nikka was talking AT French, not TO him...
Cmon, you know Puff is already hanging on by a string in this music game, yeah he got all the money in the world, but HE even knows he's not at the top anymore...You can bring in all the nikkas you like, you can claim that French is the NY savior but in that man's heart of hearts...he knows that French is BS but somehow the streets dig him (and his features) so he's keeping Puffs pockets lined and thus can do what he wants...
real test is...let French buzz die off or he fade back, Puff will be riding the NEXT new Bad Boy Gang or whatever wave to the next 100Ms
