During an appearance on Hot 97’s Ebro In The Morning, Bad Boy Records founder Puff Daddy offered some insight into his newly-released mixtape, MMM, which was released for free earlier this week.
He first clarified that the title of the album is in fact MMM, and not Money Making Mitch, the name of a character in the film Paid In Full. Puff did speak on how Paid In Full, which he watched for the first time recently, inspired MMM.
“I was like ‘Dame Dash is the greatest,’” Puff Daddy said. “You know when you have a revelation, an epiphany? And you’re so late. It was like what I needed at that time. So, sometimes you get things in the time that God wants to give it to you. So, I was blessed with this beautiful piece of art that Jay and Dame create in the lives of these people. That was this true Shakespearean tale that came from where I come from. And in my head, immediately clicked like ‘What if Mitch didn’t die or get killed? Where would he be at right now? What if he took his skills, his business skills and street skills and applied it to the world of business?’
“It’s just redefining Mitch and how it was inspired to me,” he added. “And I feel like we all have—It’s a spirit of it. And so, I decided to make an album that really addresses it and tackles it as it’s a fairy tale. Like the present day there’s Mitches out there, but that outcome is not gon’ be the same one that was planned for them.”
Later in the interview, Puff spoke on his talent behind the boards, and revealed that as far as producing, he’s the best to do it.
“With Jay, when he wanted to get that album done, he called the best,” Puff said. “And I think sometimes that gets a little bit twisted, you know? I am the best. As far as producer, I have sold the most records. And when you back on that music game you have to let it be known just to make sure that we’re clear. As a producer. And so, that’s how I jumped into this…I do a lot of things, but when I’m behind that board it’s serious business.”

No,you are garbage
The Hitmen ghostproduced for you , don’t bullshit us please. Without Carlos “July six” Broady, Chucky Thompson, Nashiem Myrick , D-Dott , Ron Amen Ra etc you shouldn’t sold nothing. Props to the Hitmen.
With his heavy sampling of disco and pop songs, he almost single-handedly killed hip hop in the 1990s. Fuck him! I remember almost breaking a dish twice when I heard Nas and KRS One went to Puff for a beat.
Truuu!
In other words…”I waited until I could steal the Mitch concept and nobody would call me out for it”.
This dude not even top twenty producer dude funny
U just watched paid in full Ur a fucking clown .
Gtfo Nd then u say u the best please go away from music and stick to vodka and whatever else . Lame ass corny ass
It’s easy to say that you’re the best when you have a team of producers and engineers on the boards to help you out! Easy Mo Bee made Ready to Die a success not him.
#FuckPuff
In the past he was fairly good, but hasn’t done jack-shit for a good long while that’s for damn sure so I don’t know why he’s boasting like this except for headlines like this one
great
