This was the future brain trust of a company worth hundreds of millions. How could I have missed that...
...every man can wear white fur and diamonds and still get the babes. But not every man is PUFF DADDY.

...Conference in Miami, tearing up the Cameo with their irrepressible funk-house meltdown and rode their fat beat steed straight into a hot and hungry bidding war over what know-it's everywhere are dubbing the hottest thing to happen to house music this decade. Their freshly released debut album Remedy--everybody's favorite new album--has been hailed as the album of the year, and the eponymous cure to all the things that have gone wrong with house music. And this summer, they were all over Ibiza like a rash...
