P. Diddy ft. Keyshia Cole

about

P Diddy is a bit of a legend in his own lunchtime. The rapper has managed to create a huge empire based around clothes chain Sean John, whilst keeping public interest by constantly renaming himself - he says a court case made him want to move away from his previous name. Fair enough, restyling is not a crime, but moving from Puff Daddy to P Diddy? Not so much of a stretch. The king of 'bling', as those pesky North American rappers often chatter about, is still keeping his hand in musically, too, and the release of 'Last Night', featuring singer Keyshia Cole, is only the latest in a string of slightly lazy hip-hop releases for Diddy. The thumping opening isn't promising, but it's lucky that Cole's vocal lifts the track from the all-too-prevalent mediocrity so often flaunted by those in this section of the industry. P Diddy's work is a bit all over the place, but unlike many of his contemporaries, when he puts his mind to it, he knows how to create a stonking song. There are definitely hints of that in 'Last Night', which improves threefold once the main vocal kicks in, although it would benefit from a toning down of the plodding backing beat and the weak rapper backing vocals could be entirely cut out.
