Has anyone reached harder than Diddy to stay relevant in the game?

what the fuck is T/S talking about, Puff is one of the only players in this game that has truely been on top of his shit for over 2 decades.....

it's a cold stiff game them cats are playing and Puff is a shrewd genius that plays for keeps....

niggas shit on dude but when they realize how cold and shady that game is they wish they were able to play the game the way holmes does.....

 

[choppa_style]

Jay? Are you'all serious?

How about Dr. Dre? He flat out admits that he doesn't do the shit he raps about and just keeps making those kinds of songs to make money.

so Jay ain't quick to hop on tracks with niggas who are currently hot @ the moment??



righhhtttt

And he only jumps on tracks with new hot people? And what does that have to do with anything? He still sells records without gimmicks or completely abandoning the elements that he's had since he started.

 

[down2earth]

Puff does jump on whatever is hot, but i don't think he really is reaching. Most cats love the exposure from having Puffy on one of their records. And like previous posters said, he loves remixes and shit.

 

[manofmorehouse]

Say what you want about Puff, but the dude got $550 million and is pretty much great at staying relevant. Niggas need to be studying his moves

 

[trilladelic]

yall act like puff didnt go in on that 'o lets do it remix'..

 

[Stew]

Diddy is the GOAT at this. Cant even hate cause he aint even an artist and people pay him to hop on their track.

 

[young chad]

Dont matter though, Diddy and his Ghost writer killed each track which makes him relevant without having to reach!

 

[FyHunnit]

What ever he's doing, it works.

Diddy cops maybachs like white tees.

 

[FyHunnit]

Diddy is the GOAT at this.

This.

And Diddy ain't a rapper either. He's on the other side of the mic. He doesn't have to depend his rapping skills. LOL, this nigga can stumble into the next big thing any damn day.. Hell, he could even do another Making The Band. He already dominated that market anyways. Hoping on remixes? shit, thats just extra $$$.

He'll forever be a relevant hip hop figure aslongs are there's rappers rapping.

If Diddy so happened to post in the IC Rapper Thread tomorrow, the Reason would run out of default avatar pictures cause of guest signing up for a Bad Boy chain.

 

[young chad]

Yea this is a #ThreadFail because Diddy IS the remix..and not only is he the remix but he IS hip hop relevancy..there isn't a single person in hip-hop with a longer reign at the top than Diddy...no matter what, everything he co-signs becomes an instant hit..the minute he stops endorsing it, it falls off never to be heard from again...what you SHOULD be asking is, is there anyone that these flash in the pan artists run to more than Diddy to remain relevant?! Shit Diddy outlasted, Biggie, Pac, Nas, Snoop, Dre, Eminem, Suge Knight Busta Rhymes and everyone else that came and went with the "instant" drop a song and get the world talking buzz...whenever I see Diddy on a remix Im just like "man this nigga does whatever he wants"...you dont have to struggle to remain relevant when your net worth is approaching a billion off the shit that people say you're struggling to stay relevant in. You know Diddy is that nigga when he STILL got mofos signing them Lox/Mase/Faith/Mary J contracts even after ALL them mofos done told yall how Diddy gets down lol..

Jay-Z isnt trying to stay relevant WTT went plat and Bp3 went plat.

Snoop's last platinum album came in 04'

 

[YamoleySensei]

If Jay isn't trying to remain relevant, WTT would never exist...

It's funny how over a decade ago he wanted Kanye to be just an in-house producer and was never onboard with him rapping, Dame took that chance with Kanye and look what happened...fast-forward to now and its Jay riding Kanye's coattails and playing his lackey.

and Snoop's blatant dickriding is disgusting, that old pot smoking coon would co-sign anybody...

bet you if this ugly muthafucka decided to rap

Snoop's gonna be the first one to hop on his single

 

[1CK1S]

Snoop & you can also make a case for Nicki (though she's still fresh into the busniess)!!!

 

[ds.williams]

LL Cool J...not recently though...50 Cents is a close second

 

[Seansosa]

To me snoop just got lazy with his flow

 

[RawAce]

so we really gonna act like Fat Joe aint go from


to


to


c'mon sun

that fat nigga Joey Crack has been everything thats poppin at the moment

came out hardcore and rugged,switched to mafioso for a minute,then hop on the Mudrer Inc train, then him and Busta turned into Floridians, got lil wayne on a hook while that was hot, then got a chris brown single

im not tryna disrespect the man versatility, but c'mon

not even Snoop Lion has changed stripes that many times

 

[4thChamber]

What about Hammer when he put out The Funky Headhunter?

 

[evoljeanyes]

Busts Rhymes be dickriding Wayne soooo hard its disgusting!

 

[playmaker88]

He stayed relevant a long time after big died the last time he was relevant though was the end of Danity Kane... He stretched his relevancy for a minute i give him that.. i dont see how reaching.. to be relevant is a bad thing..

 

[NoCompetition]

Im always surprised by how many people dont understand "f@ck the bullsh!t play to win. F@ck what broke jealous jokers sayin" Diddy is one who has figured this out. Hahaha
