What exactly did Diddy produce, hip hop wise? Outside of the skits on Ready to Die, easily the worst aspect of that classic album. Diddy's talent and influence on music has always been misrepresented. The fact is that he barely produced anything, had ghost writers and producers working for him, and has stolen millions from his artists. The man is nothing more than a snake and I have absolutely NO respect for him or anything he has ever done.
He's a good businessman, although not with music. His albums were selling when everyone's albums were selling. He has been completely unable to adapt to the current state of hip hop. Notice how the second it seems like he has a somewhat big record he's still remixing it to oblivion, still spending millions on videos, etc. That doesn't work anymore. Every few years it seems like Bad Boy makes a comeback off the back of a one hit wonder - remember Cassie and Young Joc? Then what happens: remix after remix, over exposure, and before you know it no one remembers them as they're trying to pay back their budget. If Cassie wasn't sucking Diddy's dick she wouldn't even be on the label anymore. I don't think she's talented, but you'd think she could have a decent career with a generic electronic beat to sing over. Yet Bad Boy can't even provide that for her.
