Are you saying there wasn’t a discussion in the 90s as to what exactly Puff was and wasn’t doing on the records he got credit for? And there wasn’t a sentiment that he wasn’t actually making the beats, but instead getting producer credits for adding bells and whistles?
The main false allegation is the last sentence which makes puff’s role in production records looks like minimal or no input. Like he just walks in and takes credit when it’s all said and done, that’s not what happens at all. It’s slander and character assassination and absolutely delusional to believe that, that’s why it’s such a joke that I burst out laughing when I read it. People like you just don’t know.
Puff was in the studio night and day for days, weeks, months and years crafting the production sound of badboy. He was involved in making records from concept to being a perfectionist to how it was mixed mastered and engineered. That took blood sweat and tears not a cheque but his own effort and commitment to create a legacy and classic records. Puff Daddy is a legendary producer, point, blank, period, game, set, match.
There are tracks where he doesn’t get producer credit because he was fair, honest and transparent with his team. If he didn’t do anything for a record then you will note it was produced solely by Nashiem Myric or D-dot, then there are other tracks that Puff played a role in and got co-producer credit. Then there are tracks that are Produced by Sean Puffy Combs as the main producer and co produced by others. Those tracks were solely birthed from sample, concept or vision by Puff and would of never sounded or seen the light of day if it wasn’t for him. The hitmen will tell you that. The artists he worked with in the studio will tell you that. But one person that won’t tell you that is Puff because he has nothing to prove to you. You can’t change his legacy by hating. The mad producer and mad rapper skits were made for people like you and puff faced them in flocks.
Now when this battle happens I hope there will be a Puff Daddy production documentary with all the hitmen so it can show the new generation or people born after 1990 that’s Puff’s roots aren’t in Ciroc, or Sean John or even before badboy started his roots are in producing hit records and it’s what he does best.
