The Psychology of Diddy (Chapter 3 - Beef)

Comments

I was part of that NYC hip-hop scene. I saw Sean shoot guns in clubs, and the rumor about him killing Tupac is this. The fight was a ruse to set up the murder. And Sean was going around offering money to kill him. I have seen him in person many times, and he has dead eyes. He wears those sunglasses because he can't look people in the eye for long, hates to be stared at, and doesn't want people reading his thoughts.

My husband said he saw a Jay Z party where a woman tried to come in wearing an off white shirt, and they turned her away. It's gotta be allow white!

I believe one of the most common theories as of late is, Biggie was planning to leave Bad Boy. The positioning of him as Pac’s rival was all Diddy. Biggie was deeply saddened by his death. From what’s been said, Diddy was jealous of Tupac (the rumors are bizarre) and Biggie admired Tupac. He made Biggie drop Who Shot Ya after the elevator attack on Tupac in NY. The rivalry grew and Biggie was actually making moves to leave the label. Then there was the forced West Coast appearance that lead to Biggie’s murder. He was supposed to be in Europe (?) I’m def getting some details wrong but the overall message still stands, Diddy’s jealousy put a wrench in the budding relationship between Biggie and Pac, and when Biggie was fed up, he had him killed.

This is just my experience growing up as a black bi-racial woman in the Bay Area in the 90s who predominantly listened to hip hop. I don’t know anyone who thought Sean Combs had any talent other than finding people with talent and then putting himself in their videos too much. He sampled too much, he couldn’t rap, couldn’t sing, couldn’t dance, mouth always wide open. Songs he featured on were listened to in spite of him and not because of him. The Bay has its own subset of hip hop culture, and Sean Combs was noooot popular in any of my circles. You would have a E-40, Celly Cel, Mac Dre shirt but no way would anyone wear a Putf Daddy shirt. He was definitely seen as a self promoter that just piggy backed on more talented artists.

Let me say that the history of the music and movie industry is backed by organized crime. Suge knight was a straight up criminal and member of the bloods that got involved and his associates with rappers by friends ships some were their drug dealers and rappers at times needed protection. So you hang out with with street dudes. Eventually the 2 groups blend and work together. But this is nothing new in the musuc industry. Please do a show on burning sun case in south korea it is A HUGE case of kpop raping and drugging women.

Kirk and Berto, please review Bad Bunny’s new album! It’s 💣 and I’m sure many would appreciate your perspective. Also, it would be a nice palate cleanser from this topic. 💜💚

1) P Diddy didn’t ask for permission before sampling the song. He got permission after the release however. https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-news/diddy-sting-uncleared-sample-payment-1234710483/ 2) I listen to hiphop/rap, but I don’t know much about the culture. However, I’ve heard NatalieLawyerChick (YouTuber, defense lawyer) talk about it. She described rap battles (beefs) as part of the culture, and something that helps to develop the genre and its artists, as well as helping their music to get out there. According to her, rap is an inherently competitive genre. This might be obvious for Americans, but I thought I should mention it in case there’s some non Americans out there who haven’t seen this aspect of the rap battles/beefs. 3) I’m not sure if it’s confirmed that the baby oil was laced. Based on a quick search does it appear to be allegations stated in lawsuits and claims from his former body guard. There’s however no concrete evidence or legal confirmation that laced baby oil was found in the raid of Sean’s house that I am aware of. But maybe there is - it’s just what I found after a quick search.

Heh
