This album was an absolute MONSTER when it came out. Of course, every single song had a sample from huge hit of years gone by, so, in the meantime, react to UTFO's song--Bite it.
Mase, Black Rob, Lox, DMX - 24 Hours To Live , Nobody took Puff serious as a rapper, everybody ghost wrote for him. Before people knew who he was he would throw crazy parties at Howard so he knows how to make people party, that's his thing. If you know Bad Boy catalog, most of the hit, party songs are just loops of songs that were already hits in the 80's. But you still gotta give him credit because he change Hip Hop like it or not.
You’re absolutely right about Diddy being a producer/entertainer. I don’t know anyone from back in the day who judged his rapping skills like that. It was all about the music & features. The overall presentation. ✌🏾
At the time, everybody knew what it was. Just empty calories that served a purpose at the clubs back when people didn't overthink it. Deep down all of us heads were dying a little bit inside, but when you're trying to get numbers you just go with it 🤣
I'm glad you listen to Cappadona and puff daddy back to back. because in that time there was a big battle between commercial HipHop usually referred to bad boy stuff and underground HipHop usually started by the Wu Tang, Mobb Deep and later on Rawkus records in the late 90s. there was this whole thing about playa haters and hater playas. the playa persona was the antethisis to the bling bling era.
Ma$e probably wrote Puff’s verse. Gotta pay attention to Ma$e though, his flow is what made him who he is. Some good songs are Been Around the World (Original), 24hrs to Live, Looking at Me, What You Want, and Mo Money Mo Problems ( you probably heard this one). You can also look up Ma$e’s Oracle Diss to Cam’ron. Ma$e ain’t no slouch.
Mase did write the verse for diddy plus Murder ma$e didn’t wanna give the verse to diddy but diddy like the verse so much he made mase write another verse
You're spot on with Puff and his dancing lmao. There's a famous DJ Clue freestyle from 98 with Nore and Fabulous (it was Fab's first time getting real exposure) and Nore spit a line "shoot at your feet, make you do the Puff dance to perfection" and people lost their fuckin minds over it, still gets brought up today 🤣🤣
Children of the corn songs (Big L, Mase, Cam'ron supergroup): Star is Born American Dream Hell up in harlem Puff daddy - victory ft. Biggie and Busta Rhymes One of Biggie's greatest verses
No one takes puff seriously when it comes to rapping but he did have amazing hits. You’re not the only one who calls him out for dancing “Any artist out there that wanna be an artist, stay a star, and won't have to worry about the executive producer trying to be all in the videos, all on the records, dancing-come to Death Row!” Suge Knight. He was always mocked for it and also the flashiness of his videos and outfits.
I agree Diddy isn't a real rapper sounds like he's just talking to you but if you want to listen to a song where he actually sounds decent listen to the world is filled with biggie and 2 short dope song
Excellent Diddy observation. He was just rapping what someone else wrote. Royce Da 5'9 wrote I'll Be Missing You for him as well as a few other songs. Pharaoh Monch wrote for him too.
112 featuring Biggie & Ma$e “Only You” 112 featuring Ma$e “Love Me” Ma$e “Looking At Me” Ma$e “Feel So Good” Ma$e featuring The Lox, Black Rob, DMX “24 Hours To Live” Total featuring Ma$e “Tell Me What U Want” Puffy featuring Ma$e & Carl Thomas “Been Around The World” (remix) Notorious B.I.G. featuring Ma$e & Puffy “Mo Money Mo Problems” Mariah Carey featuring Ma$e & The Lox “Honey” (remix)
3:47 What happened to the part in the music video where the car blows up when Puff Daddy & Ma$e are walking away from it. That's one of the best parts in the music video, someone edited the video and ruined it
Fun Fact: Before the Harlem emcees blew up on a national level, Ma$e was in a group with Big L (RIP), Cam’ron and Bloodshed (RIP), called Children of the Corn.
