In the latest video posted on Diddy's MySpace.com page, Diddy is getting ready for the VMAs and he goes through a bit of his skin care regimen. Some funny stuff. But, when he goes over over his secrets and mentions number 3 (at 1:02), he throws a little subliminal back at 50 Cent. Watch it below. To quote:
Number 3, boys and girls, is one of my biggest secrets. A bubble bath. Now, I know some of you gangsta (coin drops) rappers out there, y'all don't take bubble baths. But, you need to start. So, you can slow down and think about what you're saying. Oh, yes, you do.
And then he makes kind of a, if I had to describe it, serious smile.

TMZ.com has a video of Diddy talking about his election into the Walk of Fame and also Press Play. Not much we didn't already know, but there you have it.
We don't know all of the details, but I think there are a couple of simple facts. 1. Mase has signed a legally binding contract with Bad Boy. 2. 50 Cent hasn't offered enough, in Diddy's eyes, to trade for Mase. So, with that in mind, I am going to simplify this argument a bit. Throw out anything you think about Diddy and 50. Clean slate. Pick a piece of property that you own that has some sort of value. Now, imagine this scenario:
Some Guy: "Hello, I want to buy that piece of property that you own. How much?"
You: "I want $500 for it."
Some Guy: "Well, I don't want to pay that. I'll give you $300."
You: "No, sorry. I want $500."
Some Guy: "Just give it to me for $300."
You: "No."
Some Guy: "Despite the fact that it is your property that you have a right to sell at the price of your choosing, I'm going to pretend that that isn't true and I'm recording a diss track."
You: "Have at it."
Some Guy is 50 Cent. You are Diddy. Mase's recording rights are a piece of property. If you still think Diddy should just let Mase go or go for whatever 50 Cent is offering... I'd like to visit your house and buy some things.
A couple of days ago, I picked up a few books on The Notorious B.I.G. from Amazon.com. These included The Murder of Biggie Smalls, LAbyrinth, Unbelievable and Ready to Die.
As I was flipping through Unbelievable (which looks very interesting), I couldn't help but think: man, I cannot wait to read Diddy's autobiography. You have to consider everything he's done, everything he's accomplished, everyone he's been around and everything he's gone through. It's astonishing. I hope that when he steps back, maybe 10 years from now or whatever, he does write one so that we can find out more about what happened and see it through his eyes. And when he does, I will be one of the first to pre-order it.
If you missed their appearance (minus the video, you can watch it on YouTube.
The funny thing is that if you go to 7:28, you'll see one of the hosts (don't know her name) cut off Diddy and, maybe he's just playing around, but it seemed like he didn't care for it. :) You hear him say "oooookkkkkkkkk" shortly after she does it. Then he laughs it off and says he'll take it easy since their new.
From SOHH.com:
Pharoah has also been busy penning songs for Diddy's new album. He wrote three joints on the LP, saying that the Proactive pretty boy requested him and that the two had great chemistry while working on the project. "He basically told me that he wanted to get really introspective about his pops and that he wanted to talk about his inhibitions and the things that bother him."
The Bad Boy Records YouTube account posted video from The Source Awards when Diddy performed with Hurricane G, Lil' Cease and Nas. They preformed "P.E. 2000" and "Hate Me Now." Watch it below.
Last night at the VMAs, Hype Williams was honored with the Video Vanguard award. It was cool because when they started to air a sort of montage of videos that he has directed, the first 3 that they displayed had Diddy in them (and he was shown in the screen). They were "Big Poppa," "Flava In Ya Ear (Remix)" and "Hate Me Now." Then there were two videos without Diddy and then there was another one in "Mo Money Mo Problems."
When you consider how far back that goes and how those videos helped propel both Hype Williams and Bad Boy, it was strange that he didn't thank Diddy, but did thank Jay-Z, Nas, Kelis, Beyonce, Busta, Missy and others. The last two were understandable, given that they were part of a bringing the videos life thing where Busta performed "Put Your Hands Where My Eyes Could See" and Missy performed "The Rain (Supa Dupa Fly)" with Timbaland, both of which were cool to see. Still, it was strange given the number of Bad Boy videos has done. I don't like to read into things, so I'll guess that it was just an omission.
Congrats to Chamillionaire as he is the winner of Best Rap Video, beating out our own Yung Joc. Too bad.
