There is a lot of resentment that goes on against Bad Boy, and most of it is unmerited.
As an EIC for MXyMAG.com the differences in opinions came to blows several years ago when a writer named Diddy’s Bad Boy as a failing label, to which I rebutted that Sean Comb’s Bad Boy label is actually one of the few ones standing and consistently producing music aside from Def Jam - that’s something that even Jay-Z can’t claim to right now.
