    Ordinary Joel Found a new way to flow

    “I’m going to put out my last album and devote 100 percent of my time to doing films,” Puff Daddy tells Cigar Aficionado. “I want to stop at a great place. And a final album is a great place to stop. I want to take a victory lap, to do a world tour and really enjoy it once last time.”

    He has played with the idea of his upcoming album No Way Out 2 being his final release before, but it appears the hip-hop mogul has settled on the decision and is ready to focus his time and energy elsewhere. The end of his illustrious 20-year music career will free up time for his film pursuits and never-ending list of business endeavors—as well as allow him to be around his kids more.

    “I have such a deep appreciation at being able to be a father,” he says. “My father didn’t get the chance to be there for me. That makes me appreciate the opportunity that much more deeply. I stress the importance of that to my kids—that you can’t take having a family for granted.”

    He also touched on his ambitions for the final record, saying, “If you’re not putting out albums all the time, you have to come back in a way that grabs attention. People are always looking for what’s next – but the cream always rises to the top. I’m going to make it the most honest and best that I can. If I can be fearless with it, nothing can stop me.”

    The full interview will be available when the issue hits stands May 3.

    I will not be crying even if he wont release no way out 2. Puff has been musically irrelevant for so many years that his retirement will be completely harmless for the music industry.

    Puff hasn't made any good music in over 15 years. And the only good acting he ever did was in Get Him To The Greek. :') This guy has made alotta money off doing alotta nothing.

    Dude is responsible for the deaths of Pac and Biggie since Biggie wouldn't have got killed if it wasn't for Pac's death, which he set up.

    So f--- Puff, it's about time he f----- off.
