I will most certainly underestimate that useless waste of time. He makes money by stealing other people's music. I'm surprised that he hasn't ripped a Pogues song off yet.

Was Puff Daddy the one that did that No 1 song, "I'll Be Capitalising On Your Death"? I think that's what it was called anyway...

Question about the "Every Breath You Take" tribute song to Biggie:
How much did Sting make off that travesty?
How much did Diddy make?
Did Biggie's kids or Mom earn 1/10 the profits the others did?

Given that it's one of the few decent songs Sting has written, let's not begrudge him his royalties. But if you want to hear a good cover of it, check out a Sir Douglas Quintet recording from the early 80s. I think it's on their Midnight Sun album, one of the albums they cut for Sonet anyway.

And he thought it was just the P that "was getting between" him and his "fans."

What Diddy has "actually" created is a classic moment in reality television, when he makes the contestants ,vying to be in DaBand, walk to Brooklyn to get him some cheesecake.I just saw the episode of Chappelle's Show where Dave plays both the role of Diddy and the "irresponsible member" of DaBand.Funny, funny, FUNNY!

danity kane and "Vote or Die" are just icing on the cake.

Maybe some of his songs would have sounded better if it hadn´t been him singing them. I can´t stand his voice on most of his songs - like "Roxanne". Brrr ...

But "Every breath you take" is one of the few I like, and "Message in a bottle" is spinning regularly in my juke box.
