Maybe if they took more than seven days to do an album, they’d have a hook for this one. This one ain’t for me. The track makes me seasick.

Here’s another leak off Nip Hussle’s Bullets Aint Got No Name Vol.3. This is probably the first joint I’d give a thumbs down to.

Article has been all over the Internets the past few days. Interview coulda been hotter, but my favorite quote is the following, it’s a sentiment I can easily relate to:

“I hear it all the time — ‘Yo, he should let the young guys, the new

generation of guys come in.’ But you don’t become the front-runner in

music because someone lets you. You have to claim your shoes.”

Shit, I wear 12′s and I’m irreplaceable like Mrs. Carter. Ha!

Puffy talks to MTV about his forthcoming derailment disc, Last Train To Paris.

“The train is coming,” Diddy said. “It’s coming, it’s coming.

Right now, it’s like Jay-Z time and Drake time. Enjoy those guys. But

the train is coming. Get your ticket. You don’t want to be left out.”

Actually, I do. I’ll walk from here.
