Dear Diddy and Nelly



I know we all love to pay tribute to those who died, but don't you think you guys have taken it a little far now? I understood the remake of 'Nasty Boy' on "The Biggie Duets," even though tribute albums always suck. I understand Diddy's friendship (we don't even know how serious it was, people) with Biggie and that he made Diddy the man he is today. I even understand that Nelly needs a hit more than Ashanti needs to cut her sideburns. However, this is uncalled for. You all should be ashamed to put Biggie's voice on this, much less tarnish the song with your mediocre lyrics and lack of actual talent. It's a damn shame that both of you are bastardizing this man's sound and legacy so you can stay relevant. Seriously, Nelly you weren't even that serious of a rapper. The whole St. Louis wave died out when you decided to do a collab with Christina Aguilera, so why would you think this crap would bring you back? And Diddy, we already know what your deal is. No other man in the HISTORY of humankind has dick-rode his way to the top in as obscene a way as yourself. How many times are you going to use Biggie to advance your own name? I find it funny that as soon as Biggie died, you went from his personal cockholder to a star in your own right. I guess having another man's face on your money is the hot shit nowadays. Whatever the case, if this track is from"Last Train to Paris," best believe that shit will sell like a lead balloon. I hope you saved 1,000 stacks because the recession might be hitting close to home after dust clears from this bomb of a record...
