Sean Combs
Busy business bee Sean Combs

Maybe you haven’t heard of Sean Combs but you certainly did hear of his alter ego Puff Daddy/P. Diddy. Combs isn’t just one of those rappers. Business, music, charity, politics,… Nothing is unknown territory to him.
This busy bee not only started his own record label Bad Boy Worldwide Entertainment, but also a marketing and advertising agency. For a normal human being this combination would be extremely stressful but not for Combs. He even went further: with lots of ambition he produced television series and started his own restaurant. The catering industry was warned. But this isn’t just everything! Last but not least he has a successful clothing line Sean John which stands for bling bling, hip hop and attitude. The fact he got a fashion award for his creations as a designer is the best proof he isn’t an ordinary “fashion-aware” black rapper.

From zero to hero: motivation is crucial

This media empire and his celebrity status didn’t come easily to him, coming from the inner city of New York. He has started his career as a rapper and collaborations with Mary J. Blige and Notorious B.I.G. were his first remarkable performances. His debut album followed soon. Two Grammies were the logical result of a 7 times platinum album. But Diddy didn’t get satisfied and he wanted more. Being convinced he didn’t belong in a box, he has used the music industry as a springboard to explore other businesses. With success. Sean Combs made the world his. What drives him and how does he manage all his companies? Well, Combs is a responsible man who’s very ambitious with a clear goal: rule the world. Loving what he is doing keeps him alive in the business. No one else is as passionate about what he does as he is. He also has the unique ability to see potential and bring out the best in people so his company keeps on running. People believe in what he does, because he’s so successful and he creates opportunities for other people.

    Sean Combs also known as Puff Daddy is one of the most influential music composers/ producers in hip hop today. He has overcome poverty after growing up on the hard streets of Harlem New York to become one of the biggest names of today’s celebrities.

Diddy has come a long way in his life and now is very successful in the music, television, and fashion industries. He is the true epitome of an entrepreneur, and as he would say, “ Don’t chase the money, chase the dream” (Puff).

    About Boosie

    Hatch was born & raised on W. Garfield St., a poor neighborhood in South Side Baton Rouge (SSB). It was notorious for drugs and violence, a place feared by the general population. Boosie grew up with his mom and dad who nicknamed him after the '70s funk legend, Bootsy Collins. Although being raised by both of his parents was a rarity in his neighborhood, Boosie still struggled with dysfunction inside and outside of his home. Around the time he was starting high school, Boosie decided to come clean on wax about some of the trouble he was getting into, "I started rapping on tracks when I was like 14 or 15, I was rapping before that but I just didn 't let anybody know 'cause I thought I wasn 't good enough." At fourteen years old, Boosie moved in to live with his grandmother after his father was murdered in drug-related activity. [2] Boosie became very involved in basketball to stay off the streets while attending high school and was actually expected to move on to college level basketball, but his involvement with drugs got him expelled from school. After being expelled from school, Boosie became serious about his music. Consequently, Boosie 's residency in Baton Rouge, which lacked a music scene, disadvantaged him from creating a diverse set of contacts and subsequently a lack of exposure. A mutual friend of Boosie and local rapper, C-Loc, introduced the two and before Boosie knew it, he was recording his homemade raps in a professional studio.…

    Tupac Shakur Biography

    With his tattoo-splattered physique, piercing deep-set eyes, and shaved head, Tupac Amaru Shakur came across as middle America's worst nightmare, the darkest strain of hip-hop. To fans, Shakur was only "thuggin' against society, thuggin' against the system that made me," as he once rapped. Like some other rappers, Shakur was criticized for his sexist lyrics He celebrated his mother, Afeni, but was equally capable of debasing women in his music. The contradictions hardly ended there. In his last video, "I Ain't Mad at Cha," Shakur--newly arrived in Heaven--saluted an old friend for quitting the "thug life." In "Only God Can Judge Me," Shakur foresaw death bearing down on him, yet seemed unable to tolerate his rival, The Notorious B.I.G. and B.I.G.'s mentor, Sean "Puffy" Combs. Shakur's "Hit 'Em Up," the last single issued during his twenty-five-year lifetime, set new highs of profane rage against B.I.G., who was later gunned down after Shakur's own untimely death.…

    Tupac Shakur

    Tupac Amaru was an eighteenth century Peruvian rebel leader who, although unsuccessful in profoundly altering society during his lifetime, became a symbol for independence and human rights for his people. Two-hundred years later a second great Tupac Amaru is destined for the same fate. Tupac Amaru Shakur was a revolutionary American rapper who used his art to speak and reveal the truth to the public as well as to corporate, government and judicial powers. Tupac’s rags-to-riches story and his constant attention to and actions to improve the ills of the ghettos and black communities represents themes such as agency in the midst of oppression, African-American culture influencing mainstream culture, as well as sankofa. He was a controversial public figure who, although his heart was in the right place, often did not go about dealing with the societal issues which most concerned him in the best way. At age ten, when asked by a minister what he would like to be when he grows up, he responds, “A revolutionary” (McQuillar and Johnson, 39). He truly was. At age twenty, he says during an interview that his lyrics are his battle cry to America (Tupac: Resurrection). They truly were.…
