![]() This time, we were like, “Bro, we’re just gonna tell him we changed it.” He comes in the next night. “Nah, y’all ain’t getting it.” He sang it again, and left again. He came back the next night, listened again. ” He looked at me and said, “You know what I’m talking about, Mike?” I told him, “Yeah, I know.” So we changed it. Sure enough, he was like, “I can’t sell this. The joke is that whenever Puff says, “run that back,” it means he didn’t like what he just heard. He came in and was like, “Lemme hear what y’all did.” He’s nodding his head, but then he stopped it and said, “Yo, run that back?” We had done at least eight hours of work on this one song. One night, we’re in the studio, and Puff comes in at 2:30 in the morning. We write the song, and decides who sings what. Mike (112): It takes a long time to record a 112 song because of all the harmonies. Like, literally! And he’s a terrible singer! “Hey, try this here.” If there was anything I’d ever want a tape of, it’d be him singing in the studio like that. He wouldn’t necessarily tell you how he wanted the record to sound, but if he felt something at a certain part, he would sing it. He looks at me and he goes, "They ain't gonna think it's fake on Diddy.”Ĭarl Thomas: In the studio, I would definitely call him the General Patton type, you know what I mean? He wants you to understand his vision, and it’s very structured. He was like,"Wait, these are fake?" And the woman was like, "Yeah, these aren't real." And he was like, "Wait, hold on, let me see this one right here." It was one for him and so he puts it on and we're looking at it and we're both marveling at it. There was something really unique about them and I remember him asking, "Hey let me see this one." He picked it up and he was looking at it and then the price tag was there, and the price tag was something like $2,500. So there are all these really nice boutiques and we fell into this one boutique and there were these diamond watches and they were really beautiful. He went in town to get the mother of two of his children a gift. It wasn’t even that much money! Like, five, ten thousand dollars! Shoutout to Puff.įonzworth Bentley (Diddy’s former personal valet): We were in Saint Martins on vacation this one time. It would have been easier if he had just paid me, though. ![]() ![]() He was persistent-that’s what I like about him. And he paid what he said he was going to pay. At 1 o’clock in the morning, I was still heated, but I was like, “Fuck it,” and I dipped to the shoot. “I’ll have your money tomorrow!” He got his man on the phone about it. He started at 9 A.M., and just kept calling and calling. I wasn’t going there unless he gave me my money. So when it was time to do the video, I wasn’t with it. Ghostface Killah: We were supposed to shoot the video for the “Special Delivery” remix, but by the day of, Puff still hadn’t paid me some money he owed me. Even when we did our hardcore shit, that party era-you miss it so much. Bad Boy makes party music, and I kinda miss that.
