Say what you want about Diddy now, but he definitely made some hits and his first solo album “No Way Out” got tons of play in my discman. That album made Ma$e a rich man, broke the Lox and Black Rob, and had guest appearancesfrom Notorious BIG, Jay-Z, Twista, Faith Evans, 112 and Lil Kim…. a veritable who’s who at the time. I remember riding in Christian Oh’s Black Integra GS-R with the album on blast, and both of us knowing every word to every song.

Anyways, I was having dinner with friends last night and en route to the restaurant,  “Going the Distance” by Bill Conti from the Rocky soundtrack came on Eric’s ipod and it reminded me of Puff Daddy’s “Victory” which sampled the song heavily. It also had a great video which borrowed its concept from the movie “The Running Man.” I had to find it this morning and as always, Youtube comes through in the clutch…
