Puff and the Diddy bunch cover VIBE‘s 15th annual Juice issue. The mag hits newsstands on August 16th, but VIBE has an excerpt below. Dr. Dre said that the last beat that floored him was “All About the Benjamins.” How does that make you feel? It’s humbling. I was in the studio with Dre the other day.
