Puff Daddy Shares Surprise MMM Behind-the-Scenes Documentary, Filled With Very Puffy, Very Inspirati

Tied to the surprise release of MMM, Hip-Hop’s Man of Many Names has also surprise-released a companion, behind-the-scenes piece. The 14-minute gift plays like a celebrity game of I Spy, intercut with making-of vignettes and no dearth of motivation straight from the music mogul’s mouth. (The latter of which might make you feel lazy, but can also be used as a how-to guide for becoming more productive.)

Watch Armani Ortiz’s whole mini-doc above, and revisit some of the rapper’s most classically inspirational moments, time-stamped below, to get a peek into the mindset that led to MMM:

• “Y’all gonna have to have goals, man. I’m trying to be great — you’re moving like average human beings. I didn’t come here to just fucking die. I came here to live, man. Change the world and be great. I need more, more, more, more, more — I need more than anybody […] I want to be the best, you guys don’t want to be the best, man. You’re being average. You think you’re doing something that nobody’s doing? Real talk.” [0:05]

• “I’m not the guy like Kanye West … what you see is what you get. I just like to dance in my living room.” [1:31]
