Photo: Diddy Takes Over NYC's Train Stations For 'Last Train To Paris'

Photo: NY Daily News.

Diddy is taking album promotions to a whole new level. The music mogul took to the Prince Street and Spring Street train stations in New York City to promote his latest album Last Train To Paris yesterday to help coincide with the album's release.

It seems that the advertisement threw some commuters off. Most complained that the ad was confusing.

Hello, Goodmorning From Diddy + What Is His Biggest Business Mistake? [Video]

That up there is a photo taken from the August 2010 issue of GQ.

People have been slamming the photo saying that it isn't appropriate for a man of his status and age to swing from a chandelier. I can appreciate the tacky but fun nature of this photo. I would probably do the same (sans crotch shot) if I had as many 0's in my bank account.

Plus he's just being himself, so swing on Sean.

Meanwhile over at Fuse...

Diddy sat down with Toure for On The Record With Fuse. In the interview, Diddy spoke about how he came up with the name for his group Dirty Money, Biggie's final decision that cost him his life, why haters hate along with other interesting topics.

In one of the questions, Diddy was asked what his biggest business mistake was and he said...

"I think one of my biggest business mistakes was not realizing that everybody wasn't like me. Everybody didn't have the drive and determination; everybody's just not built for that. I think that some people need more time, and more nurturing...I mean artists that I've had. I've gotten older, I've become a little bit more nurturing and I've been a little more patient."

I hear Diddy only sleeps 3 hours a night so I can see why people can't keep up.

Anyway, check out the video of the interview when you...

Is There Any Merit To This 50 Cent/Diddy Beef, 50 Cent's Petition Against Diddy Seems To Say So

Yesterday, I discovered that 50 Cent started a petition on Twitter against Diddy to stop the mogul from profiting off of the late rapper Notorious B.I.G.

At first I didn't think it was authentic only because I found it to be juvenile, but it seems that the petition is very real and 50 Cent is going for blood.

Video Premiere: Dirty Money (feat. Rick Ross & Nicki Minaj) 'Hello, Goodmorning (Remix)'

Here is the new video from Diddy and his crew Dirty Money for the remix of their song "Hello, Goodmorning." The song is slated to appear on Diddy's album Last Train To Paris that has been pushed back to September 2010.

The video is interesting. I see that Diddy is looking to bring back the flashy side of Hip-Hop with the gold teeth and excessive diamond necklaces...ok.

I'm off to grab a snow cone, I craved one the minute I saw Nicki Minaj's wig....

Diddy Addresses Lil Kim/Nicki Minaj Beef: 'I Ain't Gonna Make No Apologies For Working With Nicki Minaj'

Can't say I haven't been waiting patiently for the man of the hour to speak his piece. Diddy sat down with the BBC's Tim Westwood on Friday (June11) and discussed the drama that has been taking up space known as the Lil Kim/Nicki Minaj "beef."

I'm not going to lie, it's been entertaining. But just like most things, all good things must come to an end and this one is long overdue.

Diddy concurs.

NEWS // Diddy Defends Justin Bieber's BET Nomination

The BET nominees were announced earlier this week leaving much to be desired. Most fans have been left perplexed as to how the nominees were selected. Would it be too imaginative to see them using the method of closing their eyes and dipping their hands in a bag full of names to select nominees?

There were a few people that were noticeably missing and some that had no actual business being on the list of contenders...then again it's BET and co-founder Sheila Johnson's disgust with her own creation pretty much speaks for itself.

NEWS // Diddy Says He's 'The Champion Of Hip-Hop'

Diddy is the cover boy for XXL Magazine's June 2010 cover. This marks the very first time Diddy will appear on the cover of XXL.This in itself is very interesting considering that XXL has been gracing newsstands since 1997.

Anyhow, it isn't Diddy's appearance on the cover that is worth posting on, though he is quite the sight to see. It is what he says that may raise a few eyebrows.

