People really underrate Puff Daddy's genius on the No Way Out album

[BulletProof]

If anything, Ready to Die is evidence of Puff's brilliance.

Find a talented rapper, make him over, create him a persona, and tailor an almost over produced sound scape around him.

Puff doesn't get the credit as a visionary because of his vain antics and because of Big's undeniably raw skills as an emcee.

Beatmakers making beats for other rappers to write him rhymes to learn only for him to get co production credit and credibility as a rapper. And that makes him a genius?

i agree with this. Biggie wanted to be Nas/Jeru, Puffy was thinking, "nah, you can be bigger than that. let's do albums with half street shyt and half shyt for the ladies/clubs"

Last Train to Paris was his magnum opus but maybe marketed to the not so intended audience?
Sonically that was a very heavily and creative project..it was futurustic.

It does if the said person is the common denominator and the same people weren't putting up the same quality or success without said person.
