I've always said Puffy Combs was the devil (Puffy Combs: that sounds like a hair care product for chicks with bad perms). I've noticed lately that many people share my sentiment, verbatim.   It's got to be more than coincidence that two of his flagship artists left his camp only to become religious zealots, one is dead, others have never been seen on the face of the Earth again (Craig Mack is not the type of man you'd walk past without… Read More
