane G, Lil' Cease and Nas. They preformed "P.E. 2000" and "Hate Me Now." Watch it below.
Reuters Newsblogs has highlights from the interview for
their story:
Q: What’s changed about the way the music industry works now from when you started out?
In the music industry we’ve been through some rough times, still are, but it’s definitely getting better. We used to shun the Internet now we bow down and embrace it. I think we’re getting rewarded for it. But at the end of the day if you don’t have a hit record, you don’t have hit record. You can use the Internet and marketing all you want but you still need hit records and that’s what we do at Bad Boy, we make hits.
Check it out. Good stuff.
... New York feel it in they gut
If Jay comin' back, then the world need Puff
Emotional bond to the game, I'm attached
I gave most of you dudes life, now get back
I'm the man that beef with a whole coast
Lost my best friend and still see his ghost
Your lawsuits lost, I walk through courts
So disrespectful, I spit when I talk
I recognize n***** tryin' a copy my style
But, never been a n**** this fly, holdin' it down for this long
N****, I let y'all eat for this long
Now, the kings back on the streets...

Well, I guess I have to talk about this nonsense again, even though I don't really have to. It's too "newsworthy" to avoid. I just got a quick listen to the 50 Cent diss track called "The Bomb" aimed at Diddy. He didn't say all that much, but here is the really absurd part:
Who shot Biggie Smalls?
We don't get them, they gon' kill us all
Man, Puffy know who hit that n****
Man, that n**** soft
He scared them boys from the west side'll break him off
So, who did it then, 50? He says something about some $50,000 for travel expenses on some tour, as well. Hard to really make out what he's talking about. I used to like 50 alright, used to spend money on his music. But, when he started doing this stuff, I basically introduced a 50 ban. I haven't spent a time on any of his music since and I won't. I might have to become familar with The Game, actually. I like that It's Okay (One Blood) song he put out.
Anyway, getting down to business. Speaking of business, that is the keyword. Business. This stuff is just stupid. Anyone who does business with 50 should be weary. Let me explain. Sometimes, when people talk about Diddy, they say things like "paper gangster." But, that just isn't consistent. People act like Diddy is doing something illegal or underhanded.
He's not. On the contrary, making sure your paper work is in order is what everyone should do. People act like being personally responsible is some sort of virus. I signed a contract, well, hey, I wanna leave now, who cares? That's nonsense and it's a problem. You go to work at X Corporation. You sign a contract. Period. You are held to that contract, good or bad. If you want the contract voided, you have to go through the appropriate legal steps and even then, there may not be an easy out, if there is not one in the contract.
So, 50 called Diddy and they can't agree. That's too bad because that's business. It's not being a gangster, it's simply following the contract. But, instead, 50 chooses to act like this. Knowing this, if you're a business, how can you do business with 50? How can you expect him to fulfill a contract that he signs if this is how he handles such matters? If 50 pulled this stuff with Reebok, they'd throw him into court in half a second. The only reason 50 can get away with this stuff is because people let him get away with it in this industry. In pretty much any other industry, this stuff doesn't float. 50 is trying to run a game on people. It doesn't fit. But, that doesn't mean people aren't falling for it.

According to
Life Style Extra:
The rapper and business mogul revealed he wants to bring the successful Broadway musical, 'A Raisin In The Sun', over to the UK capital as soon as "the right theatre becomes available."
From
AllHipHop.com's rumors section:
Now, I knew this, but I needed a few co-signs before I put it up. When 50 Cent was on Whoo Kid's Hot 97 show, he was upset about the way Puff won't let Mase off Bad Boy records. Well, that part we know, right? But, I heard 50 said that Puff wants to do a joint venture with Mase and G-Unit. 50 reportedly replied, "Why should I do a joint venture with someone who doesn't even produce records?" Anyway, I heard that 50 also claimed that Diddy knows who killed Biggie and wasn't talking for fear of death. He said a lot of stuff about Diddy, which is an indication that the winter might be hotter than the summer.
Assuming it's true, I have two "words." They are "lol" and "sigh." I was thinking of not mentioning this, just because 50's just trying to get attention and I don't really want to give it to him, but there you have it. I hope 50 is aware of what a contract is.
Also
according to Diddy's MySpace.com page, he'll be presenting at the VMAs tomorrow. Good luck to Joc.
According to
Diddy's MySpace.com page he is on or, at least, was on Hot 97 with Funkmaster Flex tonight. Anyone catch it?
Neat little video.

From
MTV News:
... Then it was Diddy's turn to take the spotlight. He grabbed the mic and let everyone know that his group Danity Kane will be coming in on the top spot of next week's Billboard albums chart. He also congratulated the crowd on being invited to the party, for which the dress code was "Sexy & Flawless." ...
Soon, the floor was packed to grinding-room-only status as Goldfinger threw on Diddy's "Come to Me," which he brought back several times.
"It feels good to be back," Diddy, still holding the mic, said. "I missed you. Just rock now, don't stop now. We Bad Boy baby, you ain't gotta play the wall. You can dance again. Ask a young lady, 'Would you like to dance?' "
