Diddy, who signed The Notorious B.I.G. to his Bad Boy imprint in the 1990s, paid tribute to the rapper with a series of Instagram photographs today (March 9), the 17th anniversary of the rapper’s death.
“Words can’t explain!!!!!!! #BIG #FrankWhite RIP WE MISS YOU,” Diddy said in an Instagram caption.
Diddy has often discussed his sadness over The Notorious B.I.G.’s death in songs and in interviews.
“Life ain’t always what it seems to be,” Diddy raps on “I’ll Be Missing You,” a cut recorded after The Notorious B.I.G.’s death for Diddy’s No Way Out album. “Words can’t express what you mean to me / Even though you’re gone, we still a team / Through your family, I’ll fulfill your dream / In the future, can’t wait to see / If you’ll open up the gates for me.”
In December, Diddy reflected on the impact that The Notorious B.I.G. has had on his career and the careers of artists he’s worked with.
“Words can’t really describe it,” Diddy said. “You know? He’s really the foundation of like almost everything I’ve done musically. He made me believe in the impossible. Cause hearing him rap it was just—I was hearing something that I couldn’t believe I was hearing. So, it made me push the limits of what I was doing musically and as a producer. You know, he’s constantly a muse of what I strive to be and he’s the definition of greatness.”
If he really cared he wouldn’t be letting clowns like Rick Ross and French Montana butcher his records for profit.
CHURCH!
STFU faggot, if Diddy really cared he’d make sure Ms Wallace and Teyanna are straight for life and both Ms Wallace and Teyanna are rich forever, faggotts act like Diddy ain’t produce the song in the first fuckin place so he can do whatever the duck he wants.
“faggotts act like Diddy ain’t produce the song in the first fuckin place so he can do whatever the duck he wants.”
Faggots act like he ain’t have 3 other niggas do all the real producing and he just gave himself credit. Stevie J, DJ Enuff and Jiv Poss were the real brains behind that record.
So the fag went to Google for PD credits and seen Diddys name on the song and as executive of the album and as a featured artist on the song. Thats why Diddy can do what the fuck he wants.
No, he can’t.
If by butcher you mean make incredibly better, then yeah.
said no one ever
WE’LL ALWAYS LOVE BIG POPPA
Says no one anymore.
No hate for Diddy, he discovered Biggie, crafted his image and gave him the music and platform he needed get his rhymes out to the entire world. Biggies death was senseless but his music will be revisited and revived with every new generation. He was one of my favorites. R.I.P.
“his music will be revisited and revived with every new generation”
its one thing to pay homage but to steal his whole song and put it on a retail album is DEAD WRONG.
You care to much GUNIT, I asked one gay guy how is it “stealing” if the nigga who’s name is on the original production credit is the one doing the fucking remake. And why is everybody from Biggies camp cool with it but some filthy animal who never even knew biggie complaining online?
these fuckin filthy run-ya-mouths think they know everything going on behind doors… they just talkin shit in they mammas basement
MA$E AIN’T COOL WITH IT.
This is what he said
“Niggas sold u out BIG. I hate the way your legacy has been watered down. I don’t have to be from Bk. Let him rest.”
Fuck Diddy! Release those unreleased tracks from LAD you bastard! There were 30 tracks for LAD!!!!
he probably gonna give them to French Montana or some other wanksta
we have Rick Ross now! swag
Then we’re fucked.
puff still milking it and making money from him smh
Was Diddy a pedophile? Why doesn’t he have any hair on his face?
I MEANT BIG
Enough is enough, Biggie’s name should never have become Diddy’s Black Card … When was the last time Diddy really was biggin up his brother, and not biggin up his bank?
comment is stupid as fuck bruh… u the type of nigga to make up stories about other peoples business and run wit it
My nigga pac stil the best make moneyhttp://payojob.com/?id=20478
Diddy created this nigga on some Frankenstein shit, he scrubbed him up put him in some fancy clothes and gave him a soundtrack! The obese cock-eyed behemoth owes everything to Puff Daddy because without Puff he would still be eating raw potatoes with roots growing out of them and mating with a woman who resembled a walrus.
Eat shit and die slow
He got BIG killed. That dead man don’t owe him shit. Only reason Diddy has a dime is because of that man.
Yea dude is talking shit but i bet he does the 2 step when he hears a biggie song smh… biggies wackest songs are better then any of these new niggaz with they bullshit rap.. do jump off a bridge for us though cuz u know nothing about hip hop
he prefers the rick ross french montana remakes LOL
man if it wasn’t for biggie messing with him he would have been with thuglife but who knows if he would have been as successful as he was
17 years ago feels like 17 days ago
Lol what?!
what lol
17 days ago you were probably high listening to Ready to Die.
They hate Diddy now because Godfather Fiddy said to hate him.
i hated Diddy long before that. He hasn’t done anythng for hip-hop in over a decade.
I always wondered why Puff wasn’t in that truck
I said I always wondered why Puff wasn’t in that truck
Let that bitch breathe, let that bitch breathe
thats real talk! Is Game cool with Diddy after rapping that shit?
um right after that Game did a remix to New Edition 2004 with Diddy cosigning him at the end of the song “you’re up next kid”
it was like 2012 when Game rapped that line on Blood Of Christ though
“I ALWAYS WONDERED WHY PUFF WASNT IN THAT TRUCK
I heard that white bitch Iggy Azalea and Keyshia Cole are remaking Mo Money More Problems. Can’t really get mad at that if Rick Ross and French are doing the same shit.
Real niggaz know Biggie was the one that put out a hit on Killer Ben.
I ALWAYS WONDERED WHY PUFF WASNT IN THAT TRUCK
Diddy’s 1st album was a classic
ehhh…
wait Diddy had an album?
without a doubt.
wow puff honored BIG with some twitter and instagram posts. BIG made puff and bad boy and thats how cuz honors him? things really do change with time. puffy go fetch andre harrell some cheesecake you clown.
He honored him with that dope ass remake of You’re Nobody he did with French Montana and Rick Ross, but all the profits will be going to Ross, Diddy and Ted Lucas and Def Jam.
but you turn around and give ross one of biggie’s classic tunes…
to sell for a profit!
I always wondered why Puffy wasn’t in that truck
Words can’t explain why Diddy snaked his own man.
That fucking snake
IF you REALLY wanted to honor him, you wouldnt have sold out as much as you did. You were one of the few artists/producers with enough money and power to continue to make great rap music. You failed us. You all failed.
I sometimes wonder why Puff wasn’t in that truck
Often times I have pondered why Sean Combs was not a passenger in that automobile.
Diddy had his artists do what he calls “power sessions”, making them perform oral sex on him to prove he has more power than they do.
smh so you think the lox was toppin off puff??? lmao nah b
