    He is the poster boy for the phrase "too much information!" hide show

    He keeps getting on the news for the nastiest things. He videotapes himself in the bathroom. He tells us how long he has sex with his wife, what parts of his body are shaved, that he likes to dance around naked after he has a shower, all in really graphic detail. Nobody needs to know these things! He really seems to have a massive ego. He also seems to have an anger management problem considering all the legal trouble he gets into. I hate it when celebrities make millions and millions of dollars but they still won't pay child support until they get sued. That's disgusting.

    A great performer. hide show

    Ok, when it comes to Diddy, what's not to like?
    He is a great performer, a favorite of mine, talented and a multi-hundred-million-air.

    Though I wouldn't say he is the best of all time.
    I would say Diddy is just another one of the greats.
    I wouldn't say he is original, because him and B.I.G where quite similar back in the 90's, all the music was.

    But Diddy has grew to be an individual leader now-a-days.
    So he is original now, but since I don't feel he started out to be one, he aint one.

    He's doing great now, I feel some of his music.
    I will just give an example of a good song.
    "Victory". That's a great song from Diddy, I suggest you download it, or buy it or whatever. An update-remake of the song came out 2 years ago called "Victory 2004", that's great too since it has 50 cent and Lloyd Banks included though I recommend hearing the first version first.
    It is also featured in "EA: Fight Night 2004" Which is a great game too.

    Diddy also has a show "Making the band" which is also great and must be tough, it's a show about lot's of people who audition to become rappers or singers, he decides who is the best and makes them into a band. Must be great for him.

    Well to round it off, Diddy is a cool dude! Really, He is a great performer all-round.

    This review is basically written to help those that feel that Diddy is entirely to overrated. In the review I list just a few reasons as to why this guy may be totally underatted if anything. hide show

    I really feel that Diddy is underated in pretty much everything that he does. The guy not only has a top clothing line, a best selling cologne, a successful record company, and restaurant. Not to mention he just landed a cooking TV show. So how could this guy be considered overrated. People that are overated dont seem to stick around in the limelight for as many years as he has. Now im the first to admit that i dont think he is a strong actor, but i never heard of him getting any nominations or awards for being a good actor.

    1.2 Abysmal
    Often mistaken for another band. hide show

    Due to his nick name "Puffy", my favorite band has to called by another name due to this which just sucks. Shouldn't have been nick named "Puffy". Other than that, i have no other problem with him. It is just a shame to see that he was nick named "Puffy" & my favorite band had to go by another name here in AMerica.
