New Diddy Video - "Tell Me"

Initially thought we'd pass on this clip 'cause we've flogged Diddy enough, but you sorta have to hear it. See there's flow that's off the beat -- like what backpacker fave Kweli falls into for effect -- and then there's flow that's just off. No hook, no chain. Just off. It's your boy D. But the vid did remind us of those iconic Maxell commercials, and it features a not-trying-too-hard Xtina ... so maybe watch it on mute?

Still, not as good as this single still.

When does this stop? The K-Fed obsession was funny and sort of quirky, but Diddy isn't novel. This site needs to back off the bad pop videos for cheap negativity, and concentrate on finding good music and being excited about that.

Good point, d. You do that on your blog. (I HATE backseat blogging.)

Yeah, so add some relevant commentary on the posts that are up. Quit it with the whining about what you wish someone else would write. It's lazy.

P mumbly just has no talent at all.
Christina was actually decent on this, yes not trying too hard for once helps.

P. Diddy really should stick to working behind the scenes and producing other artists. His 'rapping' skills are horrendous, they consist of "I want it" and "com'on" and "yeaaah."

Seriously, he acts like he's the hottest rapper around and he has about two lines. Astonishing, no? Christina did a good job, but then, I love Christina. Overall, not too bad, but great either. Lukewarm--pretty much like everything Diddy does these days.

I DON'T GIVE A KICK WHAT ANYBODY SAYS THE SONG IS HOT. WHO DON'T HAVE ANYTHING GOOD TO SAY SHUT YOUR TRAP. AND DIDDY CAN RAP BETTER THAN ALOT OF ARTISTES WHO SOME PEOPLE ARE CRAZY OVER.
