As the latest artist to grace the cover of GQ magazine, Diddy served up a bounty of insight as part of his feature story with the monthly men’s magazine.
The Hip Hop mogul discussed the feeling “old Puffy” had when he discovered The Notorious B.I.G. From there, he was asked if there are any current artists who give him the same excitement Biggie did.
Diddy’s initial answer to the query was “no,” but then he named one of Hip Hop’s biggest artists.
“Kendrick Lamar,” he said. “But Kendrick’s already made.” He also added that K-Dot “gives you that feeling of Biggie.”
After marinating on the question for a moment, Puff then rattled off Drake, SZA, JAY-Z, Nas, Migos, Lil Baby and Future.
Later in the interview, Diddy talked about a new app he and JAY-Z are working on. He explained the app will allow people to find black-owned and black-friendly businesses in their city.
“This is not about taking away from any other community,” Diddy said. “We’ll still go to Chinatown. We’ll still buy Gucci! But the application will make it possible for us to have an economic community. It’s about blacks gaining economic power.”
Diddy also discussed depression, coping with Biggie’s death decades later and more.[apple_news_ad type=”any”]
This dude really needs to stop using this to get his name on hip hop sites. Ur irrelevant in rap bro just stop and go make money somewhere else.
Some of those pics are looking real sus. Im getting fruity pebble vibes.
I know that’s right…??
Kendrick Lamar, if you’re reading this – stay away from Puff Daddy. He will fuck up your life.
Kendrick and Big are nothing alike artistically. Completely different in every component of hiphop. With that said, Puffy throwing in Migos, Lil Baby, and Future says enough about his answer. He mentioned one of the current biggest hiphop artist (KL), one of the current most pop rap groups (Migos), and also mentioned Drake, JayZ, and Nas. This dude is the definition of d!ck ridin! Puff destroyed hiphop in 95/96.
When I hear K.Dot I get that feeling of a Snowflake wit his SJW bars
You spelled “Eminem” wrong.
Don’t forget this the same dude that changed his name to ‘Love’
And he had a studio called “Daddy’s House” back in the day.
Thats not good news fpr kendrick, it means he’ll try to have kill too..lol
Didn’t he also say the same shit about Ross

Dag. Not one positive comment in the section. What is happening to Us?

Queen Diddy ,Ms Thang we see you go girl LOL !!!!!!!!!!!!!
The artists today which are most like Biggie is easily Drake or Jay-Z. Kendrick’s style is more like Nas or Ghostface. Drake probably even more so has the perfect “in-the-pocket” flow like Biggie mixed with quotables and pop appeal. Plus (the kids today have no idea) but Biggie and Puffy were often dismissed by backpack hiphop as pop and R&Bish just like Drake today but of course, hiphop heads who actually knew how to dissect bars knew Biggie had mean bars and couldn’t be dismissed (just like Drake can’t today either)
Drake is fucking over hyped trash. Comparing him to Biggie is an insult you fucking fool
Biggie is trash and so is drake
Diddy there’s “NOTHING REAL or LOYAL” about YOU…. I just seen how YOU had B.I.G. set up just so you could stay on TOP…. People like YOU I wouldn’t WANT TO BE AROUND….. Never know when your going set em’ up….. I.P. education…. HOW CAN YOU LIVE WITH YOURSELF? KNOWING WHAT YOU DID? AND HOW YOU WENT ABOUT DOING IT….. “DANCING ALL IN THE VIDEOS”…
