Diddy Featured on XXL’s Cover for the First Time Ever!

Diddy stalled hopping on his Last Train to Paris to spend a
little time with XXL. The hip-hop mogul appears in XXL magazine’s upcoming
June issue and it’s his very first time being featured on the publication’s
cover.
In the comprehensive interview written by Thomas Golianopoulos, Puff
gives insight into his ubersuccessful business mind, his new album, Last Train
to Paris and he reflects on his grind to the top to become hip-hop’s number one
mogul.
He also looks back at his overall impact on the industry and culture.
“I am the champion of hip-hop” Diddy says in the story. “Hands down, undisputed,
I’m the undisputed heavyweight champion of hip-hop. We are going to have to deal
with those facts. There is nobody that can fuck with me with what I do, which is
getting busy. We are going across the board, as an entrepreneur, innovator,
motivator. Who was there first? Who traveled to Europe first? The first. The
first. The first. The first. I was the first.”
In addition to the P. Diddy
story, the June issue features an in-depth reported piece on the untimely death
of rap legend Guru of Gang Starr. Speaking with family members, friends, his
former group mate DJ Premier and close friend/business partner Solar, XXL tries
to make sense of the beloved lyricist’s final days, while also exploring the
mystery behind his last days.
The magazine also pays homage to the 20th
anniversary to the making of Ice Cube’s classic solo debut, AmeriKKKa’s Most
Wanted and gives a detailed guide to hip-hop’s plethora of reality
shows.
XXL’s June issue will be in stores nationwide on June 1, 2010. —XXL Staff
