Synopsis

Amazon.com
When MC Lyte rapped "Beat biter / Dope style taker / Tell you to your face you ain't nothing but a faker," she wasn't referring to Puff Daddy, but those words may have echoed in the brains of many non-NY producers--especially those from New Orleans and the Bay Area--upon hearing the bad boy don's second solo effort, Forever. For much of the latter part of the '90s, many New York rappers have included a couple of token G-funk or bounce-influenced tracks on their albums, but on Forever, Puff takes it to extremes, with almost half the album falling into that category. One would think that Puff's lazy, unskilled drawl would fit perfectly with the foreign sonics, but instead, his mumbling is more blatant, twitching erratically like the proverbial fish out of water, especially on cuts like "What You Want" and "Satisfy You" (where he loops the Luniz' classic "I Got 5 On It"). Where he sticks to the usual plan, he pulls it off steadily, and on "Journey Through the Life," a powerful posse cut with Nas, Beanie Sigel, and Lil' Kim, he's created a NY thug cut par excellence. Just goes to show you can't teach an old producer new beats--even if he pays royally for them. --Jon Caramanica

Where it all went wrong...
Minh Nguyen | Bilthoven, the Netherlands | 12/10/2000
(1 out of 5 stars)

"This is where it all went wrong for Bad Boy. As soon as Puffy and Mase released their second album, Puff Daddy thought it would be a good idea to change his sound completely and be on the foreground a bit more - bad mistake!This album is full of below average songs, bad beats and even worse rapping. Some ripped off as well. "Satisfy You" is just exactly like "I Got 5 On It" from Luniz - only the lyrics have been changed!Puff Daddy, give us a break and please don't rap nor sing anymore - stick to producing.I wanted to give this album 0 stars, but I think I'll throw one in just for his effort."
FUELED BY THE PRE-TEEN SUBURBOBRAT

"This is a weaker version of one of those NOW CDs. Hasnt he made enough money from BIG, cant he stop even after the man is dead. When will people stop buying this. Who buys this. I think its the 12 year old suburban brat who runs to mommy, crying "give me more money and have the made drive me to the mall, unless i get a shiny jacket, a fubu shirt, and the new Puff Daddy CD, the kids in my private school wont think Im cool""
