  • DIDDY ON THE COVER OF MIXMAG



    MIXMAG/DIDDY COVER

    He’s doing a Jermaine Dupri, still slagging of DJ’s.
    I’m not sure why he’s still talking about this. The same DJ’s that helped him come through back in the day, are still running things today.

    The April issue of UK magazine Mixmag has an exclusive interview with Sean
    ‘P Diddy’ Coombs. In it, the Bad Boy Records supremo talks about his new
    album, his background as a dancer in the New York house music scene of the
    1980s and his friendship with dance music stars like Felix Da Housecat.

    Diddy also repeats his recent criticism of some contemporary hip hop DJs:

    “They come up in a generation where people are DJing for money so they
    copied who they saw getting the most money, copying their style and copying
    their play-list, copying what they hear on the radio.”

    He describes the new sound he is exploring on his next record ‘Last Train To
    Paris’

    “On this album, I’m using names that you know – Pharrell, Tricky, Rodney
    Jerkins and T-Pain – and I’m pushing them to a certain level of greatness.
    I’m motherfuckin’ Rick James on this album. I’m talking about love – sex-
    pain – heartache and some other stuff I can’t mention yet. It’s the dark and
    the light side.”

    “Electro-hip hop soul-funk: the new black!”

    And how many hours he sleeps a night

    “ It used to be four but I had to push it to six because I wanted to make
    sure I had mental clarity. It’s hard for me to sleep more. Last night I was
    trying to sleep but my brain wouldn’t shut down. I have Ambien [a
    prescription sleeping tablet], or I try and run and wear myself out.”

    Check out the full interview in next months Mixmag.

      Should be interesting. ‘Press Play’ was (along w/ Timbaland’s ‘Shock Value’) responsible for hip hop taking a more electro(nica) direction in the past couple years IMHO.
