Can’t Stop, Won’t Stop: The Legacy of Sean “Puffy” Combs

From being Father MC’s backup dancer, to being an intern at Uptown Records back in the late 80’s/early 90’s, to becoming one of the world’s biggest hip hop moguls. Sean “Diddy” Combs, the man behind the greats like Mary J. Blige, Jodeci, The Notorious B.I.G., Faith Evans, 112, Total, and more, the man behind the music that all started in 1994 when the birth of his label Bad Boy Records started. Bad Boy is not only legendary for its roster of artists but it was a part of the East Coast/West Coast beef that took place in the mid-90’s along with Death Row Records. Musically, Diddy is the man and Bad Boy was shit. If you’re a Death Row fan, we might not get along. LOL! Growing up, Bad Boy took over my apartment. There was Biggie, Faith, 112, Shyne, Carl Thomas, The LOX, Mase, the whole crew, non-stop playing on the radio. Now business wise, I’m not a fan of Diddy. It’s just a little suspicious to me that artists come and go. The most we hear from an artist on Bad Boy from the past maybe 10 years is 2 to 3 albums tops, 5 hot singles, 3 or 4 music videos and then we never hear or see anything else after that. Regardless, Diddy is the go to man for the hottest party records of the year. He knows how to get a party started and he’s definitely a successful businessman whose on of hip hop’s biggest moguls with a legacy that never dies. In his words, “Cause we can’t stop, cause we won’t stop. Bad Boy 4 life!”
