Flashback Friday: Alexander O’Neal and P. Diddy & The Bad Boy Family

Man, these past few weeks have been absolutely brutal. This weekend I’m determined to rest. Don’t even try calling me – I guarantee you’ll catch the voicemail.

To celebrate my restful weekend, here’s what I’m listening to. What about you?

Charles Clark is calling out fraudulent friends.

Alexander O’Neal, Hearsay (1987)

Charles said: “Fake” by Alexander O’Neil: Nice background that you can move to, it’s like your calling a person out but you’re being jovial about it so it doesn’t come across too mean initially. The song applies to so many people lately. Got a “friend” being less than truthful? Play this track for them and just give them ‘the look’ that says: “yeah, he’s talking about you.”‘

Edward begrudgingly admits it’s Bad Boy for Life.

P. Diddy & The Bad Boy Family, The Saga Continues… (2001)

Edd said: “Despite the fact that Puffy’s main talents are yelling at people, screaming “take that take that” and dancing around in rain puddles, the man somehow has a surprisingly strong discography. When I picked this album up in 2001 I didn’t expect much but it’s a pretty solid collection, thanks to contributions from his Bad Boy cohorts.”
