The best thing about Diddy vlogs is that he really sticks to the format, i.e. a long rambling monologue with little to no forethought about a subject that’s primarily of interest to an audience of one. It’s such a great way to get your point across (it’s a horrible way to get your point across), that it’s only a matter of time before all the media moguls start talking into their i-Sight cameras (it is not a matter of time). Today’s entry is after the jump, and it features some NSFW language near the end, so headphones.
Fair enough. Now who’s going to tell him that Hancock sucks? I mean, Diddy’s right about the ways in which lack of representation in popular culture can be harmful to the group psyche, but I’m pretty sure him getting excited about Hancock is like me going nuts for The Hebrew Hammer. Not to mention the fact that it was such a strain for Diddy to even name white superheroes, I’m not convinced that it was something that bothered him. If it was, he might have remembered that Spawn was black, just for example, as well as John Henry Irons’s Steel, and a long list of others. I’m not saying that Diddy doesn’t have a point insofar as there hasn’t been a really mainstream black superhero due to the historical bigotry of our country, but at this point you might as well hold out for a decent one. You didn’t see me poop my pants about The Zohan.

fuck diddy. this guy’s a tool.
i fondly remember the days when i would come to stereo/videogum to specifically NOT hear about shit like diddy.
Those days never existed on Videogum.

I love how he fondly remembers the days when he would run home to read about superheroes and then struggles to remember four of them.
didn’t hate hancock. it’s sometimes bizarre, but it’s also possible that it’s an overstretched extended allegory burdened by excessive stylization that doesn’t fit with the superhero idiom. didn’t feel ripped off after i saw it, though. people actually clapped at the end.
and anyway, it was better than meteor man or blankman.
But saying that it was better than meteor man or blankman doesn’t really say it was good. It just says it was not as crappy as those films. Not worth my $.
Diddy is forgetting Panthro. the black Thundercat.
Jim has it right – Meteor Man and Blankman. Although, Meteor Man had POWER. Fuck Puff Daddy. Yeah, not Diddy. You can’t just change your name. YOU ARE NOT a superhero.
Will Smith – Get Jiggy with it.
Puffy – Learn to drink vodka before you sell it.
