Readers' 20 Worst Lyrics Ever: No. 2


"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.

Considering Diddy's history with women, I think he's talkin about a man-duh-lay. And he be duh brothah.

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

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.

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

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.

No he does NOT say "play AT mandalay". He clearly says "play A mandalay". Given that he just stated Saint Tropez, it's possible he might have been thinking of a "Mandola", which is an instrument similar to the mandolin, possibly found in France or something. He probably just added a "Y" at the end because it rhymes with Saint Tropez, which is pronounced "San tro Pay" or some say it like "sandro pe".

does diddy have any talent? he can't rap... he can't dance... wtf? why is he supposedly so great? i'm confused. and on his show making the band, he's judging other people's talent. shouldn't u have talent urself in order to judge others??? i wonder the same thing about paula abdul. lol
