Not going to lie. I've been side eyeing Diddy ever since he made the band walk to get that cheesecake. I'm not even saying this to be funny, that was some bad energy.
growing up in miami in the 2000s/early 2010s my family and ppl in my neighborhood always told me stories about diddy since he frequently partied in the clubs out there and did a lot of business there so i always seen him as a weirdo from the shit i was told 😂
I just want to make a quick comment while this video is fresh. FD, thanks for helping a clueless Midwestern white dude understand black culture and issues. I don't have much exposure to it, and you have helped to educate me. Even if you never read this, I wanted to thank you. So, thank you!
I'm an African who loves my American black brothers and sisters, and I've always wanted to learn more about their culture which is beloved worldwide. FD has been awesome with his educational vidz. Much luv from Kenya 🫶🏿🇰🇪
@@samm552 For real. I'm white and British but I love learning more about different people. I think racism is the dumbest sh!t ever and I want to know as much as I can about how others experience it so I can do my part to help end it. For the sake of all humanity. We are all brothers and sisters. It's a shame some people never realize it.
I’m a history professor and once I become president of my university I’m awarding FD an honorary doctorate. Because he actually earned one and we are witnessing it. Period
Patriarchy has no gender and there was a woman handling Cassie and keeping her in those rooms just gave me chills in the worst way. It’s like something I KNEW but can’t even imagine if that makes sense.
Ghislaine Maxwell. when the fbi & interpol bust alot of sex trafficking rings some of the worst abusers in them tend to be women who 'recruit' or 'handle' the victims. Hell some of the biggest ones are even run by women.
There ya go! This is a much bigger problem in this society, it extends across government, business, entertainment, and sports. This is the conversation that needs to be had.
Diddy had 4 rappers on Bad Boy so shook by what they saw, they all turned to all 3 Abrahamic religions. Mase/Craig Mack to Christianity, Loon to Islam, and Shyne to Judaism. Biggie dead, Black Rob dead, Kim Porter dead. Diddler lore has been around in hip-hop forum spaces for 25yrs. But I'd also like for ppl do dig into Clive Davis and Arista and the music industry shennanigans as a whole.
I feel like we need to bring back something like behind the music for Gen z. I don't know if it's just like the death of celebrity culture or its social media but I feel like people have forgotten is that like the music industry he's like maybe one of the most exploitative industries especially for black people despite the massive amounts of wealth that you can achieve within it. Like we need artists to have a socially acceptable venue for them to talk about getting screwed over on these contracts.
Enjoyed it many times on Nebula already, just coming to give some love. Im hoping we as a people will start to address more of the underlying causes of these issues. Sadly, that requires us to address how capitalism actually works, through the exploitation of others.
You got everything but one key piece to Diddy’s story is his 1st run-in with the law after his Howard days where he hosted a basketball tournament at City College where sadly 9 people lost their lives after being trampled.
Me to my boyfriend: going to the movies is so much work, it’s hard to find time to watch something for two straight hours F.D. video releases: drop everything, must be Attentive
Im 28 so I remember my mama having Confessions of a Video Vixen book but ofc at age 10 she was like "don't read my books, you too young!x So i bought the book for my fiance and i to read last year and im so glad you brought up this book. I believe its a book that every black woman should read. Its vulnerable, raw, and tells you the good, bad, and ugly of such an industry and as someone who did do Adult work for awhile to make money to feed me and my minor brother, Elizabeth (Karrine) really opened my eyes and made me reflect on so much
I think a discussion about sexual abuse,pedophilia and 🍇 is necessary. The current events expose a widespread problem in this country. R Kelly,P Diddy and Bill Cosby is the tip of iceberg. I feel that this goes on in every community,race,socioeconomic level,profession,sexuality etc.
Whats the difference between. Hugh Hefner and Diddy??? Perception fuelled by the media will have people lauding a man who made money from sex exploitation for over 50 years will have society lauding him. Whiles Diddy rightfully I must add is now vilified and condemned. Cognitive Dissonance is a muthafucka
I don't think casual listeners really knew how bad it was. The other thing is that when you are enveloped in the world of poverty you are so accustomed to exploitation that most of it seems normal. I didn't know about Diddy's behavior before the lawsuit, but I believed her immediately. I'm not bragging and that isn't a flex. It scares me when I actually think about it because I have to actually deal with the fact that women are never going to be safe. All of those people were watching him abuse countless women and none of them cared until they got sued or their reputation was tarnished. Jay-Z literally didn't say a damn thing until now and we all know that at best he knew and didn't care. Women won't be free until people actually see us as people and that isn't going to happen any time soon.
I absolutely love your analysis. My one critique is not enough discussion of how his parties were considered the number one event of any year. I was a teenager and I knew about the all white Hampton‘s parties. He was such a part of the media zeitgeist in the 2000s. All of it was happening under our nose and in our face at the same time. To all of the kids who are too young to know about how big he was at that time, he was literally as popular as Paris Hilton, Britney Spears and all of the top stars of the 2000s.
Haven't finished the video yet. It's absolutely great so far, but I just had to say how much what you've done inspired me. I'm hoping to make my own content soon and fingers crossed it can be even half as good as what you make, man. Much appreciated that you put out such incredible videos. No ones doing quite like this
As a music nerd and audiophile I genuinely appreciate the music editing so far. 39:07 the original song playing sounding extra sinister slowed down before cutting to a clip of Diddy's version
I've been waiting for someone I trusted to cover this topic in a well rounded way. I appreciate all you do and I'm looking forward to hearing what you've got to say
Watched on Nebby ⭐ and I'm gonna watch again. It's worth being reminded of the systems that Combs climbed up and used to protect himself while he allegedly hurt so many people.
My cousin is a tour bus driver and knows a few people in the industry, including someone in Diddy’s crew (I think bodyguard). One day he was talking to the guy and Diddy FaceTimed him and my cousin got to say hey. After the call was done my cousin asked if his daughter, who’s a really good singer, could potentially meet Diddy so she could get her career started. The guy turned to him and with all the seriousness in the world said to never let his daughter near any man in the music industry, especially not Diddy. He took that advice
Man I'm not usually commenting just glaze but boy is f.d is necessary right now. Even if you dont agree with his view point, one thing i value thats rare is the way he thinks and not taking everything at face value
This guy knows who Craig Mack is
I hope they dig too deep
That's the guy that made Samurai Jack!😯
Too much flavor in ya ears
@@DeltaSK2112 thats the guy who made Blade !

