[QUOTE="OldskoolDazed (al), post: 599931, member: 6"] i knew it Sean Combs was raised in a middle class corner of northern Harlem, and then from the age of 12 in the leafy suburb of ‘Money Earnin’’ Mount Vernon, where his friends christened him Puffy (he won’t reveal the exact etymology). He’s very grateful for the “blessing” of a comfortable upbringing, and thankful for the education he gained at Washington DC’s proud seat of Black learning, Howard University. As a teenager he had tasted performing: dancing in a few videos (Fine Young Cannibals, Babyface, Diana Ross), and done some modelling (In Essence with Stephanie Mills, and in an ice-cream ad), but he wanted equally to be the power behind the scenes. While at college he secured himself an internship at André Harrell’s Uptown Records, travelling frantically between DC and New York, and juggling this unpaid job with his studies and with his booming student career as a party-promoter. He started at Uptown, as he recalls, washing cars, getting coffee and running for tapes, but after the departure of a key A&R executive, the young Puffy took his boss to dinner and sold himself into the vacant position. lol proper gangsta aint he :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup: [/QUOTE]
