Reviews Customer Reviews for P Diddy And Bad Boy Records Present We Invented The Remix      Nothing but Heat      Rating:      Don't listen to the other reviwers on this site, if you enjoy remix's and enjoy the work of Puff then you'll like this CD. Diddy has been doing hot remix's since his day at uptown. The Real Love remix which introduced us to a young Biggie Smalls is a classic. Sean "P. Diddy" Combs isn't your standard remixer. He doesn't just alter the beats of his songs; he re-writes his songs -- new beats, new vocalists, new lyrics, new everything. Of course, Combs doesn't actually do this himself. Rather, he outsources the work to his roster of producers (the Hit Men) and some of the biggest names in urban music. Stand out songs on this on include I Need A Girl Parts 1 & 2, Special Delivery and Dance With Me b/w Peaches & Cream. While I would've remixed Peachers & Cream into a slow jam this is still another catchy album from the Bad Boy Camp.     Customer Reviews for P Diddy And Bad Boy Records Present We Invented The Remix Cd      P Did dy. Honestly. What the **** is wrong with this guy and the radio pop rap of today?      Rating:      There used to be a time when rap was not synonymous with the likes of Hillary Duff. No longer is that true, if you call this rap. Puff wasn't that good to begin with, and I never owned any of his cds but I knew of him...anyway, by the time I heard he changed his name to PDiddy, I about laughed until I pissed myself. (...) Editorial Reviews for P Diddy And Bad Boy Records Present We Invented The Remix Audio Cd      Amazon.com      Don't believe the hype: Bad Boy Records did not invent the remix, the company has just done a good job using it. But the past is the past. Don't come here if you're looking for Puffy's earlier groundbreaking work with the likes of Jodeci and Super Cat. The "hits" here are of a more recent vintage, and if these remixes are any indication, it seems Diddy has reached the bottom of his bag of tricks. Screeching bells, Ghostface Killah, and the return of the MacK (Craig Mack) give G. Dep's "Special Delivery" (from last year's Child of the Ghetto) that hyped Bad Boy flavor of yore, but it's all downhill from there. Lines like "We used to drive the whole city wild" make listening to "I Need a Girl," Puffy's maudlin ode to ex-squeeze J. Lo, a cringe-inducing experience, and the producer-rapper's painfully weak rhyme ruins Mary J. Blige's "No More Drama." Most disturbing is Puffy's crass opportunism: Biggie's "voice from the grave" duet with Ashanti (on "Unfoolish") is downright creepy and ultimately unnecessary. --Rebecca Levine
