  • Diddy Announces Music Industry Takeover, "Bad Boy Rap Is Gonna Comeback This Year"

    Hip-Hop mogul Sean "Diddy" Combs has announced an industry takeover courtesy of his Bad Boy Entertainment roster and promised a return to the company's past "rap" classic.

    Speaking via an on-street interview, Diddy revealed the artists who would help lead the label's comeback.

    "Bad Boy, you know, we making a comeback," Diddy promised in a video. "We have been gone, we making a comeback with this Gorilla Zoe. We got this Yung Joc record, I got this new Cassie, 'It Must Be Love,' we got Day26, we got myself. We got Janelle Monae...Bad Boy rap is gonna make a comeback this year. We gonna make a comeback this year...Also, can't forget about E. Ness...We got a whole great stable of artists." (World Star Hip Hop)
    He recently appeared at the Core DJ's conference in Atlanta last weekend where he expressed Bad Boy's importance.

    "Bad Boy is important," he explained in a video. "We have not sold out and all this stuff, we trying to do these types of records over here and those, we make Bad Boy records. And that's preserving your brand, and the thing that's bigger than Bad Boy is we are the last label standing. No disrespect to the other labels, but there is no Roc-A-Fella. There is no Ruff Ryders, there is no Death Row. So if this label doesn't make it, this is the last of the labels and that means nobody else can come out with a label. Then it just turns into production deals." (YouTube)
    Diddy's label has helped oversee some of hip-hop's most renowned emcees.

    The biggest hip-hop impresario of the mid-'90s, Sean Combs -- known as Puff Daddy both here and in the world of rap until his professional name change to P. Diddy, then just Diddy -- created a multi-million-dollar industry around Bad Boy Entertainment, with recordings by the Notorious B.I.G., Craig Mack, Faith Evans, 112, Mase, Black Rob, Shyne, G. Dep and Total all produced and masterminded by Combs himself. (All Music)
    Aside from music, Diddy will co-star in the upcoming film, Get Him to the Greek.

    It centers on an outrageous character from Forgetting Sarah Marshall, the out-of-control British rock star "Aldous Snow," and "Aaron," a music-company intern, who must accompany "Snow" to a concert at L.A.'s Greek Theater. Combs has been cast as "Sergio," the head of the entertainment company for which Jonah Hill's character works.


    He says no disrespect to the other labels like deathrow etc. I just think the time of him doing this is strange. Because deathrow is getting a fresh start and hopefully comes back like back in the day. But maybe hes just tryin to get ahead if deathrow comes back and does good. I dont know what do some of you think.

    just a quick update so will see if he makes a comeback with badboy.

    Yung Joc has confirmed reports stating he is suing Diddy's Bad Boy and Block Entertainment over "outrageous clearance fees" plus unpaid royalties and advances for his first two projects.

    The Atlanta-based emcee broke down the specifics behind his lawsuit.

    "I haven't been paid any royalties since I've been out, after over a million albums sold," Joc said in an interview. "For my first album, they gave me a $25,000 advance when I was supposed to get more...Then I had a million dollar budget for my second album, never even got an advance off of it. For the third one they hit me with another $25,000, like I'm some chump in this sh*t. And I just got tired of it...Diddy said he's got to stay out of it because it's between me and Block Entertainment. I was never signed to Block Entertainment, but they've been interfering with a lot of my business. I feel like [Bad Boy] isn't doing anything to try to intervene and help the situation." (Billboard)
    News broke out earlier this week of Joc's decision to file a lawsuit against Diddyand company.

    Joc plans to sue both labels due to contractual situations, unpaid royalties and advances and of course, lack of support. Joc says he's even paid for his own PR, never got advance money and even says his former management (9196, owned by Big Block) got him in a "360" deal taking a piece of his money from every angle. SO what will happen? Time will tell. (Rap Basement)
    Former Bad Boy artist Mark Curry recently wrote a book on what he calls Diddy's "shady" practices.

    "Even worse, Puff charged the artists for his appearances on their records and in the videos, usually without their realizing it until they received their royalty statements," the first chapter reads. "That's when they discovered that a large sum of their money had gone to fees which were doubled, tripled and even quadrupled because of Puff "special guest appearance. He charged artists, for example, for having his Bentley in their videos -- which he insisted upon -- then took a tax credit for business use of the car." (Dancing With the Devil)
    Joc's relationship with Diddy began roughly three years ago.

    He later hooked up with Russell "Block" Spencer and his Block Enterprises label and released the hard club track "It's Goin' Down" in early 2006. The track became an Atlanta favorite and eventually landed on the desk of Sean "Diddy" Combs. Spencer had already brought the group Boyz N da Hood to Diddy, and with Joc sounding like the very hot Young Jeezy and T.I., Diddy felt he had the right artist to take his fledgling Bad Boy South label to the top. Spencer inked a multi-million dollar deal with Bad Boy to sign Yung Joc and his label Mastermind along with Spencer's own Block Enterprises. (All Music)
    Diddy has yet to release a statement to the media.
