Press Play celebrates the Hip-Hop formula, not the Hip-Hop craft.

This is the first long player we've had from Sean Combs for some time - five years in fact. Since The Saga Continues he's been fighting a tough musical battle, completing but not releasing a gospel album and embarking on an unsuccessful venture into house music that initially rocked the Miami music conference in 2003 but had little impact above ground. And the less said about his move into the world of fragrance, the better!

Still, thanks to his hunger and drive, Press Play is the first Diddy disc that compels us to press replay.

Saying P Diddy is a unique individual is putting it politely. At once influential and laughable, a new album from the man who took hip hop from the streets and made it America's biggest selling commodity is always going to be a big deal. Just not always for the right reasons. Let's not forget, Diddy reinvented hip hop from behind a desk, as CEO of Bad Boy Entertainment.

Press Play is the, ahem, artist's best album since 1997's No Way Out, and it's an easier listen that one might expect.

Press Play is a product of Diddy’s vision for a forward-thinking hip-hop record that tosses in lots of R&B and flashes of techno.

Blessed with more cash than talent, Diddy buys his albums more than he makes them. It is no secret, he even once wrote (or had written for him of course), "don't matter if I write rhymes, I write checks." That's cool, I respect Puff for his business acumen, not for his flows.

Press Play is like an episode of My Super Sweet 16: though lavishly decorated and probably an honor to be invited to, there's a megalomaniacal presence that ensures the whole party is about glorification of ego rather than actual fun.

Boasting cameos from Blige, Brandy, Nas and Christina Aguilera, Press Play might have cost millions, but the problem remains — Diddy seems reluctant to obscure his rubbish rapping by using it to say anything interesting.

Granted, thanks to the kind of company Mr. Combs' platinum chain reels in, almost half of these tracks have some modest amount of entertainment value to them, but all the Just Blazes and Rich Harrisons and Big Bois and Pharoahes and Kanyes and Nasirs in the world can't cover the Proactiv-shiny mug up front, the shifty but proudly brand-name-not-person-name emblazoned on the border, the voice that bumbles through every song -- the voice that, no matter how much it tries to assimilate the art of its betters, still can't rap worth a shit and has (due to the well-published character of its speaker) reverse Midas touch on anything of worth it might have commissioned from real poets.

Kudos to you Diddy! This album has a sultry twist of R&B, techno and hip-hop. This is definitely an album to beat this year. He has stepped his game up and shown everyone that he is more than a businessman. He helped bring hip-hop to life and on Press Play, he shown eveyone who he really is. WATCH OUT FO DIDDY! IT'S DEFINITELY BAD BOY FOR LIFE! |

I really liked all the songs. It's really different from anything he's ever done.The vocalist who did the songs with him are really talented and give the songs more rhythm. He really did come back harder and with something new! |

there are only a couple of good songs on this album, but in almost all of them he leeches of the talent of other artists to make them good (with poor results most of the time). I wonder if they'd be anywhere near as good (not that they're good in the first place!) if they didn't feature other artists so much. |

Forget all that other stuff your so called fans are talking about. I love this album, especially number 5 w/ the children singing! I know your doin' yo thang and I appreciate the fact that you didn't stop making music because you have a family now. The best of luck to you and your family! |

His Cd was butt. Tell Me is the ONLY song I listen to. Every other song has someone else singing. It should have been called "Diddy & Everybody else". I will press stop. |

Some of his songs were good...but most of the tracks were just about his girl...I think he shoulda just made one copy and given it to his girl instead of making it his latest album... |

this album was garbage.diddy was never a good artist unless he was on a track with biggie. the only good parts of the album was when other people were singing. It sounds like music that was made in someone's garage. |
