Return of the Mack!


Sean "the d, the i, the d, the d, the y, the d, the i, the d, it's Diddy!" Combs is ready to make an entrance so back on up. On October 3rd, the self proclaimed shiny suit man is set to release his new album appropriately titled Press Play. Now a few years back there was all this talk about releasing a dance alubm, and Diddy was bouncing all over the world [literally, cause he can do that]mixing it up with various producers who hold major clout on the dance/electro/house scenes. That fun in the sun came to an end and Diddy went back to the drawing board and is back with, an [insert gulp here] R&B album?!@#

That's right, Puff is ready to get his Pharell on with an album free of samples, "fun singing" [not be confused with actual "singing" as he explained to Fox News], and a whole host of guest writers [surprise surprise], producers, and artists also known as collaborators; Kanye West, Will.i.Am, Timbaland, Pharrell, Mario Winans, Rich Harrison, Brandy, Christina Aguilera, Mary J. Blige, Ciara, and Nicole Scherzinger from the Pussycat Dolls [the one that does all the singing] to be exact.

Will the album be as 'earth shattering' as 1997's No Way Out? Who knows? Gotta respect the man's ambition and humility surrounding the whole affair. As he told Fox News, the man is nervous. [And by the way, why is Fox News the news outlet releasing all this info regarding P.Diddy's next move?] The whole experience has been like "jumping off a cliff into the ocean." Hmm, that's funny, many of us who were coming of age during the release of No Way Out that are now growing older feel that way everytime we give something released by you a chance. It's quite the ride.
