The Real Diddy - Harris Rosen
A Taste of The Real Diddy
Sean Combs IN HIS OWN WORDS!
We're in the world of entertainment. Hype has always transcended the music, the entertainment, the movie, the actor, the actress, the rapper, the musician. It hurts you when you go and look for the hype. One of the things with me is the hype just comes, and most of the time it comes in a bad way. It's not the most appealing hype that you would want to get, but somehow by me making it through it, being strong, usually the hype turns around into a positive.
***
A lot of things what you see is what you get. How I live, how I am. It's a lot of the personal things as far as me as a person, the shades off, or maybe being silly, acting silly, acting stupid. Some of that stuff doesn't come across as much. What you see isn't a facade of something fictional. What you see is what I am, whether you like it or not. It's close; it's a piece of what I am. It's not the whole component, but it's a piece of what I am.
This guy! I plead the fifth. This guy is nuts.

Dope questions, man. Very insightful, very thoughtful.

You like a Psychiatrist or some shit? This shit is just coming out but go ahead.

Definitely a real interview! Digging deep up in there, man. Not afraid to ask questions!

You didn’t wear your glasses, and you haven’t carried your hearing aid. What else is wrong with you?

Peace and blessing, Brother Harris. Thank you for inspiring my words. Keep ‘yo balance.
