Diddy-Dirty Money & Usher're 'Looking for Love'

"Last Train To Paris" is still making stops. Despite what you may think, Diddy Dirty Money's "Last Train To Paris" is still choo-chooing out singles along with visuals to accompany them. This time, Diddy has now revealed that he's still desperately milking what he can from his latest studio installment "Last Train to Paris" which has been in stores since last December, by dropping a music video for the seventh track "Looking for Love" featuring two superstars, as Diddy re-teamed with his former protege and R&B/Pop crooner Usher for the new video.
Diddy Dirty Money & Usher know that while they may be seeking to simply produce a 'movie' in the club for their latest video that females are "Looking for Love" and that they are the primary targets. Indifferent to the attempts, Diddy acknowledges that one of the females pursuing to indulge in his lifestyle, and Usher is aware of the devious intentions so he watches because knows the female interested in him even wants the lovely cutie that is accompanying him. Neither Diddy nor Usher seem worried about the fact that they are spending their "Dirty Money" on women that claim to be "Looking for Love" but are really hoping to be attached to their celebrity, fame and wealth.
Diddy and Usher know something about finding love in awkward places and in the clip for "Looking For Love," Sean Combs adds 'Rick Ross Impersonator' to his laundry list of ventures while Collin Tilley does his own visual magic. For the most part, it's a standard affair but with Tilley on the verge as one of hip-hop's now most sought after director's, it seems bigger than it should. Whatever it true intentions are, its clear from the video that neither Usher nor Diddy are lacking in the confidence department. Although it is inconvenient that the artists keep looking in the wrong places, the Colin Tilley-directed visual is worth checking out.
The clip finds the both superstars hit an underground club, charming the ladies by inviting them back to their table. All in the name of love. Club scenes are dispersed in between scenes of Usher and Diddy performing atop a rooftoop overlooking the city's darkest, most Gotham-esque corners while extolling both the virtues of and warning against an irresistible woman who may be after love. Dirty Money's Dawn and Kalenna aren't singing on the track, but are as glorified extras seducing the camera with their suggestive moves in the dark visual.

Diddy-Dirty Money - "I Hate That You Love Me"

Diddy-Dirty Money drop yet another visual off of The group's first album, "Last Train To Paris," is currently in stores now. This one premiered on MTV Jams last week, finally a clean rip of the video, is for "I Hate That You Love Me." The Rodney "Darkchild" Jerkins-produced cut serves as the latest promo single. I love this jazzy-funky tune. Not strong/mainstream enough though to be an official single, but for a 'buzz' effort it works!
The R&B/Hip Hop/Rap trio hasn't exactly been keeping a low profile lately, with appearances on a smattering of talk shows and a whopping six videos from "Last Train To Paris" in the last few months. Now the latest, "I Hate That You Love Me," has dropped, featuring Diddy and the 'Dirty Money' girls getting wet and wild, playing with their own shadows, and looking red hot against a luscious crimson background. The smooth, piano-driven "I Hate That You Love Me" is an enjoyable song, which has a great hook and decent verses from Diddy. it offers a different sound, with some piano and Diddy dropping lines just to hear his own voice.
The black and white contrasted video is one of the smoother Diddy-Dirty Money videos. It turns out to be a plain basic simple but effective and show persistence at promoting the highly hyped project that has the trio singing the tune and moving a bit. Diddy himself plays the piano, while Dawn and Kaleena two-step around the grand instrument. Of course you can see Diddy doing some of his famous dance moves as well. The red-white-black concept was really cool. Beyond an appealing color scheme and a ludicrously sexy string quartet, there aren't a lot of frills here. Easy set up and recession-friendly as expected but if you are a fan of the song, you may get into it.
Though cheap, indulgent, and utterly pointless, the fact the video was even recorded is a testament to the trio's undeniable hustle. "Hustle" being something they'll have to continue doing to push the star-studded LP, which Diddy-Dirty Money are clearly not playing with it. The "Last Train to Paris," is a concept album in which Diddy's character takes an emotional journey from London to Paris and falls in love with a mysterious lady. It's refreshing to get a concept album in a genre that would usually conflict in, considering that more recently, we haven't gotten to see as many sides and dimensions of hip hop and R&B. There's most definitely something for everyone here.

Diddy-Dirty Money Are "Coming Home"

Sean "Diddy" Combs picks up his Dirty Money girls, Dawn Richard and Kalenna Harper, in the desert and brings them home in a helicopter. The trio group, Diddy-Dirty Money unveiled the Rich Lee-directed video for "Coming Home" to the world last night via E! News. The song is the fifth single taken from their upcoming star-studded album "Last Train to Paris," in stores on December 14. After the promo at the 2010 American Music Awards and the great take off on US radio, Diddy and Dirty Money are still waiting for that last train to Paris to arrive.
"Coming Home" featuring vocalist Skylar Grey on the hook, which was produced by new 'it' producer, the British Alex Da Kid, and co-written by Jay-Z. The song poses some serious questions, like what happens after partying and Ciroc-drinking ends and it's time for real-life. Diddy and his ladies, Dirty Money, get self-reflective on "Coming Home," the newest midtempo tune starts with a simple piano intro and the beautiful vocals from Skylar Grey (Da Kid's artist) before Diddy raps that he's put his mistakes behind him and is ready to return home, while Richard and Harper take over the rest of the choruses, and soulfully sing about coming home.
"Coming Home" finds Diddy doing some soul-searching in his rhymes as the chorus echoes his need for salvation. The setting of the video is out in the middle of nowhere, and Diddy is shown walking out into the desert, while talking about trying to "go home." Diddy and his ladies are taking a more serious look at life as Diddy returns to his 90s "Puff Daddy" rap flow for the track. Wandering through the arid landscape, Puff happens upon the remnants of a burned house and the shell of an old car, with Richard and Harper trailing behind him. The trio reunites in the end, zipping away in a helicopter.
An electro hip-hop soul funk experience blending elements of UK grime, Mediterranean techno and the 808s of American hip-hop. Withdark, atmospheric beats and a cinematic back story, the new effort, "Last Train To Paris," represents entirely new side of the rap impresario, a sound Diddy calls "train music," new dance music for the new decade. "All our records are gonna be about love, feelings and emotion. It's a love story and the most vulnerable album I've ever been involved in. It's raw emotion - you get a feeling, a vibe." Sure, this album will make you dance, but Dirty Money is more than just dance music. It's a movement. The trio group isn't just more of the same. It's an organic group that grewout of a shared passion for music.
