Puff Daddy was nominated for the 1998 Grammy Award for Best New Artist. NO WAY OUT won the 1998 Grammy Award for Best Rap Album. "I'll Be Missing You" won and "Can't Nobody Hold Me Down" was nominated for the 1998 Grammy Award for Best Rap Performance By A Duo Or Group. As in the case of Teddy Riley or Dr. Dre, it is not unlikely for a producer-extraordinaire to step to the forefront as an artist. With the release of NO WAY OUT, Sean "Puffy" Combs adds to an extensive musical resume. From hip-hop dancer to hit-making producer to CEO of Bad Boy Entertainment to recording artist, Puff Daddy has proven to be a man of many talents. Puffy's debut as an entertainer showcases both hardcore ("It's All About The Benjamins Remix") and mainstream ("Do You Know?") hip-hop songs. As a producer, Puff Daddy is the master when it comes to sampling old records and turning them into new hits, as he does with his tribute to The Notorious B.I.G. on "I'll Be Missing You," which incorporates the music from The Police's "Every Breath You Take." Other songs give Puffy a chance to test his own rap skills, like "Is This The End?" which matches him up with the world's fastest rapper, Twista.

  Musical Target PracticeReview created: 12/07/00 by: ratnarat -- a member of Epinions  Pros: a bit catchy Cons: lame, low-quality, commercialized rap At first, one would think this is a normal, boring, run-of-the-mill rap album. After all, they're a dime a dozen today. Listen closely, and you'll find there's something very, very wrong with it. There's a few catchy songs on it, but they're catchy for a reason. Every, single, last beat on this album has been ripped off from actual artists. He can't even come up with anything original. The song "Every step I take" is a rap version of The Police's "Every breath you take". Down to the last beat and chord. The rap is boring and commercial; Puff has dozens of rappers "featured" in his songs; they do all the rap and he takes all the money. He has contributed little to the music world; if you think about it, how much actual work has he done on this album? About 20% of each song is him rapping, and the rest is done by The Lox and company. It is thin, soulless, synthetic music with weak vocals and rhymes. The "tribute" to BIG is so shallow you can see through it, the songs about life on the streets and gunfights show just how big of a poser he is, and the love songs feel made-up and phony. All the swearing and big-talking further drive the songs into the ground. Who cares how rich he and his boys are, how fancy their cars are? The music is terrible! But don't stop there. If you think this album is bad, check out the second one for a real puke-fest. The album Forever is so worthless, it's like it didn't even really happen. Puff Daddy should be humanely put to rest so we no longer have to deal with his lame and low-quality work. He may have been something a few years ago, but as far as I'm concerned, he's dead and gone. Sorry if I can think of anything else, but the album was so bad, there's not much left so say about it except: avoid it at ALL COSTS. Hopefully this review has helped you figure out the worth of this album; please highly recommend it if you liked it; if you didn't like it, please leave me a comment so that I can improve it. Thanks!
