My Disappointment in Puff

My Disappointment in Puff

October 4, 2024

I was supposed to write this article a while ago, but I’m glad I waited because now I have more information to work with. I’m actually Diddy’d out (pause) but I have to give my two cents before I quit paying attention.

I.PUFF’S INFLUENCE

If you know me then you know Puff was a super influence in my upbringing and creative life. It was easy to admire the guy, He had the swagger, the bravado, the success in multiple arenas, black guy from unfavorable circumstances like, genius in music, and overall a shining beacon for someone like me to follow.

The Puff influence ran deep, my first drank of alcohol was Ciroc, I only took it because Puff made it look cool and I wanted to support cuz. I believe I was around 20 years old too, so you see how long I waited not to drink alcohol and only did it because one of my role models did it. Growing up, people would always compare to Ye or Puff, due to the way I dressed, mannerisms, and most people were aware of my life aspirations.

II.DARKSIDE OF PUFF

Like everyone has mentioned this dark side of Mr. Combs isn’t new, we literally heard rumors since we heard who dude was. My idea of Puff before the levy broke on him was ,he was a shrewd businessman but he was a cool fun guy just don’t sign to him! lol. I thought that’s the only thing you would have to worry about the guy, don’t be his artist directly and otherwise you can pretty much rock with him (wrong lol).

https://soundcloud.com/gettothecorner/sets/boss-vibes-puffy-style

The funniest thing about all this is I remember conversations I would have with one of my guys around 2015/16. We were working on my underground cult classic, Boss Vibes Puffy Style, (people used to tell me how much they loved that tape, still get spins today but its not on DSPs, head to soundcloud lol).

Anyways, while we was working on that tape dude would always make a joke about Diddy, calling him “Bisexual Puff”. I’m used to crack up but I used to defend him like man “Boy is not bisexual please quit putting that on him”. He used to be like boy you are an idiot lmao. Then he also said “Boy you gon be so disappointed when you meet these n****” I never thought about that sentence afterwards but lately that sentence been reverberating in my mind.

III.A CONFUSING FALL FROM GRACE

I never met Puff and probably won’t at this point, but I was always confident that I would but now I guess I’m glad I won’t? Its so confusing man, boy was such an indirect integral apart of my life. All the Sean John I used to wear, I even had Sean John shoes! You know I was in too deep , who the hell had Sean John shoes??!?!

Damn BIG, imma still listen but this Puff stuff wild man

I even made “Can’t Nobody Hold Me Down” the theme song of my life. You know how wild that is? My entire life lmao. Out of all the songs I could’ve chose, I thought that best described me best now its like the song is tainted. (sorry Mase). I even though “Victory” was literally the greatest rap song ever made, (I still think that) and I thought “Life After Death” is the greatest album of all time.

When I make albums, I don’t even finish an album without listening to Life After Death in full, its basically a ritual for me.

What I can’t understand is why would he destroy his legacy for his penis? Like bro them sex demons was on your head beloved! You ain’t have no control! lol. I was holding out a glimmer of hope when the Cassie suit first broke, like man we don’t know we gotta wait.

But the moment that video dropped the hammer dropped. Even then I still held a shiny glimmer of hope, like you know people get into arguments and wild out with their girl all the time. But all hope was lost when he kicked her. Once I saw that it was like I seen him sign his own death certificate.

Like man you did not have to kick her man, then you dragged her back to the room like bro are you nuts?! Why would you do that? Everyone who askst hat question gets told the same thing, his drug fueled ego was is downfall. People are starting to say this is a learned behavior, he grew into this, man I don’t care about none of that. Puff had ful agency and knew right from wrong just as good as he knew to say take that take that every two seconds.

IV.BOY RUNNING FROM HIS PAST OR SOMETHING

I resignated with what Charlamagne said on Brilliant Idiots on one of them episodes. It hurts to keep seeing cultural icons destroy their own legacy with their own hands. And I’m not buying the liquor lawsuit conspiracy even though I know how petty institutions can be when you cross them but regardless that liquor company ain’t force him to have freak offs and go around acting like he was in the Gotham. Boy took the Harlem vibes too far, he really thought he was Money Mitch or Bumpy Johnson or something, boy thought he was still in Get him to The Greek or something man I don’t know what was going through his head lol.

