Diddy and the fam cover the Aug/Sept. issue of VIBE. Hit the jump for some excerpts.
Dr. Dre said that the last beat that floored him was “All About the Benjamins.” How does that make you feel?
It’s humbling. I was in the studio with Dre the other day. He started working on a record for me. Watching him as a producer is watching greatness. We had a lot of similar traits. It was like looking in the mirror. He would ask questions like, “How you feel about this?” People don’t really understand true producers want to know how you feel about things. We are some of the most observant people on the planet.What happened during the Martin Bashir interview on Nightline?
There were times in the interview when I had to give him an ultimatum. The questions weren’t being handled the right way. In hindsight, when I saw him I shouldn’t had done the interview because I know the style of interview that he does . . . The whole thing about giving a Maybach to my son, that’s really like a racist question. You don’t ask White people what they buy their kids. And they buy ‘em Porsches and convertible Bentleys and it ain’t no question. It’s really a racist question and put things back in perspective with money and the way that people still look at you. And I’m not saying that consciously he’s a racist. But he probably don’t even realize that he would not ask Steve Jobs that. He would be like Steve Jobs has that money and that’s the gift his kid is supposed to get.Are the comments from Lil’ Kim about Nicki disheartening?
When I heard her say what she said, it didn’t really affect me. I didn’t get mad at her or anything like that. I knew how she felt. I ain’t agree with it. But also I know the motivation. I know that people say, “Oh, he’s trying to get a new Lil’ Kim.” I guess people will see in time. Yeah, Nicki’s had flavored wigs on, but besides that it ain’t even the same approach to the writing.

Welcome to The Darkside indeed…
martin bashir is an idiot and he may even be a racist, but thats not a racist question.
1.rick ross is going to be the new shyne in 2 years, cause diddy is going to screw him over.
2. cassie’s pussy has taken the shape of a ciroc bottle, and will continue to be diddys cumdumper
3. Red cafe – is a joke
4. Dirty Money – will be just like lil kim and get screwed.
5. Janelle please get awawy from that man you are too talented
Never sign to badboy
I’ll never understand why Jay Electronica fucks with Diddy. Fuck Diddy.
red cafe put a fucking hat on, you look like a coon. i’ll shine your head for a nickel look ass nigga
So he puts the niggas that aren’t signed to the label on the main cover, and the niggas that are signed to the label on the inside? Where do they do that at?
Sooooo Diddy made it a damn PUBLICIZED EVENT to throw his 16 year old kid a celebrity party, give $10K in cash, and a $360,000 car, but it’s RACIST to be asked about it? WOW WOW WOW WOW WOW.
I’m sure this wasn’t his way of telling the public he really loves his kid. The attention whore pulls the race card about it. Pure ignorance. Yeah I’m mad.
Man This Some Ol Bullshit (Stinkmeaner voice)
1.Why the fuck cassie look like she got on shoulder pads & about to yell “We Must Protect This House!”
2. Wtf is a red cafe!?!
3. All them about to be broke in a year or 2, if they already not.
The people on the front cover are the ones with albums in stores right now, while the rest in the inside aren’t.
yo damn…i have to say im faithful that cassie hasnt whored around with diddy etc…shes always been finer than the spotlight bitches like rihanna and beyonce etc, so i say u guys are callin her a ho n shit just cus she had pics leaked and still has a record deal…simply haters, shes still the finest gtfo fags. fuckboys.
“I was in the studio with Dre the other day. He started working on a record for me. Watching him as a producer is watching greatness. We had a lot of similar traits.”
