The official title for his October 3 release is now simply Press Play, an ode to Puffs vow. Listening to Diddy rap in the same monotone flow he's had for years-not to mention his anemic songwriting-is a distracting. NEW YORK Diddy has scrapped the PDV (PD Five) album name hes been working with for the past year.
His singing on the latter leads me to believe that someone's taking the rise at the listener's expense - the monotonous off-beat vocal delivery sounds like it was sung by a Little Britain character and ruins, well. Press Play, his first album since 2001's The Saga Continues, is a reminder that whether he's named Puff, Puffy, or Diddy, Combs has a keen sense of what makes a good pop/hip-hop song but that he's also a middling rapper. Puffy trys something new by doing an 80's Prince sound on "Special Feeling" and "Last Night" (with Keyshia Cole). The album's highlight, "Everything I Love", is produced by Kanye West, with Gnarls Barkley's Cee Lo's instantly recognizable vocals, and the always impressive Nas flowing like only he can.

The militant "The Future" and eerie "Hold Up" are both excellent, mainly because there're written by Pharoahe Monch - who by the sounds of it also gave Diddy a step-by-step on how to impersonate a real rapper. Even Mr Diddy himself boasts that he cares more about writing cheques than rhymes, so we shouldn't be surprised that the results are so mediocre.īut, given the fact that he's bought in the best talent money can buy, there are still a few stand out tracks. And it would be, if Diddy wasn't 'rapping' on any of the tracks. With an array of fabulous artists and hot producers(including Christina Aguilera, Kanye West, Timbaland, Jamie Foxx, The Black Eyed Peas' Wil.i.am, OutKast's Big Boi, and Mary J Blige) 'Press Play' should be magnificent. He is the entrepreneur mogul of the Hip-Hop era goddamnit! And still he wants to give us more. Sean Combs is CEO of Bad Boy, he has the Sean John Clothing line, his own reality show, owns a restaurant and even has his own fragrance. See who worked on Press Play by Sean Diddy Combs on Jaxsta, the story behind the music. / I bought that n album in seventh grade and played it so much / You would’ve thought my favorite rapper was Puff.
