Forever [PA] - P. Diddy (Cassette 2005)

Forever (for ev er): adv, For everlasting time; eternally First of all, f*ck Puff Daddy (or P. Diddy as he is called now, I m gonna call him Puffy for the rest of the review, because he still went by that name when this album was made). The guy represents everything that is wrong with Hip Hop and the people who spoil it. He is a sham, and only has a career because of his successful partner Biggie Smalls, who s death is the only reason Puffy finds the balls to act so cocky these days. It actually wasn t all that bad at first, as his solo debut, No Way Out, proved to be a banging album, though..

After the highly successful debut album Puff Daddy released a few years ago, people thought it might be difficult to top. In my opinion, those people where right and Puff Daddy disappointed all his fans with his sophomore album titled Forever. I must admit, I liked Puff Daddys first album. Critics argued that he sampled too many songs from older generations all the way up to the new stuff. I really didn't see too much of a problem with that. His music got you moving and was easy to sing along with. I remember seeing an interview with Puff Daddy a few months after his first CD was released....

When he released his first album entitled "No Way Out" in 1998, Sean "Puffy" Combs was designated as a new talent in the rap industry. This critically acclaimed album was all that it was cracked up to be. With hit tracks such as "It's all about the Benjamins" and "Can't Nobody Hold me Down," Puffy went on to sale more than 10 million copies worldwide, paving the ground for his way to stardom. He is known for sampling many old hit songs and transforming them into a new style of music. And it made him big. As CEO/Chairman of Bad Boy Entertainment, Puffy took many artists in and transformed them.

Yes, I have to admit, his first album was pretty phat and the joints on it were banging but Forever??? Freakin' horrible! The only song Puff has ever came out with that has his own original mixed beat and that hasnt been stolen from a whole other song, was Victory. He is so uncreative and unoriginal he should get the sh*t kicked out of him by the "real" rappers. If it wasn't for B.I.G., Puff would be a nobody. I definitely do NOT recommend you get this cd unless you are into crappy music, lame lyrics, stolen beats, and a corny-ass rapper-wannabe pretending to be on top of the rap game. P....
