Howsmyrolling.net has an interesting interview with Daniel "Skid" Mitchell, Bad Boy's Director of A&R. Here's a sample:
When submitting their material, what is the most common mistake that artists make?
The most common mistake is not following up, and also some people take it very personal if you don’t contact them back. Sometimes I meet artists and if you’re not interested they don’t hit you anymore…just follow up with people. Especially if you have contact with someone like an A&R keep them updated with your music as you progress, because you might not be hot today but you might do a song tonight that if I hear that song it could make me say ‘man, this is the person I would like to deal with,’ but if I don’t get that song then all I know is the last stuff you brought me.

Earlier this month, Diddy commented from the set of the "Angels (Remix)" music video shoot that Rick Ross sounded like Biggie on the track. Power 105.1's DJ Envy had Ross on and asked him about the comparison.
"That's most definitely big," he said. "But I want New York City to know: I'll never get it twisted. The magic that Notorious B.I.G. created could never be duplicated, you know what I'm saying? But, that most definitely was my mentor, that's who music I wrote to the most. Hearing that come from Diddy himself - that's big, you know what I mean, and it's inspiration to keep making hot music."

In an interview with Paul W. Arnold of HipHopDX, Styles P revealed that, while the deal isn't done, The Lox that Diddy is the only person that they are talking with, right now, about releasing their third album.
"Nah, we talking to Diddy, we ain't talking to nobody else," Styles said when asked about other labels being in the mix. "Ain't no need for us to talk to nobody else."
