Looking at many reviews before I pressed play on Diddy's new album, I thought it was going to be two hours long, but the duration isn't an issue. The problem is that there isn't any great music. The songs at the bottom of this review are decent but still aren't anything to rush back to, and then songs like 'Homecoming', and 'Tough Love' in particular, among others, are just boring. I can't believe I'm typing this, but I like French Montana's verse on 'Another One' and it's actually a highlight. Unfortunately 21 Savage does his best to ruin it with his wack and annoying rapping and adlibs. The lyrics are cliched at times, but for what is essentially a producer album, even though Diddy has lots of assistance on the boards, the production is the main focus and I expect more. Much is fairly standard alternative R&B whereas his last proper album, 'Press Play', has some inventive sounds. Also, on 'Stay Awhile' Diddy calls himself the "greatest rapper that ever lived"... C'mon man! Finally, respect to Mary for the R. Kelly lyric shout-out on 'I Like'. Beats: ★★★ Rapping/Bars/Vocals: ★★☆ Hooks: ★★☆ Best tracks: What's Love, Stay Awhile, I Like, Space
