Doody Still Cashing In on Fallen Friend

Well, it seems that Sean "Doody" Combs just can't keep from fleecing the public courtesy of his long-dead friend, slain rapper Christopher "Biggie Smalls" Wallace. He will release Notorious B.I.G. Duets: The Final Chapter on December 20th, which pairs Biggie with rap/r&b fols like Jay-Z, Eminem and Mary J. Blige. As if that's not lame enough, he takes the idiocy one step further, having Biggie performing "duets" with also-deceased performers like Bob Marley, rapper Big Pun, and Biggie's sworn enemy, Tupac Shakur.

When I heard that last one, I was so embarassed on behalf of the Wallace family for Diddy's lack of respect for anything... as long as it will make him a buck (or a shitload of 'em), who cares, right?

There's no way in a thousand Hells that this is really the "final chapter" in Diddy's exploitation, is it? I mean shit, next he can weave some unreleased tracks together and have Biggie waxing philisophical on morality, Will to Power and crack-dealing with Ghandi, Nietzche and 50 Cent. Oh, you think I'm kidding...
