Bless the heart of my new young intern RM. He sent me an e-mail mentioning all the things that he wished we should turn into drops here at this site. When I asked him to write out one and do some research on it he never e-mailed me back. Dude quit his internship only three e-mails into the gig. I suppose that is reflective of the work ethic for today’s generation.
Well since we are left holding the bag that our weedcarrier has placed down I see no point in just letting a good idea go up in smoke. RM wanted to see a drop on all the different groups that PIDDY, the King of all Jigs, has sent to ruin. PIDDY is a prolific Wig Owner whose supreme talent appears to be bankrupting young artists. Not a singer, songwriter or musician, PIDDY has gone on to create several multi-platinum albums by over-exploiting the actual talent that he comes in contact with. Think about CLIVE DAVIS, QUINCY JONES, HUSTLE SIMMONS, BENITO MUSSOLINI and the Devil all coming together as a record industry executive and you still wouldn’t be able to beat PIDDY. He’s just that damn good.
PIDDY doesn’t create Wig Owners either. If you come into his camp as a brusher then you will remain one forever. And if you leave, don’t even think about taking a single wig with you. The Lox had to go on a New York City radio station and beg the public to help them in their demand to have PIDDY give them a wig. PIDDY’s got so many wigs that he gave one to the Lox, but that shit was ratty and nappy. JADAKISS and STYLES P have been trying to straighten that shit out for over a year. PIDDY is prah’lee somewhere laughing out loud while he styles on some more fools. Let’s face it, the King of all Jigs will own your wig until the last hair has ben brushed off that bitch. He won’t stop either, but that’s mostly because he can’t stop. Are you ready to walk with me down Wig Brusher memory lane?
TOTAL
Everybody was always calling Total a bunch of lesbians, which they weren’t, but they were instructed to play up the girl on girl friendly image because at the end of the day Black lesbians buy music.
SOUL 4 REAL
These were four brothers that PIDDY “discovered” and brought to Heavy D so that he could have his wig brushed as well. Their hit song ‘Candy Rain’ is still my shit. Everytime I hear it PIDDY gets richer and a puppy gets slaughtered.
FUZZBUBBLE
Who knew that PIDDY had a rock band? These dudes were like that 80’s group Mr. Big except they sucked worse and they never had a hit song.
THE LOX
PIDDY was so cheap that he charged the Lox $20 for every copy of their CD that they requested from him. The Lox ended up going to the bootlegger to buy their CD’s in order to give to their friends.
Kiss those Grammy’s goodbye when you write rhymes for PIDDY. You aren’t going to be getting credits on the album.
B5
B5 was PIDDY’s version of the Jackson Five and they even featured the underage brother that becomes a nymphomaniac.
112
This was PIDDY’s take on the young adult contemporary R & B theme. He left these dudes so broke down and destitute that one of them had to take up robbing peoples homes via breaking and entering.
DANITY KANE
What the hell is a Danity Kane?!? Looks like PIDDY is making his way into the bedrooms of little suburban girls.
DA BAND
This was a train wreck even before they got on the tracks (puns always intended). For all of your information, Junior’s cheesecake ain’t even that good.
NEW EDITION
How fucked up must New Edition’s bankroll be if they all have to come to Bad Boy and brush wigs for PIDDY? These niggas catalog alone defines R & B from the 1980’s.
At the end of the day all of the wigs that these bands were brushing remained in PIDDY’s possession. The brushers themselves learned the hard lessons of life in the recording industry. PIDDY continues to search the Earth for more talented, young wig brushers to keep his empire well coiffed.
You left out:
Craig Mack (where his third album at?)
Black Rob (back on the block hustlin’ with the Alumni)
Loon (back on the block puttin’ out wack ass mixtapes)
Kain (he got to spit on a couple of remixes at least)
Mark Jackson (Bad Boy For Life? Try six months!)
That lil’ kid Jerome or whatever (one single, one video…drrrrrrrrrrrooooooopped!)
Dream (his little jailbait cash cow until the big draw Melissa decided to bounce and become an “actress”…they replaced her, dropped one more single with Loon on the hook and their album was shelved and they got dropped shortly thereafter)
Gina Thompson (dropped)
G Dep (His deal expired and he’s official dropped)
Where’s that chick who had the “I Love You” song at? On Guantanamo Bay?
Keisha (dead)
Duh Duh Duh Man (dead)
I COULD go on, but you get the idea.
One.
Thanks Dart, but I don’t imagine that your read the premise. It is about groups and not indiv. artists
Damn….you even mentioned FuzzBubble. Did theyever release anything or were they just the white kids in the background of the “Benjamins” video?
I bow to the King of All Jigs…..he really has ruined almost everything he touched except his bank account. That takes skill.
I know you said groups but Dart HOW DA FUCK DID YOU LEAVE OUT – CARL THOMAS.
Although he JUST dropped an album last week…….his whereabouts are still UNKNOWN……….
Can somebody get me a milk carton and a Sharpie………….we have to find these ppl!
I liked those little Dream chicks, and Aubrey could get it along with the rest of Danity Kane. What I think people don’t understand is that Puffy is the Kingpin of this sh*t. He got it from his daddy who used to kick it with Leroy Barnes back in the day (Melvin got 3 pages of ink in Barnes’ autobiography). What the Didd-ster is showing is that acts are like hand to hand street crews. They come they go, some get fame and notoriety but none of that matters more than getting The Kingpin his loot. Plus he knows that no matter how dangerous the job may be working for him or the demise of their predecessors he has more than enough people lining up out there to help shill his schlock. Diddy has truly brought the block to the boardroom…
BTW. That last pic was photoshopped perfectly. I can see it now when he moves from Pro-Active to Hair Club for Men rocking such a coif. I will now return to laughing.
