Bad Boy and Death Row labels are skeletons of what they used to be. Bad Boy is basically nonexistent due to Diddy's entrepreneurial selfishness; and Death Row is now owned by Snoop Dogg, and he's turned the label into an NFT peddling platform
@@DFRNTVIEWSTV he co produced her first album and jodeci's first album Arista gave Puff financial capital so he created a subdivision aka Bad boy records
Once he profited off of Biggies catalog he knew he could kill artists careers off and keep the money. Total, 112, Loon, Mario Winans, Mase, Craig Mack, Shyne, The Lox, Craig Thomas,DIrty Money, Black Rob, Danity Kane, Day 26, Da Band, Cheri Dennis, B5, MGK, French Montana, etc. He promoted and endorsed on artists dime. Charged them overhead, keep royalties, make deals, promote positivity, and blackballed certain artists.
That doesn’t make sense as he’d make more money off of successful artists. You act like the sole reason these artists didn’t make is because of Diddy. It’s much more complicated than that.
Yeah but you was so alive but he definitely won't be with bad boy he wanted out he started the commission and that's why a lot of people think that Diddy wanted him gone. It's kind of odd that Tupac died couple months prior and strangest thing is when Park went to the studio in New York and got shot by Jimmy Henchman Biggie had no clue puffy daddy was in the studio. I absolutely believe that Diddy had a hand in Pac and Biggie s death
This is what makes me mad that he still so repeated by so many artist today like he be all hype talking bought how black ppl need to be appreciated by the award shows and all that but he didn’t treat his artist right and I don’t really respect that. Great video
Right? He’s always talking about love, positivity, and how we gotta stick together/look after one another. Yet he’s super slimy! Just look at the way he talked to them on Making The Band..
Yep Chromical Speak, What's the tea sis ? RU-vid Channel also Mark Curry his ghost writter pointed this out in his book on how puff burned the bad boys of hip hop.
“Any artist that wanna be an artist and wanna be a star without the producer all in the video, all on the record, dancing, come to Death Row.” -Marion “Suge” Knight Circa 1995
The saddest part about Death Row and Bad Boy’s success back then was the opportunity of the 90s That was all hard copy CD/Cassette/Vinyl Sales off the Rip. They all had enough to be well off and even potentially help further other dreams and opportunities of others artists.
That's a thing most don't really realize. They were in a great position back then but it goes to show you that when you are faced with greed, it's always gonna own you
As cliché as it may be, you should do Tupac next. For his legacy to be what it is, his impact outside of music could’ve been so much greater for the next generation had he lived to see 40.
There were talks that if he stayed in acting he would have eventually been nominated for Oscars. He had a strong outlook. Personally, I think he would have left Death Row and moved onward. He looked like he was before his passing despite the altercation at the Tyson fight. Sadly, we will never know cause of his life being snuffed out before it got started.
@@tuff3jay that’s just a bar off my favorite Kanye song devil in a new dress I didn’t mind mase going to be a pastor I kinda like the welcome back album
Love the video. Mase isn't a hypocrite though. He is authorized to come back into music. Cam'ron ambushing him during Welcome Back, unwarranted. Diddy should have just paid him what he earned and entitled to. Mase does exceptional work as a man of God but it isn't publicized as much. Mase is speaking up more and it isn't out of bitterness. It's out of what's right.
It was people in the entourages who pulled them apart...mainly Pac's...more than 3 or 4 people in interviews have said that Biggie warned Pac about doing business with Haitian Jack and Jimmy Henchmen because he was from Brooklyn!
@@BigDapPacino there's a video of biggie freestyling to a Warren g west coast beat at a death row gathering he fit well doing west coast bars I was around during that era it was rare to see a east coast rapper do a good west coast flow or vice versa It's very common place now
I’m telling you, biggies death was preventable, if he never went to Los Angeles, He would still be here right now.. The entire bad boy crew was warned not to come to Los Angeles, but they did anyway, even Mrs. Wallace didn’t want him to go either.
I'll say this: if BIG was still here, he and Puff would NOT be cool today. Big was noticing some of Sean's snake ways before he died. You have to be a crummy person to do EVERYONE who's on your team dirty, and that's who Sean Combs is...