Dope.. you really put time in on the music and old heads like myself appreciate that. Check "its all about the benjamins” lil kim steals the show bro??
You really have to listen to some pre and post BadBoy Ma$e to appreciate what a beast he is on the mic and as a writer… Puffy watered Ma$e whole flow down. Also, checkout Wise Intelligent from Poor Righteous Teachers. He’s another 90’s Jersey rapper that has some great music out.
@@gregblau8082 The Lox were lucky enough to get away from Puffy. But not without Puffy owning a piece of everything they made… Mary J Blige and Carl Thomas were the only two that I remember that walked away free and clear from Bad Boy.
DIDDY never had to RAP and much more than entertainer, THE man one of not many Black BILLIONAIRES...dude is a genius and always has, not to mention none of US WOULD OF EVER HEARD OF BIGGIE if not FOR DIDDY
I’m sure everyone knows Diddy’s not a great rapper, so this isn’t really a hot take lol however, I do recommend Victory if you haven’t already heard it. Jadakiss wrote his verses, it features Biggie and from what I’ve heard, it was the last song Biggie recorded.
Listen to Mase on DMX's"Niggaz Done Started Somethin"...dude is a beast. He was more gritty & lyrical outside of Diddy but still nice with Diddy. His flow is special.
Nah B! That was radio clown shit that was embarrassing for NYers ! We were rocking Gangstarr, De La, Tribe, Beat Nuts, Main Source , 3rd Bass and EPMD not that radio bullshit! Girls listened to that shit not cats in the streets !!
' Puff Daddy' or Diddy, is definitely not a REAL Rapper lol u right! Everyone know he's a better producer! At that time though, he was REAL popular bc Biggie blew up & w/Bad Boy, 'Mainstream' Rap became a BIG thing at that time. 97'
at the i think it was the 95 0r 96 source awards....Suge made a speech when they accepted an award and said.....if you dont want a producer danceing all on y=in your video...come to Death Row.....they were beefing bro...
It's said Diddy's rhymes were written for him. His style made it seem he wrote his own lyrics. He's a good actor lol. Mase was "Murder Mase" b4 Diddy made him famous. Then Diddy made Mase commercialized. The rest is history. Regardless, this is a hot joint. Much nostalgia. 🤓🖖
My young King you have one of the best hip hop reaction channels n us old heads love n respect you for that . Gives me the feeling of when i first heard these gems . But never react to Puffy lmao never ! Request -Nas Thief Theme , Styles P - Time .
Well they only reason he did rapping was because biggie talked him into it, lol he was gonna manage he rapping career, on his label in 1997 before his passing, biggie, mase, Jada kiss, and black Rob wrote his verses on tracks he just didn’t know how to get the cadence right but he brought the entertainment down, his first album no way out was dope as hell cause of the production and writing from others, he just jumped into it head first lol
Ice Cube used this beat around 5years earlier for his hit single check ya self the remix the original had Das Efx on the hook then Diddy trashed it with his shiny suit era music. Mase always dope tho he can really rap
being from NYC this was our cringe that we didnt really fuck with..shit like putting The Lox in some shiny suits....nah we wasnt rockin with this regardless what the lying media be saying
It’s not really his “rhymes” cause your/our favorite artist wrote for him.. he usually gives the same energy as the writer, maybe a little more smoothed out tho.🤔
I am surprised you didn't analyze Mase's lyrics when he said "you used to be my man, How you going to plot on my wife." I would have loved to get some more clarity on that.
Yeah, Puff isn’t really a rapper, he was really more of a promoter/producer/business person who happened to insert himself as a ‘rapper’. No one ever actually Puff seriously as a rapper. And the irony is, IMHO, this song is one of Puff’s better rap performances…😅

Puff raised the bar with these high priced videos. This song was such a banger when it came out. 97 was the flossy era in hip hop.
It wasa good think it stood test of time but they were in the millions
I think it went #1 on Billboard Hot 100 for 6 straight weeks aswell! Song is a banger for real.
This dude doing a review on it smh
Diddy said in a song "who cares if I write rhymes, I write checks".
This album was an absolute MONSTER when it came out. Of course, every single song had a sample from huge hit of years gone by, so, in the meantime, react to UTFO's song--Bite it.

Listen to black star - hater playaz
Mos Def pretty much diss him on that slick Rick remake at the black star album
@@Jzarecta how did he diss him
@@adonishardaway5106 listen to the song 'hater player' on Blackstar
@@adonishardaway5106 ong
All these bad boy songs give me so much nostalgia to my youth!! Love it
😎
We didn't look at Puff as a rapper either. Just an entertainer

Now you gotta add Ice Cube - Check Yo Self Remix to the list which also uses Grandmaster Flash - The Message beat.
Ma$e probably wrote Puff’s verse. Gotta pay attention to Ma$e though, his flow is what made him who he is. Some good songs are Been Around the World (Original), 24hrs to Live, Looking at Me, What You Want, and Mo Money Mo Problems ( you probably heard this one).

Even back then people didnt really recognize puff as a rapper. More like hype man producer businessman
Yo I'm 34 but I wish more younger guys would dive in to the classics like you do. #respect keep doing your thing
Respect for reacting to real hip hop ... nothing like the 90s 👑🔥🔥🔥🔥
Ice Cube ft Das Efx - Check Yo Self (Sampled The Message 1st in 93.....Not the album version. The video version).
Right before Jayz got at Mass on Ride or Die on the Hard Knock Life Album Jayz said “Check ya own videos your always be number 2” 🤣😂
96 was a hell of time. When this hit harlem it went crazy
love how you speak your mind, you express yourself beautifully. love your take on Diddy, lol, had me DYING.
You're spot on with Puff and his dancing lmao. There's a famous DJ Clue freestyle from 98 with Nore and Fabulous (it was Fab's first time getting real exposure) and Nore spit a line "shoot at your feet, make you do the Puff dance to perfection" and people lost their fuckin minds over it, still gets brought up today 🤣🤣
Children of the corn songs (Big L, Mase, Cam'ron supergroup):
Star is Born
American Dream
Hell up in harlem
Puff daddy - victory ft. Biggie and Busta Rhymes
One of Biggie's greatest verses
A Star Is Born is a mfkn CLASSIC. Cam and Bloodshed dismantled that song.
Puff style was talk Rap,
Bad boy was always a party growing up during the bad boy era living in New York was everything
Puff started out as a back up dancer with Heavy D & The Boys (R.I.P. Heav). That’s why all the dancin..
You gotta do Been Around The World Remix.
No one takes puff seriously when it comes to rapping but he did have amazing hits. You’re not the only one who calls him out for dancing “Any artist out there that wanna be an artist, stay a star, and won't have to worry about the executive producer trying to be all in the videos, all on the records, dancing-come to Death Row!” Suge Knight.

This song was a banger when it came out!
Add this to your list Ahmad
Lil Kim feat Puffy - No Time
Puffy feat Mase and Biggie - Been Around The World
Who cares if Diddy rap...that song was SMASH...bro made millions off of it. Remember this was foot sales. Not streaming.
Brother we need that Black on Both Sides!! For the culture lol I've I've rocking with you since 5k bro. You gotta do HIP HOP-mos def peace and luv
That entire Mos Def album is legendary
Coming soon 😂💯💯
Ice cube had a hit to this beat too. It's called 'Check ya self' gotta check that out
Puff Daddy and Twista - Is This The End
Puffy and notorious big - Victory
I agree Diddy isn't a real rapper sounds like he's just talking to you but if you want to listen to a song where he actually sounds decent listen to the world is filled with biggie and 2 short dope song
This song Mase wrote his verse ad Diddy's verse also..
I appreciate you understanding true hip hop . Can you do a reaction to this group called Coast Contra "NEVER FREESTYLE " you would be amazed 👏
Excellent Diddy observation. He was just rapping what someone else wrote. Royce Da 5'9 wrote I'll Be Missing You for him as well as a few other songs. Pharaoh Monch wrote for him too.
I'll be Missing you was Sauce Money
@@GOILL ppl just say anything
Man Ma$e snapped on this song. His flow was on another level, just spitting dope fly bars so calmly.
I used to always skip Diddy verses so I can listen to Mase verses.
This beat was sampled from Ice Cubes "check yo self" and Cube sampled Grandmaster Flash "the message" FYI.
Check out some Children Of The Corn track, that's a group of Big L, Mase, Cam'Ron, Herb McGruff and Bloodshed!

Thank you for an honest reaction. Please no more Diddy reactions! Your channel is too dope for that.
Gotchu 😂💯
this crap was forced down our throats when talent like Group Home or AZ got buried

I loved Mase so much I was going to name my first son Mason. This album was hard.
Yep, Welcome to the “Shiny Suit Era”.
Dope.. you really put time in on the music and old heads like myself appreciate that. Check "its all about the benjamins” lil kim steals the show bro??
People thats saying NYC wasnt rocking with this gotta speak for themselves
You really have to listen to some pre and post BadBoy Ma$e to appreciate what a beast he is on the mic and as a writer… Puffy watered Ma$e whole flow down.
Also, checkout Wise Intelligent from Poor Righteous Teachers. He’s another 90’s Jersey rapper that has some great music out.
He did that with a lot of people. Black Rob and Craig Mack had some sick tracks and he turned them into one hit wonders. Then there's the LOX
@@gregblau8082
The Lox were lucky enough to get away from Puffy. But not without Puffy owning a piece of everything they made… Mary J Blige and Carl Thomas were the only two that I remember that walked away free and clear from Bad Boy.
Ice cube with dad efx remade this beat too. Worth checking out too
Not sure if you did Victory by Biggie yet, featuring Diddy and Busta on the hook... If u do do the uncensored version, Big goes crazy on that too.
Cube used this beat for Check Yourself
Is it just me of does anyone else think the beginning of this video is similar to the California Love (Remix) Video?
"Check your own videos, you'll always be #2" - Jay Z to Ma$e
DIDDY never had to RAP and much more than entertainer, THE man one of not many Black BILLIONAIRES...dude is a genius and always has, not to mention none of US WOULD OF EVER HEARD OF BIGGIE if not FOR DIDDY

Eddie Griffin Is Hilariously Funny I Went To His New Stand Up Show It Was Hilarious Funny 😆 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 Managed To Get Some Tickets
Ma$e - niggas wanna act . God tier platinum Era rap shit. New millennium shit
Let me ruin this for you. Notice Mase never blinks in his videos? Watch for it. He doesn't blink.
Listen to Mase on DMX's"Niggaz Done Started Somethin"...dude is a beast. He was more gritty & lyrical outside of Diddy but still nice with Diddy. His flow is special.
Nah B! That was radio clown shit that was embarrassing for NYers !
We were rocking Gangstarr, De La, Tribe, Beat Nuts, Main Source , 3rd Bass and EPMD not that radio bullshit! Girls listened to that shit not cats in the streets !!
I still can't believe this album beat out Wu for album of the year
Courtesy of Clive Davis and the corporate machine behind Puffy's wack ass.

Agreed, but is he really a producer?
I know done heard Puff and the Fam All about the Benjamins right...that track stilllllllllllllllll go hard lol and Victory! BIG was on another level
at the i think it was the 95 0r 96 source awards....Suge made a speech when they accepted an award and said.....if you dont want a producer danceing all on y=in your video...come to Death Row.....they were beefing bro...
Best use of this beat is Ice Cube - Check yo Self (remix)
LOL don’t judge Puffy as a rapper, he is a business man and entertainer in the music industry
Im an old head and that shit about Puff was spot on my guy 😂
It's said Diddy's rhymes were written for him. His style made it seem he wrote his own lyrics. He's a good actor lol.

Check Notorious Big Oh Lord on Junior M.A.F.I.A
You got good taste, young buck
Compared to rappers these days, I'd listen to Diddy's album any day.
Well they only reason he did rapping was because biggie talked him into it, lol he was gonna manage he rapping career, on his label in 1997 before his passing, biggie, mase, Jada kiss, and black Rob wrote his verses on tracks he just didn’t know how to get the cadence right but he brought the entertainment down, his first album no way out was dope as hell cause of the production and writing from others, he just jumped into it head first lol

I’d love to see you react to Jay z and foxxxy brown, I think Ill NA NA was the song. Kind of our intro to Jay Z
I just realized that you actually look like Mase when he was your age.
If he wasn't so east coast with it he would have done the Ice Cube check yoself remix and knew that that they used it before Puffy lol
When’s that Nas poster coming? Keep up the great work, man!
Prodigy song one and only 😎
