Puff Daddy, P. Diddy, Sean Combs, Diddy — whatever you prefer to call him — apparently has some heavy things weighing on his heart. The Hip Hop mogul jumped on Snapchat to go off on the current state of the culture, or lack thereof. While the rant comes on the heels of the drama between 50 Cent, Soulja Boy, Chris Boy, et al., he doesn’t mention them by name, but it’s safe to assume it most likely sparked some of his intense feelings.

“I ain’t got the time, I ain’t got the time, I ain’t got the time, ” Puffy begins. “If it ain’t about going up, about being positive, about getting some money, and loving God … too much buffoonery and coonery going on. The culture is getting killed. I’m not even saying anything about it because I am just so burnt out.”
He then goes on to assert young kids “don’t even know what Hip Hop is,” before recommending they check out some Hip Hop documentaries on Netflix or YouTube. While he definitely makes his point, he isn’t just pointing fingers. He also takes the responsibility on his own shoulders saying, “I ain’t one to cast no stone, but I know when to stop … understand the power we have as cultural leaders out here to send out these positive vibes and energy.”
As his tirade reaches its climax, he finally starts to collect himself before explaining, “I just love this Hip Hop culture and I’m scared the direction it’s going … we have some of the most brilliant minds in the world, but something has to change. We’re going in the wrong direction.”

Funny… Speaking from someone who wore shiny suits dancing in all the videos.
Isn’t this the same guy who brought us the shiny suits? I remember when he had that guy following him around with an umbrella.
Like those positive vibes you had Shyne spray all over the club when Jlo broke up with you? Or the positive vibes of you whooping Drake’s ass? That actually was cool and I thank you for it.
people grow you idiot…you clearly missing the point
Member when Puffy tried to change his name to Swag?
I member. Member when Sean assaulted his sons college football coach for notnot giving his son special treatment?
He admits that he has done dumb shit to. This is good advice he’s giving.
Pepperidge Farm members.
Diddy is that nicca.
Watched that shit last night guys going all serious morgan freeman about shit lol but hes got a shit ton of points not many people get what hiphop is
hiphop has been like that ever since big money came into the picture…people like dj vlad exploit our culture for their own monetary gain…thats probably why rick ross and company put hands and feet on him…they cleaned his clock real properlike…stomped his ears together…beat him like a old virginia slave…vlad didnt even fight back…smh
Funny how Officer Ricky only gets tough around peeps like Vlad, his gardener, and big bad Keyshawn.. and that’s still only when surrounded by body guards.
wrong you idiot…you only hear about these situations because the victims contact authorities and press charges…street shyt stays in the street and you might never hear about it…you sound dumb
I read last year puffy got big set up cause all big wanted to do was smoke and drink for the most part.
This is coming from the same dude that was smack dead in the middle of the biggie and tupac drama. You ain’t got no room with all the negativity you spread back in the 90s. Get the fuck outta here.
No music at all I’m with you diddy
This guy put a hit out on Makaveli. According to his ex bodyguard the bullets meant for B.I.G. were meant for Puff but Puffs car kept going and Biggie stopped at the red light and we know what happened then. Puffy held Jadakiss and Styles-P hostage with that sketch ass Bad Boy publishing deal. He got Suges best friend Jake killed. He got those kids at the party on the 90’s killed at that college party when he sold more tickets than the club allowed and people got trampled in a melee. Don’t forget the shiny suits. He let Shine rot in prison. He’s fucked over the majority of his artists and then they “find god” I.e. (Ma$e, Loon, and Craig Mack) I mean the list goes on and on.. He’s talking shit about the state of hip hop when he low-key help ushered this era in. You’re flagship artist is French Montana for godsakes and he’s not necessarily trying to keep hip hop alive. I never comment but he’s on some bullshit.
Can’t argue with this, you’re completely right.
Tupac sucks biggies nuts
Nobody would know puff if it wasnt for biggie
You could say that nobody would know biggie if it wasn’t for puff. Puff has turned himself into a mogul, not all of it off of biggie. He is a smart business guy who knows marketing. More likely that if biggie didn’t exist puff would find another rapper to help. Tough to say that if puff didn’t exist we’d know about biggie because too many great rappers and athletes don’t get the chance they deserve because they don’t know the right ppl.
CHRIS BOY? LMAO
Puffy just angry cuz he ain’t got no artist to put in the ring with them lol.. Diddy make his artists life so horrible they find god like Shyne (converted to judaism) and Loon (converted to islam) after being on the label
Got more fire than u lame nigga
Wow, did Puffy just say something that actually makes sense ???? He right tho…but he can also do something about it. Putting artists at the forefront that can actually bring some positivety to HipHop. But you gotta be willing to invest in artists like Skyzoo, Oddissee, Monch, Black Thought.
give a nigga some money he still a dumb nigga
Take that…. Take that…. Take that…. Take that….
I Know some idiots in the comment section will say something stupid in regards to what Diddy is saying. Its you he’s talking about uneducated fools that make everything a negative about everything, He’s right you guys are killing the culture and helping the stereo types about our race.
Puff money has nothing to do with good music!
Culture is getting killed by an overkill of talentless rappers like: French montana, drake, lil wayne, 50 cent, the game etc and old rappers who still claiming tob killers and drugdeales after being in the game for 20 years. Stop the bullshit.
Culture is getting killed by dirty south rappers and fake beefs.
Culture is getting killed by CEO’s who made fake Biggie albums like: Born Again only to make money of Biggie’s dead instead of releasing unreleased material.
Culture is getting killed by sites like Hiphopdx who give wack rappers a platform to gossip.
Those rappers are doing it as Paul wall. Born again was an official biggie cd with all new music. You slow
I can’t believe some of you niggas are still running with the completely idiotic thought that Puff somehow would setup or kill his flagship artist. For what?! You the same niggas who think Suge, while in the same car, would setup Pac, as if just any ol’ street nigga would have aim like that. Mind you, Suge was hit in that incident too smh. Some of y’all need help, that’s like Belichick getting Tom Brady shot, I mean, what sense does that even make? Grow up. Yea Puff ain’t no angel, but what he said is 200% on point…
He beefs with 50 west coast drake n young money. But now it’s too much
Oooooook?
can’t nobody hold me down….
Except Your dark ass skin niggaaaa
Puffy volunteering to provide illustration for the “The pot calling the kettle black” article on Wikipedia? How nice of him!
for all the isn’t this the guy comments, sure is, THATS EXACTLY WHY WE NEED TO LISTEN
Finally. Someone please put this message on blast! We can’t keep saying that we are just giving the people what they want. Nobody ever asked for this. All these so called artists were pushed down our throat for one reason. Money. They flooded the market with less than marginal talent and just sat back and raked it in. It is 2017 people. Less than 5 percent of the hip hop artists today have something that sticks to your ribs. Its mostly filler. The art of rap, and IT IS AN ART, is rapidly being destroyed by these no talent hacks. Its time people. Time to show and prove by not spending our hard earned money on this garbage. I mean Tyga, migos, drake, 21 savage french montana etc. Really people? Come on. We DESERVE and DEMAND so much more than this.