True story. My old business partner held a talent show in Akron, Ohio back in ’96 for some new talent. We discovered the “lil kid” Jerome. Hecame from a humble family from Akron, Ohio. His dad was a old wanna be r&b singer from the 70s. When we landed and negotiated the deal with Jerome 2 sign to Bad Boy, Jerome’s pop’s was mad cool, but when Puff got Jerome and his dad an apartment in Midtown, Jerome’s pops started acting all Suge Knight-ish, wanting to take over everything regarding his son’s career. Pop’s started beasting on Jerome (who was only like 10 years old). Then, when Jerome was a bit slow in catching on to the Bad Boy pace of work ethic, Puff started beasting on him. Kid was under so much pressure that eventually, when the entire Bad Boy repetoire were at a video shoot (I think it was for the Puff video with Ben Stiller, Shaq and everyone) Jerome had fallen victim to a nervous breakdown. During the video shoot, it started raining and the lil’ kid started singing gospel at the top of his lungs and stripped buck naked in front of everyone, dancing to the rhythm of his inner holy ghost under the holy showere coming down. Everyone one present was SPEECHLESS. After that, Puff didn’t want nothing to do with Jerome, nor his meddlesome pops. Pops and Jerome were forced to pack their belongings and moved back to their humble home in Akron. I havent heard from them since. True story.
HILARIUOS DROP kid!
Kiss said ‘Puffy is like a gangsta with the paperwork…’. People look at P with sequin suits, and funny hair cuts and then think he is hollywood type soft dude. Yeah he is kinda soft, but he is still gangsta. He has created and destroyed more artists than most of the hip hop labels combined. He’s like a pimp who is is always lookin for his next young thing to throw out on the track. And these so-called tough dudes seemed to get pimped the hardest. He signs them up with with all the hope and glory but he is only one that g-off in the end(no Tom Silverman). And he doesn’t even keep a bottom bitch, cuz that would mean sharing his doe, and the boy Piddy is not about to that….
so take that, takethat, take that…
CJ…damn he made shorty go crazy and do gospel in the rain?
BTW..this monday he gets his chance to turn out yet another group for his pleasure…
The only one that has stuck around is Kim Porter. And she just has no where else to go. LMAO
DP….you should do a drop on the gangsta baby mamas to the stars.
great post haahaha, diddy is def the king of all jigs, and what Combat said was even funnier, diddy seriously doesn’t seem to have a heart, makes you wonder about him and Notorious…
How the fuck did I not get the memo that Puff and Patti LaBelle shop at the same wig store?
“PIDDY’s got so many wigs that he gave one to the Lox, but that shit was ratty and nappy. JADAKISS and STYLES P have been trying to straighten that shit out for over a year.”
You wrong for that. You Funny but you wrong. Ha!
lmao @ this post..diddy is a shady hustla…..speaking of CARL THOMAS..i saw his azz at my local mall the other day, walking with some dude in a rush,…and it wasnt for a CD signing either….so why wtf was he rushing..lol.
DP and 40 got me caring about and understanding things I otherwise would be much less interested in… consider my horizons expanded.
there is a true disdain for this guy on my end…
this is the funniest shit. that internt should be hired full time. i havent seen a good wig brushing post in like what 4 or 6 months PROPS,
intern, ehh…weed carrier hmmm…i don’t know who the designated sap was but i’d like to pick up the reins from here. someone contact me and let me know whats good.
i oculd have done this…that intern you had aint shit. you forgot about dream…that white girl band…they came out in 2000-2001. & you forgot about the lil boy named jerome. he was the “sammie” of the 90s.
you remember sammie right?
he came back out & bricked.
dammit this nigga puff is evil. I understand an acute business sense, and that the industry does not work in favor of the artist….but never in the history of black music has one man been so successful at manipulating and mangling young impresionable artists. Has ANYONE ever had a decent deal with Puff?
Now for the record, he did warn Da Band to read the contracts before signing, and then fools did nothing but scribble on the dotted line with a smile. Who’s fault was that?
I got a feelin you did it on purpose cuz it would go against the overall theme of this blog post since Jeezy got famous and went off on his own to be successful, but you did somehow manage to leave out Boyz N Da Hood which is on Bad Boy and would be one of The King Of All Jigs’s groups. What is up with that??????
Also 8Ball & MJG, although i guess a “group” has to have more than 2 people in it? The have been shit since signing with Bad Boy though, i feel bad for them cuz i’ve been listening to them since Comin Out Hard and they DEF have talent that Diddy has killed. If 8Ball & MJG had been on International Playas Remix with Three 6 Mafia, UGK and Outkast that woulda been ALL the great Southern Rap Duos of All Time on ONE FUCKING TRACK!!!! Just think about that! Someone should just add their verses at the end and make the greatest southern track of all time a reality!
That was the funniest and most accurate blog I’ve ever read from beginning to end. I would call him a great businessman ….but there’s one thing I never quite got about Piddy jerking his peoples. Bad Boy really could have been,I believe, the best black owned record label ever. Everything they put out early in it’s inception was fire! It seems as soon as he started Sean John, the music just became his jump-off instead of his main squeeze and he treated it as such. You’d think he would make more money if he would have kept his artist happy and contempt because everybody would want to sign to BB……..Or maybe he saw the writing on the wall. Why pump money into somebody’s career? There’s no money in hip hop like there was but niggas will always want to look fly…..Wait, he’s not a businessman, he’s a business man!

Wow. I thought I was the only one that thought P.Diddy did a horrible job with his artists.
I hate that all of the above listed talent got wasted at Bad Boy.
