Quincy really didn't say anything that we didn't already know, lol....Diddy has ghost writers and takes credit for beats that he doesn't make......I respect him for finding talent (like Biggie), but musically...yeah.....lol

Somebody who knows a Bb <grin>.
Diddy is one of several successful 'musicians' these days who, it is true, are not truly musicians in the sense of having a grasp of music theory. Instead of writing original music, they sample music performed by others.
Puffy is really a producer.. an excellent producer at that. The producer is responsible for delivering the product to the record company on time and within the budget. That's what puffy does.. he gets things done.. makes creative decisions that usually workout very well. He's not a musican producer.. or a songwriter producer.. he's a traditional producer.. the producers today.. because of advances in technology are actually combination writers/musicians/engineer producers.. they do the whole thing.. but that's not what puffy is.. the thing that differentiated Uptown's music back in the day.. with Heavy D.. and Mary J Blidge and nem.. was the production.. the quality of the mixes was fantastic.. the overall product was really really polished.. That was Puffy. His musical sensibilities are undeniable.. even as a non-musician. Quincy is just doing his old man "these kids today" routine.. both of them are good at what they do.. Quincy's work on the musical score for Alice Walker's "The Color Purple" stands out in my mind as his greatest work.. It's really what brought that movie alive.. I felt that work even more than the work he did on Off The Wall and Thriller with MJ..
