MARK CURRAY EXPOSES P.DIDDY.
MARK CURRAY, former BAD BOY artist, from 1997-2005, has some things to say about P.DIDDY'S unethical work ethics for a while now. He even wrote a book titled DANCING WITH THE DEVIL, talking about all the unholy deeds of puff to artist on his label.
I see puff as a business man, as an entrepreneur, a capitalist, so i guess puff was just doing business. At lest a contract was signed before you went into the agreement. I think all these artist are just so excited to get a deal, and they do not know what they are worth, until puff starts to market them, and he makes million's off them, and gives them what is stipulated in their contract, but they see howmuch their albums have sold and believe they should get more than they are getting.
Mark curray did some ghost writing for puff from back in the day, and featured on a couple of bad boy songs, but i doubt he ever got to drop an album. I bet a lot of people do not even know who he is and have probably never heard of him. Below are some of his words concerning bad boy ceo, p.diddy;
"biggie was already on his way out the door. And i just remember the stories of when big would need money from puff...and they would be doing a show and biggie would not show up to the show until ten minutes before the show, and puff would be like 'where is he at, where is he at?' and that's where he would be his leverage. Like, biggie knew that puff needed him. If you break it down and look at the situation for what it truly is, biggie smalls made bad boy, bad boy is biggie smalls. A person like MASE that comes to puff and wants a record deal, automatically is willing to do anything he is gotta to do because he asked him for a record deal. So you gotta look at it like, you are willing to sell your sould for that shit right here'
Wow! That's some deep words. He has more to say below;
"i think the only person, man, that came away and worked off with a liltle bit of money is mase...so we can't say he is not doing nothing. As far as any other artist, if you can tell me another bad boy artist that is doing good, i would listen to you, other than that, i can't waste my time trying to think, cos i don't think there is one that exist."
Below are some lines from curry's new book, dancing with the devil, talking of diddy's work ethics;
"even worse, puff charged the artist for his appearances on their records and in the videos, usually without their realizing it until they received their royalty statements. That's when they realize that a large sum of their money had gone to fees which were doubled, trippled and even quadrupled because of puff...for example, for having his BENTLEY in their videos...which he insisted upon...then took a tax credit for the business use of the car"
Wow, puffy is one mean business man. But i guess he feels he has to get that money he has invested in the artist back, in the most legit way he can.