F.D bringing back an actual analysis on this situation instead of reading a Wikipedia article and posting it on UA-cam
Well said
REAL!
Why are u coming after Xevi like that
FR
@@Mighty_AtheismoI don't think anyone is coming to xevi for deep analysis. His videos are like 7 minutes on average.
FD wiping the glasses at the beginning of his video is like Lil Wayne lighting the blunt before a track...they going in 🤷🏿♂️
this exactly, i know when unc takes the spectacles off i'm in for a fuckin meal
😂😂😂😂
Facts 😂
A sign that he’s about to cook
😂😂😂
Here we GO
Right at dinner time I'm finna eat well this evening 😅
Not going to lie. I've been side eyeing Diddy ever since he made the band walk to get that cheesecake. I'm not even saying this to be funny, that was some bad energy.
I bin saying that 💯
Real shi😂
10000%. Anyone old enough to have been following this fool in real-time that was actually paying attention knows he's always been a monster.
growing up in miami in the 2000s/early 2010s my family and ppl in my neighborhood always told me stories about diddy since he frequently partied in the clubs out there and did a lot of business there so i always seen him as a weirdo from the shit i was told 😂
tell me about it. that’s some grimey shit.
Time to eat my dinner
This is Dinner, Dessert, and the thoughtful car ride home.
⏸️
Literally for me. I saw this dropped while I was taking a quick smoke break cooking my chicken/black beans/rice slop for dinner. Now it's time to EAT.
I mean me too but it feels wrong 2 eat do this
But its fd
I woke up at 5pm today because I couldnt sleep. Im about to eat a home-made-tacobellstyle quesadillas i just made

when unc starts the video by cleaning his glasses i know it's gonna be some legendary shit
😂😂😂💯💯💯
This is probably the most hype I've ever been for a UA-cam vid
same!!!
True
Same!
It’s bigger than Diddy Dop
Id love to do this one day. I love video essays
I’m a history professor and once I become president of my university I’m awarding FD an honorary doctorate. Because he actually earned one and we are witnessing it. Period
FD's output this year has been incredible, the goat frfr
Facts, i found him earlier this year and have prob watched the past 4 yrs worth of content. B sides as well. Bro goes hard
How the fck FD makes me feel this hyped about an essay video being dropped it feels like an album lol
Unc about to shake the game with this one 🙏🏿💯
“FD just opened his mouth, someone go give him 1Mil rn”
😂
Lil bill prob 😔 so salty
@@mizb819 nah, knowing him, he’s got something planned too 🤣
referencing drake is crazy
I can't unhear the AI gay sex version. It's not even about "Ha ha, homosexuality is funny," its just significantly catchier than the original track.

Saaaaaaame 👏🏾✨

7:25 not only did that rapper go to jail but got deported and never really made it again in music.
Shyne is the son of the former Prime Minister of Belize and is currently the leader of one of the two political parties
Shyne has a documentary on Hulu. It's interesting and well made.
There ya go! This is a much bigger problem in this society, it extends across government, business, entertainment, and sports. This is the conversation that needs to be had.
I will not finish the video for various reasons, but I want to say thank you for your work. I hope all the people like me find some peace.
I've not been touching any content on P Diddy waiting for the F.D video on this.
same!! i didn’t wanna hear about him from anyone else
YUP
knew everyone else was just doing Wikipedia rundowns
Same, this is like Christmas morning
Fr. Most people commenting on Diddy weren't even alive back then, let alone listening to music. 😂
Watched this on Nebula a couple of times already but I can't not watch it here too! Excellent work
Let us know if he clipped any parts out that were _too hot for tv._
Perfect timing. About to cook while FD cooks
Is a cook off, what you cooking?

