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 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:
