Former Bad Boy Artist, Mark Curry, Writes A Tell All Book About Diddy

Sounds like Diddy is strict with the money, charging his own artist to use his whips and have him as a feature on a track. In the new Making the Band trailer below he tells Danity Kane he isn’t letting anyone out of their contract, “I want the world to know I don’t give a F***, this is business and that’s really reality.” Take that, take that…

Diddy is rich cause he took the slave master route. Keep them working hard, busy, confused and jerk the fuck out of them. Fucking with Diddy u either gonna be Dead, Locked up, Broke or in church. He’s sorta like the NY streets.

The East Coast West Coast sh!t started because of the sh!t that happened in ATL too bad BIG and PAC had to pay RIP.. They were Pawns while Suge and Diddy still living.

Maybe “artists” should learn a little discipline in handling their business and they wouldn’t feel jerked.I’m sure they all lived well under the Bad Boy umberella but None of those artists Except for BIG had a work ethic to match Puff’s.The music business is just like life-HUSTLE WINS,not talent.

well… im currently doin some psychology shit so yall know my buddy is gonna be even bigger, and im just horny for corrupted butts. i just like the fresh smell of shit and blood on the my dick. you know bob marley was perhaps one of the most retarded entertainers in history, he has confidence and all that good stuff but he just couldnt carry himself well in an interview. one interview he said “they dont want us to take in the herb cause it make us rebel against them” now…. in light 2 cent’s asoteric agenda it makes some sense…. dats if you take it out of context of course and make up your own sort of scrap book on what should be real and what isnt. but.. what would really lead him to say that shit anyway? is it some hereditary paranoia shit? was it how the public looked down on and beat rastas before his rise to fame? hmm… who knows… but one thing is for sure only a fool does not give an open ear to his fellow fool.

I Am God But The AK 47 Is The Great Equalizer For My Sons….

The thing most of you don’t understand is that you can sit here and say this is a business, this is that and this but the reality of it all is exactly what Puff said, it’s a BUSINESS…keyword…BUSINESS. You can’t have a business and treat everyone as though it’s on a friendship level. That lifestyle is what makes you end up like a Jay…you get all the money and everyone is left living off you. All of you on here can be Jay fans (and I am too) but the truth’s the truth.

When #10 made his case he listed this and I’ll add my own case points also

1 112 – out – Millionaire Multiplatinum artists
2 faith – out – Millionaire Platinum artist
3 black rob – out – Hit single (was always in jail so never blew up)
4 lil kim – out – Millionaire Platinum artist
5 g dep – out – Hit singles (always in jail, always gettin bailed out by Puff)
6 total – out – Millionaire Platinum artists (off the scene on their own accord)
7 the lox – out – Platinum artsts (and still relevant today)
8 mase – out – Millionaire Multiplatinum artist
9 craig mack -out – Hit singles (went out with the times)
10 carl thomas – out – Millionaire platinum artist
11. lil cease and the whole Jr mafia – Platinum artists (really under BIG not Puff)

You can argue it all you want but aside from 50 how many leaders of a record label that are also artists on the same level have been able to produce as many platinum artists and put as much money in the pockets of these individuals as Puff? Yea he took the majority of the money but shit he’s the boss…if they wanted they could’ve went somewhere else. Now let’s look at those who did…Freeway, Young Gunz, Beanie Sigel, Memphis Bleek, Amel, Peedi Crack, Oschino and Sparks, Rell, Samantha Ronson, and Sauce Money…Out of all of these, other than Beanie who’s really relevant today? And even Beanie is by a slim margin. Out of all of them who can you say is a millionaire ont he same level of 112, Mase, Faith, Lil’ Kim, and the Lox?

For all the critism that you want to give Puff he’s given all of his artists something that Jay was never able to…a life outside of Bad Boy and money on their own. None of the people who were under Rocafella had that…NONE. And you can’t count Dipset because they were who they were before Dame brought em and even then they operated on their own outside of Jay and really the label as a whole. And Bleek’s money is just Jay’s money. Yea you can say Jay never took their money but they never made any money to begin with…yea State Prop had a platinum album I believe but where’s that money now? Let’s be realistic people…Puff’s not the asshole all these bitter artists portray him to be..and thats specifically speaking in the realm of artists/label owners category…only 50 has been able to produce artists in the same mold…and maybe JD if you count him as such with So So Def.

he been puttin in too much work for too long, like it or not puff paid his dues, he carried bags for niggas was on the road wit niggas, made no money just watched and learned he been doin this shit for more than half his life. all these so called hiphop heads dont know what to do wit they bizness. they aint listen when qtip told them industry rule number #480 industry ppl are shadyyyyyyy.mark curry should be glad becuz if diddy never gave him a shot, he coulda never wrote a fuckin book, which proceeds from this book will go to diddy. even tho i dont like 50 he was right when he told jada, 10yrs in the game and u still dont understand the bizness. they are actually lucky puff let them out he didnt have to do shit

I understand that its all about the money, but check this out how would u like it if somebody crushes ur dream when u worked hard for it? or sends u to jail for a crime u didnt commit? Diddy, fucked every single person on his lable, not one, two, all of them. And thats pretty fucked u keep making business like that eventually u not gonna have anymore business as far as music wise.

If he was about “business” we would be listening to some of the artists he dogged out.

Diddy is a dookie digger and Andre Harrell had that ass FIRST! he is a DownLow SHAM!

he is paid but he owns nothing!!! a Jewish guys fronts the money and Diddy gets a salary
all he has of true value is Big’s catalogue of songs-which Ms. Wallace should have.

on the internet he is known as P.Shiddy

Some folks really fall for the hype huh???

Shyne took that bid for him and he did not do what he promised, he’ll get his one day and its going to be ugly. I hope all of his baby mommas are saving some money…LOL

WHO ARE WE TO JUDGE DIDDY OR MARK CURRY.. these 2 know each other way better dan we know them… in some ways im sure mark is tryin to make some money but in some way THERE ARE SOME THRUTH IN HIS BOOKK … anyhow i read the first chapter and I DIDNT SEE MUCH IN THERE IM SORRY.. BUT! im sure he said MUCH MORE IN THE BOOK..

anyways DIDDY IS A TRUE BUSINESS MAN.. IM SURE.. and when u want to be successfull as a business U MIGHT HAVE UR HANDS DIRTY.. but i don’t think DIDDY HAS SOMETHING TO DO WITH BIGGIE KILLINGS AT ALL.. although HE KNOWS WHO DID IT…

remember the line from fif?

‘ who shot biggie small, we don’t get ‘em them niggas gon get us all, mayn puffy know who hit dat nigga mayn dat NIGGA SAW.. HE SCARE DEM BOYS FROM THE WESTSIDE WILL BREAK HIM OFF!! jump on his ass…..
lol

ANYWAYS …im sure diddy got dirt on his hand but if u want to take everybody as family when conducting a business, u might LOOSE IT ALL..

Everyone saying that Puff is a “Business Man” is an idiot.

Puff is a crook.

A proper business man is honest and makes an honest buck. Puff is a con artist. A fraud with charisma (period).

That being said, does anyone here even understand that if you have a shitty contract it doesn’t matter if you go quadruple platinum? (see TLC)

This is a business, but you have to operate in manner that will boost the art and profit. “Business ethics.”

Many record execs are able to pull that off, ask Russ Simmons, Jimmy Iovine, Doc Dre.

Puff took the short cut to success. He sacrificed his soul, artists and our music to benefit his agenda. Puff is a parasite.
