All ima say is that Puff FUMBLED BADDDDD with the these 3 (Rob included) all 3 we're unique artist you could've rebuilt Bad Boy around, Dep at the time was one of the most UNIQUE multi syllable spitter from the Kool G rap tree, the dude showed a way to give that style some swag and bounce and could've easily been bigger had Puff gave him a second album. Also, i'm not gonna hold Puff all the way accountable, cuz all 3 of them had a foot in the streets and did themselves dirty as well. Shyne was ready to become a MEGA STAR, had it all on lock and possibly taken over that decade, Black Rob would've kept the ship afloat but of course he couldn't keep out of his own way. The way puff would've shown the world he could replace the superstars he had (Big, Mase, Lox) would've given him a different legacy had he kept them intact.
