AllHipHop.com has part 2 of their interview:
AllHipHop.com: Do you ever feel the need to isolate your kids from the evils of the game or business?
Diddy: No, they're up on everything. My kids ask me, "Dad, what's up with you and 50? What's really good?" I gotta answer all types of questions [like], "I saw you doing this. What's that about?" It also keeps me on point to watch what I say and helps me with my decisions. It also helps you see how big you are. We are their leaders, not just my kids, but all kids. 50's son was probably the same way, "What's really good? I thought that was Uncle Puff, what's good?" You just get to a point, we all that's in the game, its bigger than us. We gotta be laying down the foundation for everybody that's got to come after us.
From Tennessean.com:
EMI Group PLC, the world's third-largest music company, said its music publishing unit signed Sean "Diddy" Combs to a new "long-term" agreement for his songwriting.
The article says that he's been signed to them for 12 years, releasing 10 albums. It makes me wonder what constitutes an album.
A quote from the Vibe Magazine article over at Monsters and Critics.com:
What about when he ran off with Jennifer Lopez? "Kim never really sweated Jennifer," Combs tells Vibe magazine, which threw him a party at Crobar. "She (Kim) was, 'Ah, you're playin' yourself. � You're running � around with your little Puerto Rican girlfriend. You'll be back.' � And she was right.
I was watching the TRL interview yesterday when they asked him for a regret and he said that he regretted passing on Ludacris
Now, I know some people may use this to bash Diddy, but the fact is, people that do just don't know how it all works. This is the case for really every big artist, whether you're Biggie, Aerosmith, 2Pac, The Rolling Stones, Ludacris or... anyone, really. Very rarely do artists get signed by the very first person who sees them, without seeing anyone else. Everyone gets passed on. In a business, you say yes to some ideas and you say no to some ideas with the best foresight possible. But, sometimes, you say no to an idea that turns out to be good - or great. That's just the way it is, it's inevitable, especially in that industry.
Just watched it. That was awesome. They (Fabolous, Diddy and Q-Tip) killed it. The Beastie Boys performance was great, as well. If you missed it, you can watch it at VSpot on VH1.com.
So, he was all over the show and "Come to Me" came in at #5.
A few tidbits:
They asked him what was the last job he had that he didn't enjoy. He said he worked at a place called El Torito's. He wasn't even a bus boy, he was below a bus boy, cleaning toilets and cleaning up after the bus boys.
The first song he produced? Come and Talk to Me (Remix).
Last song he finished on the album? Partners for Life.
There is going to be a contest on BET.com where you can enter to win a Diddy party in your hometown. Diddy said he'll plan and host the party and fly the winner to New York to talk about the party with him.
HipHopDX.com interviews Diddy:
HHDX: You are really utilizing the Internet with both a MySpace page and your exploits on YouTube. That gives the fans a lot of access into your personal life � has anyone overstepped their boundaries with a request of your time or tried to solicit you with their demo?
Diddy: Nah� no one�s really done that. You see� the beauty about the Internet is that I�ve embraced the medium with this album. But as I progressed into making the album, it grew into something more. I am a fan of the Internet and what it has to offer. And I am excited about the outcome. It started out as something that I wanted to do as a part of my marketing plan. But I have direct content that it is able to be access through the MySpace page and it is for the fans. They get inspired and learn from each other. What we�ve been doing is organic and it has turned out to be something really big and I am proud of what these ventures have meant for, not just me, but for the fans themselves. It allows me to really get in touch with the public. It gives me the ability to see what makes them tick and what they do and don�t like.
If you look at their site, you'll see lots of Diddy content, including a "Diddy" menu option in their top page.
SOHH Soulful has a video interview with Danity Kane.
Edit: This seems to be old, probably August, but this is the first I've seen it, so I'm thinking it may be new to others, as well.