However I know it gotta be a crazy stinger to spend damn near 30 years in wealth to overnight sleeping in a cell next to rats while being afraid of being poisoned. Its not worth acting like you’re bigger than the program or untouchable just for you to eventually get touched. Don’t ever forget this, everybody can get touched!!

V. BAD BOY FOR LIFE

I think the next step for Puff is getting his soul right with Christ. Jesus is literally the only person that can save him at this point. Them Federal Boys on him tighter than a leather dress!

When people get this deep especially like him I wonder did he ever think of his family in all this? Through all the jerking of artists, the violence, the sexual deviancy, the outright evil acts, he ain’t never think “man I should chill out for the sake of my kids”. Especially after having a newborn in your 50s! Like Damn its time to grow up and chill out man.

But when you do the things like Puff do, one can only ask, What is he running from? its clearly something, what’s in his past that occurred that brought him to this point? I think the people who are or were his supporters deserve to know to gain some understanding on this? I know most people don’t care about him and is glad to see him rot but think if this was your family member.

No matter what you would your family to get a shimmer of mercy even for the most heinous acts. Does he deserve mercy at this point? Probably not but I’m praying its at least some mercy on his soul because its looking like he’s cooked in this life. However, God is a greater judge than anyone in the Southern District of New York, they can take your life away but God can take your LIFE away, don’t let that go over your heads!

Damn Puff, you messed up big time beloved, can’t call you my mans no more, it was fun while it lasted. Damn…

THE SYMBOL OF PEACE

The Symbol of Peace

July 26, 2024

I've been binge-watching My Hero Academia on Netflix. With news that the manga is in its final arc, I thought this would be a good time to jump in and see what I've been missing all these years. Man, I thank God I did—I love this show! From the first episode, I felt young Midoriya's passion. The episode was filled with so many emotional triggers, reminiscent of early Naruto. Then I was introduced to the inspiration for this article, All Might! I instantly liked All Might because he's one of those characters, like Gojo, who is recognized and heralded as "the symbol of peace."

I was watching the episode where All Might first faced off against All for One, the series’ main antagonist at that point, and he was on his last ounce of strength. The remaining embers of his fire were blazing as he looked out to take down the foe whose existence posed a threat to all of Japan! The way people showed admiration for him even in his most vulnerable moment sparked a fire inside me.

I might have been taking this show too literally, but at that moment, I, too, adopted the moniker of "the symbol of peace," which is even more fitting for me because I’m a lawyer. I remember several years ago when word first got out that I was pursuing a career in law, my church members would say, "Here’s our civil attorney right here." My mother and I would always laugh because we both thought, "Man, we’re on the money; I ain’t trying to be that." But if you know me, or can even tell from my articles, the plight of the small folk touches my heartstrings in a different way.

In a prestigious profession like mine, I’ve seen people stricken with ego and lose touch with others. I never wanted to be like that. My first lawyer job was working as a staff attorney handling evictions. Saving people from losing their homes at all costs was life-changing. I had a special connection because, a year prior, I was in most of those people’s shoes—a broke guy trying to cross that bar at all costs!

When people put their literal lives in your hands, you’re given a different level of responsibility. Knowing they don’t have the knowledge or tools to fight for themselves, yet they entrust you to fight their battles—it's something I could never take for granted.

One of my main driving factors in blazing this path to wealth is to help people, and not just in talking points—literal helping. I will create housing programs that will help students so they won’t have to worry about such things while in school. I will buy city blocks that will have transitional houses, where people can live for a year while receiving a monthly stipend. The goal is to get them financially literate and give them a jumpstart, to move out on their own and continue stability for their families. I will have galleries where up-and-coming artists can have showcases like million-dollar artists.

I will continue to be the hope for the hopeless and the voice for the voiceless. The light that shines for those in the dark. The current that powers the circuit of hope. The bridge from failure to success and the ladder from disbelief to faith. I am now and always forever, the symbol of peace!