"This video will disappoint you" is kind of becoming a catchphrase of yours at this point.
Which is pretty ironic.
Been waiting on this breakdown 50 cent gotta call you for the doc

And the badu madlib follow up...
I watched this ENTIRELY while deep cleaning my room. You went beyond man💯
THE FOOD HAS ARRIVED
F.D my fav cook 🧑🍳
we eating good tonight
21:00 - Record Company People Are Shaaaaaaadyyy.
It's one of the rules.
i got that reference!!
Read this like one of Caitlin Doherty's pitched bits. Like, "[Whatever industry or grotesque thing] is magic!"
The video every favorite UA-camr‘s favorite UA-camr has been waiting for for this past year
You got everything but one key piece to Diddy’s story is his 1st run-in with the law after his Howard days where he hosted a basketball tournament at City College where sadly 9 people lost their lives after being trampled.
How dare UA-cam hide this from me for 20 seconds 😤🔥
"liked" this after a couple of sentences, and with every new sentence, wish I could like it over and over again.
My Diddy awakening was when Craig Mack joined a cult. I was like "Damn, what happened at Bad Boy to make him join a cult?"
I remember when people were like “Diddy won” (against Suge Knight and Death Row) and now look both were just as slimy.
Tupac and Biggie both lost. Feel forever bad for their moms.
Happy to have the UA-cam version so I can understand the part that was drowned out on Nebula. Huzzah!
Me to my boyfriend: going to the movies is so much work, it’s hard to find time to watch something for two straight hours
F.D. video releases: drop everything, must be Attentive
Im 28 so I remember my mama having Confessions of a Video Vixen book but ofc at age 10 she was like "don't read my books, you too young!x

Conveniently left out:
Harvey Weinstein and Jeffery Epstein- who had links to the highest halls of power…
thanks for what you do, F.D.
I love spacial’s editing style. First noticed it in his daniel ceaser vid and it’s only getting better. Happy he was able to work on this.
Here from Nebula to give you some likes. I didn’t really know much about Diddy or this industry before, so this video was very informative.
Its not just Diddy, its so many more
This. It's systemic and everyone in power is in on it. Nauseating
Fr, like it's crazy how beyonce has flown under the radar
@@BigDJKuumshotInteresting. What has Beyoncé done specifically?

Suge Knight is in Jail forever and now Diddy is going down I feel like the major comeuppance in the world of Hiphop is finally happening.
There's a lot of them that need to go.

The...kids? Currently? It's the mid-2020s. People who were kids at the time you're describing are all adults now. Or dead.
The sequence that starts at 23:27 is genuine art y’all like this is amazing fd. Incredible video
I swear FD video drops are officially more exciting than Marvel Movies
8:18 I find it scary how much he resembles Kai Cenat here.
Holy shit yea especially in that clip
Funny thing: the first time I ever heard of Puffy was from that basketball stampede, so he’s been bad news all my life.
I’ve been waiting for your analysis on this for so longgggg!
*yes this is the actual intro* had me crying... such a throwback. Great work as always FD. Thank you!
When you drop it’s like an album release I swear
BEEN WAITING FOR THIS ONE UNC!!!

Watched on Nebby ⭐ and I'm gonna watch again. It's worth being reminded of the systems that Combs climbed up and used to protect himself while he allegedly hurt so many people.
The only channel I get hype for a video rollout for. Quite possibly the greatest to ever do it.
Just got home from work and the Diddy video drops? Incredible.
no matter how long it takes, when fd drops it's always worth the wait

At LAST! I was waiting for this. Finally the true dive.
Here we go!!!!
Sampling Every Breath You Take is especially fitting because that song is creepy as hell when you listen closer
This is my Superbowl! From a 16 year old Canadian who escaped the manosphere and despises Diddy, thank you Unc 😝🙌🏾
The wait is finally over, thank you uncle F.D.
yeah! nice work getting Justin Hunte in the video, great crossover
Soon as I saw that ruff ryders shirt- I knew this one was gon hit
that Russel Simmons bit is so gross
Finally. Some good shit to get me through work.
starting the week with a bang i see
FD's record suggests this will be great. But for the babies, "Mtume" of Juicy Fruit is pronounced "em-too-may."
I know what I'm folding the entire house's laundry to tonight.
Soul Food by Goodie Mob should be on that list of best of 90s rap. The south had HEAT in the 90s.
