Easy taught me!

Sarah, I'm sad to say I'm not feeling this new Diddy song.
But I do love Coming Home and this Dirty Money collaboration. Diddy is definately the father of reinvention. Can't wait to hear the whole album - so far it looks better than his last one.

What, no love for new Kanye?? I have to say MBDTF is my favourite Kanye album so far. C'mon, how can you not love The Blame Game?!

Kanye is my f-cking hero.

I am even tempted to buy one of the limited edition scarves he designed in collaboration with M/M (Paris), except i don't think I could pull it off.

Here is Kanye on the cover of Vman with actual dollar bills stuffed in his mouth. I have this issue at home – the best cover I have seen in a long time. Brilliant.





Sarah: I love the cover. I still hate Kanye Fucking West.

Diddy - Dirty Money - I Hate That You Love Me

Here are five reasons I love this song:

1. It is incredibly catchy
2. P.Diddy (or whatever his name is now) is on the piano
3. His "Dirty Money" counterparts (Kalenna and Dawn Richard - Dawn is from Diddy's hand made Pop girl group "Danity Kane" circa 2005) are hot and can sing - with attitude to boot!
4. It made me listen and watch the rest of the songs from the album - and I love them all too
5. I then bought the album and was not dissappointed!

As much as it feels like a strange direction for Rappers and OG's to be moving into the pop/dance realm of music it works for Diddy - Dirty Money. It might be the collaborators (Chris Brown & Usher are at their best here), it might be way the album is listenable from start to finish - whatever it is it's working - in ways that it didn't work for poor old Kanye West and his crapola album My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy.

I'll send you the album - it will be music to your ears.
