"Have you ever been
To Saint-Tropez
Or seen a brother
Play a mandalay?"
--Diddy's 'I Need a Girl (Part Two)'
Nope, and neither has anyone else, Sean, because a "mandalay" isn't an instrument!!! You meant "mandolin." --Meghan, Orlando, Fla.

p diddy is a no talent idiot with a fourth grade education and those who buy his music show their lack of education as well !!

Wow...WOW! I can't claim to like P Diddy, Diddy...whatever he goes by now...but for someone trying to criticize people by telling them they lack education, your typing skills are awful! Try something called capitalization buddy!
And listening to P Diddy doesn't automatically make one an idiot...just a brainwashed pawn of popular culture. Now, should they try to claim he has some deep insight...I might question their intelligence, as well as what they're smoking, lol.

P.Diddy has said he can't rap before. He just has fun on the tracks.

Again this goes to show that Puffy(as I will always call him) is not a lyrical genius. I just hope that he knows it, lol.

A melody and rap do not even exist together. A melody is in a real song not in a corny rap song.

This guy is a talentless hack.

What a weak ass rhyme, P Diddy! Maybe you should work on your lyrics a little more instead of smoking those blunts!
Aaronat 4-08-2007

I wanna hear u lot rap. If u cant u dont dis those who can.
Wolfng3at 6-29-2008
I won't say that rapping doesn't take skill...but as a poet, I can say that with a little efforts, resonable rhymes can be found for most lines. Although...I don't like rap anyhow...so it makes no differents to me, lol.

You want to hear us rap? As if rapping is some great talent that only a special few can do. As if the only way we can justify saying this dude is weak is if we can rap. its the most pathetic form of music that exist.

P.diddy I thought you had a girl
yolandaat 4-11-2007
Your ego is bigger than you lips! you are such a jerk!!!

DixonSteele1on1at 1-04-2009
yo jacob...he made this lame ass list twice! (once on the fudge packers list and once here on the readers' choices) so he must be doing something right and you can't fault him for that, eh?!

So.......he's so talented he can play a casino in Vegas? I hope that's where he was going with that one.
nas jonesat 5-01-2007
im pretty sure hes just followin the rhyme scheme, and sayin "seen a brother play AT Mandalay" like perform there ya heard...diddy is the sorriest rapper alive and needs to stick to being a businessman and realize is hes no rapper and Bad Boy hasnt ever had a rapper since BIG...but diddy aint so whack that he be rhymin that horribly

I guess UConn doesn't have that strong of a rap program.
