Diddy will be the first person to admit he is not the best rapper in the game. During his short reign as "Puff Daddy," Diddy often reflected a lot of the praise to the real lyricists in the game. He said he tries to make music the people enjoy. But, when it came to putting down hard lyrics, he was not that guy.
Last Train to Paris is to be the final album from Diddy. After all, he only entered the actual music-making as a hobby. But, following the death of Biggie, someone had to carry Bad Boy. In time, though, his label has become as renowned as Def Jam. The success of Bad Boy has made Diddy into an international businessman.
Because the hip hop game has made him into one of the wealthiest men in the world, Diddy has delared himself in charge of the rap game. He said it, himself, he is running the rap game. It may not be his music, or his label, but Diddy is the only person Rick Ross listens to. Right, now, the game is run by Rick Ross.
With Diddy's influence over the top rappers in the game, such as Rick Ross, he does, in a way, run the rap game.
