...tonight.”Take it from Chiappini, who has lost hundreds at the track and has been eavesdropping on guys in jean jackets since he turned 18: there is a system. Amateurs like to bet based on the dog’s name. Sure, “Nitro Diddy?? and “MJ’s Go Fast” sound quick and “Get Out Debt” may appear to be a dog for the fiscally responsible. But real pros look deeper in the night’s racing program. They look...
...Doe”—it’s just not great. Killah’s notorious storytelling is nowhere near as enchanting as usual; a problem that’s exacerbated by the similar lack of engaging, energizing beats. Ghostface relies heavily on Diddy??s production crew, The Hitmen (Sean C. and L.V.), who mostly just contribute mediocrity, as they did on Jay-Z’s recent “American Gangster.” But Ghostface hasn’t really fallen off, either.

That night, I was invited by none other than the film’s director, Alexandra Lipsitz, to join...
...this being Diddy??s album, the most important question is how much money it will make. And from this standpoint, it has not been successful: his first single from the album “Come to Me,” featuring Nicole Scherzinger of the Pussycat Dolls, has peaked at only no. 25 on the Billboard Hot 100. Ultimately, record sales of “Press Play” will likely determine if the mogul’s time is better spent cultivating artists and his clothing brand, instead of continuing to promote his own music...
