Jan 12The Evolution of Diddy
This guy gets it…
This year, we saw Diddy release a really compelling dance-rap album, put the amazing Prince-esque ladybot Joelle Monae in the spotlight and publicly lament the fact that he couldn’t sign Jay Electronica, one of the most “real hip-hop” dudes out there on the cusp right now.
Ten years ago, Diddy was a punching bag for backpackin-ass dudes for whom “keeping it real” was some kind of weird religion. Now he looks like one of the more forward thinking big men in the giant tent that is “rap music in 2011″.
