It was poor mans version of MBDTF

I agree with you on the singles but the album tracks really keep it from sounding completely dated. Even if it does I remember the pre-streaming era fondly

Saw a pic where cudi was in the studio with diddy

i mean you're not completely wrong, and thats probably what overshadowed it entirely and blew it out of discussion

It was a mix of things mainly being no one takes Diddy serious as an artist.

For the actual album I was surprised at how good the QC on the album was.

The production value by itself should make people listen to it.

Coming Home and Hello, Good Morning remind me of WWE lol

it also says Cole was a writer too!

Really dope album, deserved a lot more recognition

Damn 10 years already. But i think I prefer MMM.

always thought cole wrote it

Nah it’s 100% Hov. Check the writing credits.

Skylar Grey wrote the hook
Jay wrote the verses

I always thought Cole wrote it and sent it to Roc and then Jay did his thing and didn’t release it and sent it to Diddy.

I know Cole wrote the most of it.

Imma say more then likely Jay wrote verse 1 and Cole wrote verse 2. Jay HAD to have written verse 1, it’s literally his flow.

Wouldn’t be surprising if Cole wrote the base of the song which is reflective and not person specific and Jay tailored it to Diddy by talking about the Twins, Biggie etc..

Jay 100% wrote the third verse.

remember when puff punked charlamagne over clowning him for this album. never seen his energy change towards someone so much.

i looked it up and actually cole wrote a reference track for puff but hov intervened and offered to write new verses for free

link?

You can't tell she's white just from the way she sings? She sounds like a white woman imo

Hov really doesn’t like Cole on the low tbh

Atleast Cole got those royalties from the songwriting credit

yeeeaaah.....hov for sure put this song together.

album wasn't bad