When discussing his worth to Hip-Hop, Diddy says:

Diddy Denies Co-Managing Nicki Minaj After Visiting Lil Wayne In Jail, Coincidence?

This is probably old news by now but it recently occurred to me how coincidental this entire situation is.

Dirty Money Performs 'Hello Good Morning' On American Idol

Diddy and his Dirty Money crew recently performed on the American Idol stage in front of a live studio audience. The performance was high energy and I love the concept of the one man two women trio, but this song is dodo at best if you ask me.

I find it ironic that they were lip-syncing on a talent show.

I wonder what Simon would say if it weren't Diddy performing the song. Hell, I wonder what he said after the cameras were put away.

The bright side is, you can always count on Diddy being entertaining; however, so far this Last Train to Paris album is losing my interest.

Video Premiere: Trina ft. Diddy & Keri Hilson 'Million Dollar Girl'

Here is the new music video for Trina's song "Million Dollar Girl" that features Diddy and Keri Hilson song.

The video is very glamorous and fancy. There isn't much to say about the song as to me it is a safe bet. Keri and Trina look great while Diddy looks..well...like Diddy.

Psychic Says Diddy Needs To Be Careful Of A Shooting in 2010

Though some people may have their reservations about psychics and other clairvoyant individuals, I happen to think that they are not all full of it.


SideBar: Thanks to Ms. Cleo of the 90's, some people find psychics to be as true as free rent.

This one psychic that goes by the name of Nikki placed her predictions for 2010 in regards to world events and celebrities. Now, some of her predictions proved to be true this year such as the passing of Michael Jackson, actors Patrick Swayze and Farrah Fawcett. She also predicted the plane crash over the Hudson in NYC.

DIDDY GETS WAXED

It is always an honor to be made of wax by the Madame Tussauds museum. Diddy was given the honor yesterday when his waxed figure was unveiled in NYC.

Isn't it crazy how accurate the creators are?

Diddy's mother was right by his side for the unveiling wearing her signature fur coat. One thing I will say about mama Combs is that she is consistent and could care less what anyone has to say about her.

Good for her, bad for the animal that had to die so that she could keep warm.

VIDEO PREMIERE: DIRTY MONEY 'LOVE COME DOWN'

Here is the new video from Diddy and his group Dirty Money for their song "Love Come Down".

The video was pretty good at the beginnning but towards the end it became a little busy, it was good nonetheless. Judging by the comments, people are not really feeling the song. I happen to think the song is fire, the beat is hard.

Two things I learned from the video:

1. Diddy is attempting to bring grills back, but I think we've moved past that phase in Hip-Hop and...

2. Diddy is having a little 90's nostalgia with his fade haircut with the part in the front, that brought back hella memories.

Video Rating: A yummy B.

Yummy Pix, VMA edition: Beyonce, Kanye, Diddy, Cassie & More

Beyonce hit up the red carpet with this naughty but nice red siren number. Her leg game is clearly on point....
Alicia Keys was in attendance as well. Though her makeup was flawless and hair gorgeous, her dress wasn't it. For some reason it makes me crave Swiss cheese....
Kanye West and girlfriend Amber Rose were there with guest (the Hennessy bottle that made an appearance via Kanye's stage rant)....
Diddy along with his Dirty Money crew. No one can wear a suit quite like Diddy...
Cassie wasn't far behind channeling the Asian vibe.

Video Premiere: Dirty Money-Angels

Here is the new video from Dirty Money for their song "Angels" . The group is made up of Diddy, Dawn Richard, and Kalenna. I believe this song will appear on Diddy's Last Train To Paris which has a release date for early 2010.

The song is friggin hot! Diddy took it back to the 90's when Bad Boy was running things in NYC. He even samples a snippet of Biggie's verse from "My Downfall" off of Life After Death which gave "Angels" more authenticity.

The video is very raw and artful. There is something appealing about seeing a wealthy person in the projects, I am impressed.

Video Rating: A yummy A.

