Read it here. He talks about the industry, how he hooked up with Bad Boy and worked his way up, among other things.
Shay: Oh your welcome Hen-Roc thank you as well. What Bad Boy artists should we be on the look out for? Which artists currently have projects out and on deck and when and where can we obtain said ear lovelies?
Hen-Roc: Aiiight currently in stores we got Yung Joc (certified platinum), Danity Kane (certified platinum), we got Cassie (gold album), we have Diddy (platinum album) in stores right now. We got that new Diddy video which is about to drop �Last Night� featuring Keisha Cole�
Shay: ohhhhhhhh man ok ok!
Hen-Roc: ����..hot hot hot record!! It is buzzing all around the clubs on your radio stations and everything. Look forward this year to a new Boyz N Da Hood album, B-5, Cheri Dennis, 8-Ball & MJG, Biggie�s Greatest Hits coming out, you know, definitely a lot of new things coming out of Bad Boy, Bad Boy South. Bad Boy Latino too, we have this artist named Christian Daniel, so definitely check em out!
As far as the last issue of Billboard, "New Joc City" hadn't been certified platinum, so I'm not sure if that is the case.

From People:
... But the three-time winner did forget to thank the two music powerhouses who first helped put her on that stage: Uptown Records founder Andre Harrell and her first producer, Sean "Diddy" Combs. Uh, oops! ...
"... One of those people was Puffy. Our chemistry together really created the beginning of this whole big hip-hop soul thing that is happening right now. The way they dress. The way they speak. All of the songs they write. It all came from what Puff and I had put together."
Not that big a deal. I mean, yeah, it's a pretty huge omission in the scheme of her career, but everyone's human. Congrats to her on the victories.

The "latest designs" from Sean John will be featured at the HOT 97 Full Frontal Hip Hop Show on March 8. You can buy tickets in an exclusive pre-sale at hot97.com until Friday at 10:00 AM.
I'll be interviewing Bad Boy artist LOS tomorrow. Do you have a question for him? Please let me know and, if possible, I'll ask it. Thanks.
Well, maybe it's too late now, with the album coming out March 6, but they could still do it. It being making a video for "Running Your Mouth" one of the two "unreleased" tracks on "Greatest Hits". The fact is, they were released by Bad Boy as a Target exclusive bonus for "Duets: The Final Chapter". I have them. But, most people don't. For those that don't know, the song features verses from Busta Rhymes, Fabolous, Foxy Brown and Snoop Dogg with Nate Dogg on the chorus.
Add Biggie and you have a track that will have at least something for a bunch of people. So, why not make it the first (and probably only) single? Put out a video. I'm sure it would help sales. Would it help them enough to negate the cost of making the video? Not sure. But, hey, I'd like to see it!
Here are Bad Boy's positions on the latest Hot 100 chart:
51. "Last Night" by Diddy (a new high, up from 64).
54. "Tell Me" by Diddy (up from 55).
93. "1st Time" by Yung Joc (debut).
On The Billboard 200 chart this week, "Press Play" falls just 2 spots to 118.

So, the press release for the "Greatest Hits" release has been making rounds. They are really going to release a "greatest hits" collection without one of Biggie's two #1 songs. I don't know how that happens. I really don't.
At any rate, here are some quotes from the release:
"Christopher Wallace was more than an artist, he was my friend," said Bad Boy CEO Sean "Diddy" Combs. "The Notorious B.I.G., as most knew him, was a rapper, a story teller, and a prolific poet. However, many didn't have a chance to see the Father, Husband, and Man that I knew. Through his words, persona, life, and music, he was able to open doors and create opportunities for Hip-Hop as a whole. I wanted to celebrate his legacy, life, and work as we mourn his senseless death 10 years ago. The release of 'Greatest Hits' makes it clear to the world why the Notorious B.I.G. is the greatest rapper of all time."
"It's time to celebrate the legacy of the Best that ever did it," said Bad Boy Executive VP and General Manager Harve Pierre. "We realize just how connected fans remain to his classic work and wanted to issue a 'Greatest Hits' to celebrate the life of Christopher Wallace. We'll always love Big Poppa and are forever thankful for what he has done for the Bad Boy family and Hip-Hop culture."
