that proves my point when he started Bad Boy.

i got it on good authority that another young Songwriter and producer who was happening at the time got passed over by Clive in favor of the budget going to Puffy. a R&B producer who could play and write.

Now Clive already had LAFace set in place and he had a opening and instead he went to the Push Button era of Puffy.

tell me with a straight face that Puffy didn't take himself serious as a Producer? and as a Artist while riding off of his 80's songs?

please explain away how Clive Davis opened the wallet to a un talented turkey like Puffy?

or Jimmy Iovine clearing all those samples for Dr Dre and others?

Tommy Mottola doing the same thing at Sony. please explain it away?
