I admire Diddy for being a businessman, but not as a musician.

Diddy is absolutely awful, what he does isn't sampling, he is basically just rapping over an instrumental version of another artist's music. I understand that a lot of people don't like electronica and dont like hip-hop, but when people make comments about the lack of talent involved in creating either genre, it only makes them look ignorant. Just like with Rock Music, Hip-Hop and Electronica do have some artists who are less talented than others, but creating either style of music well does require a high level of talent.