Him and Lance " Un " Riveria had a deal with Atlantic Records for their " Undeas" label with Junior MAFIA and Lil Kim releasing albums...that basically Biggie was orchestrating by coaching them how to rap in the booth or writing their verses...phase two of that movement was scoring a more lucrative deal with Universial Music Group...the Commission album with Jay Z and Lil Cease would have introduced Charli Baltimore and probably Cam'Ron...who was brought to Biggie through Mase after they left Big L's entourage...Biggie was probably going to do 2 more albums with Bad Boy and probably " retire"...do guest verses for a year or two and sign himself to the label he helped build but after Biggie in 97...those plans fell through and Un was not a mastermind like Biggie!
They would be cool I think Big would have just been even better at discovering talent on his own label. Similar to what Jay did with Rocafella but I think Biggy would have discovered some people that actually never got a chance and would have changed the game forever. I do think that him and puff would be cool just would never do business again.
@@BigDapPacino Biggie supposedly was gonna go to death row after his "Life after death" album to and yes he would of fit in there's a video of him doing bars to a Warren g west coast beat in 95 with Tupac, Snoop, Suge and Korrupt, he fit perfectly in that environment
Would be dope to see a video about Blu. He was one of the hottest up n coming rappers in 07 when he dropped the classic Below The Heavens, but never capitalized off that attention and success. I feel like he was J Cole years before J Cole.
My thing is , if you sign with Bad Boy you know what you are getting into. His track record should tell you something. ITS YOUR FAULT IF YOU SIGN YOUR LIFE OVER, period!!!!!!
Just a reminder, Biggie gave puff the name Diddy & he was gonna write for puff & be his manager just as puff was for him. Then he was gonna sign cam & do the commission
I guess we can’t agree The Lox and Young Jeezy we’re lucky being that The Lox had Ruff Ryders to back them up and Jeezy was more Jay Z artist at Def Jam as a solo artist while signed to Bad Boy as a group artist with Boyz N The Hood
Young Joc was signed to Bad Boy...never Young Jeezy...he was a Def Jam artist and from what we discovered later on...Diddy allegedly screwed him several times business wise and physically too!
@@shauncameron8390 i agree too an extent chingy never made one dope diss record and dtp wasn’t hurting when he left luda went on to win a Grammy like right after chingy was a singles artist at best powerballin only sold because jackpot was so dope and mfs were itching for new chingy and besides pulling me back nothing ever stuck
Mase did NOT leave Bad Boy because of Puff. Mase got into it heavy with a street nigga from Harlem by taking his girl. Which is why he made “Jealous Guy”
Bad Boy had the whole 90s on lock. But you know what? No Way Out should have never won that Grammy. Three of the best songs on that album was with BIG on them. Wu Tang got robbed that year. Wu Tang Forever was way better. Both discs. Listened to it a week ago and it still holds up. Diddy always tried to get his shine on at the expense of his own artist. Look at every Bad Boy video. He's always in it, either there or dancing in it. He ruined every artist he has ever encountered and I believe he was the one who got Biggie killed in LA. Indirectly. But nevertheless, killed
He was the one that told him to go to Cali especially the song going back to Cali that was a huge mistake after your enemy dies but not even a year later people still grieving you just show up it was bond to happen because they thought he shot up pac the first time
@@Jac735 he also admitted to help push the west coast east coast beef myth (yes it was a myth it was a marketing ploy) I don't think he killed Biggie but he definitely profited off of biggie's death , I think his success after biggie's death is why no one pointing this out publicly until the last few years once bad boy started losing their clout
@johndez5213 Well brother perhaps Mase was serious about being a Christian preacher at the time, however Mase certainly backslided away from being a Christian preacher to re-signing to Bad Boy in 2004, then signing to G-Unit the following year, now he has a sport podcast show with Cam'Ron.
@@naaimshareef I understand all that, but how does that effect you? Hes gettin to the bread the way he knows how, shouldn’t effect our personal lives whatsoever lol
Growth stunt #1. Puffy is a businessman . He's going to do what's best for P.Diddy and his brand. Puff going to put himself in front of everybody. He don't care about friendships, feelings, morals, and treating his artist fairly. Stunt#2. I felt he never got a great rap or R&B artist in the 2000's to keep creating hits. All his great rap or R&B artist was signed in da 90's.
Big didn't bring Mase to Puff and Bad Boy though. Puff found him in Atlanta when he was trying to audition for Jermaine Dupri. He wanted to sign with So So Def but Puff seen him first and had him audition and signed him.