Convenient Money!

Kamala Harris' Presidential Run

“hehehehe I’m kamala momala cabala”

This is not the source to get your political news, but just in case you’ve been under Patrick’s rock, current Vice President Kamala Harris is now officially running for President of the United States after Biden’s sudden departure from the race. Since running, Kamala has raised $81M in 24 hours, which are record-setting numbers. When I saw that, I couldn’t help but think the same thought every time this happens: “Where is this money for the less fortunate?”

Money for Crisis, But Not for the Poor

Ukraine gets money, we had money for the stimulus during COVID, and every time this gets brought up, somebody wants to put their economics knowledge to use and explain inflation. I simply don’t think that is an excuse. Being able to raise that much money for one person could literally be done for some urban areas in America. It could supply monthly stipends, provide decent housing for the homeless, not just shelters that are barely hospitable. It could help provide food that isn’t canned and doomed to hell but actual quality foods. Why is it so hard for people to care about the less fortunate and those affected by unlucky economic situations?

Personal Responsibility and Wealth

#screwinflation

When I become wealthy, I want y'all to hold me to the fire and make me remember the promises I made to help those who came from similar situations as me. I didn’t grow up the worst, but like most people born in urban communities, I experienced some setbacks. I know what instability feels and looks like. I know what it’s like not knowing where your next meal is going to come from, living check to check, being carless, taking two steps forward and one step back. I just know how it feels to have life give me its ass to kiss despite working EXTREMELY hard to subvert those circumstances.

cuz signing that stimulus package that will NOT be returning lol.

The Need for Opportunity and Assistance

After all that hard work and strapping up them damn bootstraps, people simply need opportunity and assistance, a financial head start similar to what children of the wealthy are provided with. I also wonder, when stories like these surface, do the people donating ever think, “Man, we gave our money pretty easily to this. Maybe we can actually help a community out.”

Challenges of Implementing Change

Then, when people actually commit to making actual change, the people they are helping get engulfed with jealousy, which is triggered by perpetual lack. They don’t even know how to handle someone from a similar background acting as a benevolent figure. In other words, people are haters, and it's messed up out here.

Deserving a Decent Life

Nonetheless, everyone on Earth still deserves to live a decent, humane life. Not everyone has to be in Range Rovers or wear vintage Chanel that CoCo never even had; people just deserve to experience some of the wealth that many of the elites hoard. Sure, you worked hard for your money; it’s your choice to do whatever you want with it. However, at certain moments, the government and institutions alike should let morality kick in and do what it takes to save people from desolate poverty, no matter the cost.

Can't Give in To Every Craving!

Can't Give in to Every Craving!

July 25, 2024

Buckle in, because today’s lesson is a wild one. At 5 AM this morning, I found myself in a predicament that hasn't happened since college, with one memorable incident back in high school.

There I was, on the toilet, my stomach in knots, feeling like Sukuna and Maki were battling it out inside me. To make matters worse, the toilet was already on the fritz. Maintenance hadn't arrived yet, so I had to apologize in advance for the horror they'd soon witness.

As I showered, I knew I had to share this lesson: you can't give in to every craving. Last night, I was up late, working on two new songs for my upcoming album, My Deepest Discovery. I might release one next week. I was also watching JaeRiddle break down the new JJK leaks.

Of course, all that made me hungry for a snack. It was past midnight, I had already worked out, and eaten chicken and broccoli. But those Hawaiian Sweet Roll Bagels from Kroger's were calling my name. It wasn't the bagel that got me—it was the cream cheese.

Every time I have one of these violent bowel attacks, it's always from eating cheese late at night. I always end up thinking, “Was that pizza really worth it?” And it never is.

So, I got a brutal reminder that I can't give in to my cravings so easily. This lesson applies to everything. When something is calling your name, and you know better, resist. Otherwise, you’ll find yourself in a world of trouble, wondering why you played yourself.

Don’t be like me. Learn some self-control, especially late at night, or you might wake up on life's toilet with a stomach in turmoil.
