Diddy & Fam on the Cover of VIBE Magazine [HITS STANDS TODAY]
Sean Combs (AKA Diddy) covered VIBE Magazine's JUICE Aug/Sept Issue. Check out a slice of the interview here, as Diddy speaks on Dr. Dre, regrettable interviews, Lil Kim, and Nicki Minaj:
Dr. Dre said that the last beat that floored him was “All About the Benjamins.” How does that make you feel?
It’s humbling. I was in the studio with Dre the other day. He started working on a record for me. Watching him as a producer is watching greatness. We had a lot of similar traits. It was like looking in the mirror. He would ask questions like, “How you feel about this?” People don’t really understand true producers want to know how you feel about things. We are some of the most observant people on the planet.
What happened during the Martin Bashir interview on Nightline?
There were times in the interview when I had to give him an ultimatum. The questions weren’t being handled the right way. In hindsight, when I saw him I shouldn’t had done the interview because I know the style of interview that he does . . . The whole thing about giving a Maybach to my son, that’s really like a racist question. You don’t ask White people what they buy their kids. And they buy ‘em Porsches and convertible Bentleys and it ain’t no question. It’s really a racist question and put things back in perspective with money and the way that people still look at you. And I’m not saying that consciously he’s a racist. But he probably don’t even realize that he would not ask Steve Jobs that. He would be like Steve Jobs has that money and that’s the gift his kid is supposed to get.
Are the comments from Lil’ Kim about Nicki disheartening?
When I heard her say what she said, it didn’t really affect me. I didn’t get mad at her or anything like that. I knew how she felt. I ain’t agree with it. But also I know the motivation. I know that people say, “Oh, he’s trying to get a new Lil’ Kim.” I guess people will see in time. Yeah, Nicki’s had flavored wigs on, but besides that it ain’t even the same approach to the writing.
Kanye West Grabs Swizz Beatz, Mos Def, Nicki Minaj, and Kobe Bryant for "POWER" Remix
According to sources, Kanye West's "POWER" remix will feature some of the hottest artists in the game. Kanye tweeted on the progress of his sessions, "Scheduled studio visits 2day, Nikki [Minaj], John Legend, Mos Def, Swizz Beatz, Pusha T, Phillip Lim." Needless to say, he's back. He also mentioned, "I might have to put out 5 albums this year ... My spirit is full ... My heart is open ... People want new music ... I can't hold it back."
He also uploaded a picture that was taken from the studio, featuring Swizzy, Mos Def, and Kobe Bryant. Speaking on working with Kobe, "There's so many ways to break down the subject of power ... me and Kobe went in on it... Perfect person to help out on that." It should be a dope remix.

The Boston Celtics Sign Shaquille O'Neal
Congrats to Shaquille O'Neal, who just signed with the Boston Celtics. I can't say that I have ever been a die hard fan of the Celtics, so you'll have to excuse me while I gag. However, this upcoming season will be worth watching. Lebron, Bosh, and Wade in Miami...Shaq in Boston...what's next? Or should I say, WHO's next? The Pepper Zoo sends a special shout out to Shaq and wishes him the best of luck for the upcoming season!