A lot of you may not know this, but Diddy was VERY jealous of his artists! He, himself was also signed as an artist to his own label. So when he wasn’t selling or putting out hits like his counterparts, he started being shady! I noticed this with Danity Kane!! He potentially had one of the biggest selling girl groups of all time, they are still in the Guinness Book of World Records as the only female girl group to debut #1 consecutively on Billboard Hot 200! Diddy put an album out around the time of Danity Kane’s release and THATS when you start to notice the RUDE, MEAN, and HURTFUL comments! That’s when you noticed the girls starting to speak up due to them knowing their value! Especially Aubrey!! He couldn’t take the fact that they were going to be bigger than him and that label, so he fired them! He’s a narcissist!
You should do one for aftermath records, so many talents such as Rakim,stat quo,cashis,the game, raekwon,busta rhymes,Eve and hittman all signing on there but couldn't drop a single album except busta who dropped one. Please please please. Do it mate
He didn't fake being a preacher. He really fw god. so disrespectful dude. plus he was still getting publishing for writting diddy verses. he got richer after leaving the satanic industry and like he said, he can GO AND COME AS HE PLEASES‼️ Who else can do that?
That's wrong Mace was known to sleep with women who were involved during his first bad boy run and one of them was a big time drug dealer who put a hit out on him, so he "found god" So the man didn't come after him (even on the streets it's not a good look to kill a preacher in America)and after that man passed mace went back to the bad boy mace
Right Quincy Jones tried that with Michael Jackson after his death and Michael's fans called him out and he retracted everything he said Compare that to Michael who said nothing but nice things about Quincy even after they stopped working together
Puffy`s mom said in a interview that when Puffy was young she lied to Puffy about his father dying, because she was afraid he might have negative influence on him. I guess cause Puffy`s pops was a big time gangster.
That word "legal" cracks me up... slavery was "legal" at one point.. just cause it's permissible doesn't mean it's right smh.. great video.. puffy wanted the limelight way too much for himself.. these dudes literally made him a star by writing entire albums and he can't look out financially for those same artists? Where's that at in the contract? He owes them more than that...
If you’re a fan of the Netflix series “Top Boy” and the character, Dushane (real name Ashley Walters), then pls do a stunted growth of So Solid Crew. So Solid Crew is the UK supergroup which he was part of, back in the late 90s/early 2000’s, under the name Asher D. Some members of the crew even beefed Dipset to the point Cam’ron got banned from performing in the UK to this day.
Ms Dynamite and Goldie...I think they rolled with them too...I think Vin Diesel's indie movie debut " Strays" ...featured them and the Garage meets Gryme and Jungle UK music scene circa 1999/2000!
Going to bad boy is like going to the Knicks lol career 💀 didn’t objective is to make his family rich. Also he does the same thing every record owner does it’s just messed up because he’s black.
Puff Daddy P Diddy Diddy Sean Combs whoever his name is give Mase his publishing man like he said he put the label on his back and I've witnessed as a fan back in the days when B.I.G died Mase held that shit down debut album Harlem World selling 4 million copies come on man and writing all the hit songs and for Puff Daddy debut album No Way Out
MMG Records/The Fallen out between Meek Mill & Rick Ross GOOD music/Pusha T, Big Sean & Kid Cudi leaving the label The Old Bricksquad/The Fallen out between Gucci Mane & Waka Flocka Flame. OJ Da Juiceman & Waka Flocka could've been way bigger in the 2010's. Waka Flocka Flame could've still been at least relevant today.
@@flygenyus2186 Agreed. Him & Waka couldn't miss. When Slim Dunkin died it seems like Waka career died right along with it including him & Gucci fell out it messed up his career imo.
@@kahjeemwilson9452 word i mean he did put out round of applause but after that it’s like he just said fuck rap & went to edm. I’m kinda surprised Waka never pushed Cartier kitty from that snakes in the grass song or his bro Frenchie
@@flygenyus2186 nah fr Waka Flocka had some dope rappers in his crew BSM. I guess they didn't get that proper push to get mainstream exposure on their own without Waka.
@@flygenyus2186 Flockaveli is hands down a classic. His second album was no where near as impactful or even great musically as his debut. His second one seemed too commercial & wasn't as raw & uncut as his first one.
Do a stunted growth video on 50 and G-Unit Records they were hot for a while and then they started fizzling out and now 50 is sorry and nothing like he used to be.
You can call Diddy anything to everything BUT accusing him of he had sumn to do with Biggie's death is sumn serious... Diddy loved biggie believe it or Not even Biggie's mom said so after Mase's claims...📌
puffy didn't know how to find more artists. you can say that he gave lesser artists a chance to shine but he needed a star or 2 to carry the label and he never could do that. just mediocre or average acts
