A Decade Ago...

Believe it or not, a decade has passed since... well you can see for yourself:



Yes, that was 'Puff Daddy' back in his prime -- "Public Enemy #1". Perhaps the breakdown (if you can call it that) with Mr. Combs showing off his skills may go down in history as the all-time, most unnecessary and useless waste of money. In a time where your music video had to use the full $1,000,000 budget; the two helicopters, the Lamborghini, extensive wardrobe changes, not to mention the ice... this just didn't seem to be enough for 'puff'. He absolutely needed to make the video an extra 45 seconds longer to accentuate the story line with a one-man-dance-routine.


And of course in order to get your medium out to the largest market possible, you slap the words "Rock Remix" on yet another video, feature said 'remix' with Chuck D who is actually in PUBLIC ENEMY and well, you end up with something like this:



And yes... It has been 10 years since Sean "Puffy, Puff Daddy, P. Diddy, Diddy" Combs was P.E. 2000 (aka: Public Enemy #1)