Diddy had a random moment

So.... in true Diddy fashion, he dropped a jewel that most definitely would have flown under the radar. I won't blow this up into something else but my goodness how juicy!

I always knew Mike was a little bit of a rico suave in his own way, how else would you explain the crotch grabbing and pelvic thrusting moves?

Speaking of Diddy, he took the time out to introduce us to his brand new group he put together called Dirty Money which includes himself, a singer named Kalenna, and Ms. Dawn; former member of Danity Kane.



I see he is still making empty promises about Dawn putting out a solo project.

Seems interesting but for some reason I feel Last Train To Paris is going to flop horribly. There is nothing about the theme that appeals to me and from the material that I have heard (minus "Diddy Bop") I'm not yet impressed, only time will tell.

Video Premiere: Various Artists-Better On The Other Side

Here is the video for "Better On The Other Side" that featured The Game, Chris Brown, Polow Da Don, Boys II Men, Usher, Mario Winans, and Diddy.

I love the fact that they compiled actual live moments of fans reminiscing, so sweet.

Video Premiere: Cassie ft. Diddy-Must Be Love

Here is the new video from Cassie featuring Diddy for her song "Must Be Love" off of her album Electro Love coming soon.

Did you peep the subliminal message behind it? Not to rebel in gossip but... uh huh. The video was OK at best. I was expecting so much more from it. The song is simply fire and a great video to match it would have done wonders for her. The only interesting part about it came at the very end when things were set on fire and water started to bubble in the glass cup but other than that boo boo and boo.

I do have to say that Diddy did a great job at producing a beat that cushions her modest vocals, the song gives her great versatility but again the video could have been better; even low budget videos can be show stoppers.

Video Rating: A yummy C.

M.Y.'s open letter to Diddy

Dear Diddy,

There are some things that have been troubling me as well as some of your close and personal fans. I have been asked the same exact question time and time again from music fans and the occasional observing music listeners that are a little perplexed at the current and past situations that always involves you; and that question is, why can't artists last on Bad Boy?

Now I have to admit, when Carl Thomas went missing, I took a very solid oath that I would refrain from admiring artist that were signed under Bad Boy out of fear that if I so much as liked them, they would vanish like condoms at a brothel; but unfortunately, I let my guard down when it came to friggin' Danity Kane.

And then it happened again, you disbanded the group (although I'm sure they wouldn't want to be a part of the group judging by their attitudes during the rap-up live airing of Making The Band 4) but dammit what the hell happened?! Is Bad Boy Records kryptonite to rising artists?

I have been a self-taught "student" to the music business from the time I could speak the word "billboard" so I know that the music business can be a little shaky (remove the letters "ak" and replace with "d") and not everyone is cut out for it's harsh realities; but why is it that a good majority of your artists never make it past 2 albums? It always seems to be the same fairy tale nightmare with Bad Boy Records and the artists that sign to it. We either never hear from them again or they go on to have lukewarm careers (ahem, Slim). Everyone seems to drop off of Bad Boy like flies, except for B.I.G. (rest his soul) and... well...you.

Words can not describe the amazing music mogul you have become. You have branched out to do many things and have inspired a lot of people, even Russell Simmons himself; and because of that I have to tip my hat off to you. However, It is astonishing how people are still interested in signing to Bad Boy given your track record of dropping them like bad habits before they can even get their feet dirty in the industry. Not to mention, there are a few of your ex-artists that have gone on to write diss records towards you and a tell-all book (ahem, Mark Curry) and still you seem to continue to prosper.

On behalf of the music fans that care, we ask that you sign artists that you think are going to last more than 3 years and stick around for the long haul, it is only right. Let's start here, I am actually starting to kind of like Day 26, can you please keep them around? And you said that you will be looking for another all-girl group, can you please pick girls that can actually tolerate each other?

In case you haven't noticed, people would like to know why artists can not last on your label, so let's try twittering that.

Sincerely,

M.Y.
