Diddy, El-P. El-P, Diddy. · by Sach O
Co flow is the new pop sensation getting steady hot 9-7 rotation
The most surreal photo op in the history of Hip Hop? Probably not, I mean there’s a flick of Easy-E and George Bush Sr. out there in someone’s wallet for all I know, but this is still bizarre as fuck. If an underground rap fan woke up from a 10 year coma today I’m sure he could come to terms with The South, the internet, Jim Jones, Kanye West and rap music in general. But that photograph? That just might blow his fragile little underground vs mainstream mind.
For what it’s worth, El Producto claims that Puff is “a nice guy”. Unfortunately no collaborations are in works.
Shoutouts to the Philaflava messageboard for the hilarity.
Comments for "Diddy, El-P. El-P, Diddy."
From El-P’s recent Onion interview:
———————
AVC: There’s a real one-size-fits-all quality to a lot of these major-label albums. Diddy and Nas are worlds apart, but they basically seem to be operating from the same blueprint in terms of making an album with the same people.
El-P: Except that Nas is a fucking legitimate poet and needs to be revered. I don’t think there’s anybody who’s particularly interested in Diddy’s album, though. Not to sound like “that guy,” but I don’t think there’s anyone interested in the type of album that someone like Puffy’s making. Even if there’s good moments on it, it just comes off as disingenuous.

If El-P told this to Puffy in person, would Puff even care, or would he crack El-P over the head with his moisturizer bottle?

I thought Puffy was more likely to catch you in the noggin with a cell phone than his face lotion?
