Diddy
Album : Press Play
Release Date : Oct 17, 2006
Label : Bad Boy

Review :
Diddy is set to return with his first album in over five years, when Press Play hits shelves October 3. The album will supposedly be straight R&B and will include vocal spots from the likes of Christina Aguilera, Mary J. Blidge, Ciara, Brandy and Nicole Scherzinger (aka the only member of the Pussycat Dolls you could pick out of a lineup.) The real news though, is that there will not feature a single sample. "After you press play, it’s gonna make or break you in this game," the entrepreneurial hip-hop artist/producer told MTV News. "That’s where I’m at. We about to press play on October 3, and hopefully I can make people feel good."

Diddy has been working on the album for a year-and-a-half with collaborators including Kanye West, Pharrell Williams, Mary J. Blige, Brandy, Pharoahe Monch, Just Blaze, Will.I.Am and Fergie from the Black Eyed Peas and Havoc from Mobb Deep. The choice for the disc’s first single is a toss-up at the moment between "Touch Me" (featuring Christina Aguilera) and "Come To Me" (with Pussycat Doll Nicole Scherzinger). The first track leaked from the album is "Get Off," which features Diddy talking about dancing on street corners and in his basement. "It really captures the energy of the movement," says Diddy of the song. "Being from Harlem, when we dance, we call it ’getting off.’"

This album is aigh...I give it a 8 out of 10. He definitely stepped up from those days of sampling and shiny suits. I doubt he wrote any of the lyrics on the album because his flow is crazy on some of the tracks. I don’t think I can really press play and just let the whole album run like he thought we’d be able to do. Songs to listen to : "We Gon’ Make It", "The Future", "I am", "Partner’s for Life", "Everything I Love", "Last Night", "After Love", and "Testimonial". But thats just my opinion.

P.S. - This board is for comments...yall should give feedback on an album instead of being haters. If you think Diddy or the album is gay, wack, or whatever, then explain why. Some of the comments sound crazy and have nothing to do with the album or the artist.
