Sound Bite: Derek Luke – “Sean Combs” – Notorious
You know what, this role did seem, a little overwhelming at first and I needed some confidence and um, what I had to do was back up and say wait a minute, Diddy is the alter last ego of Puff Daddy is not the guy that I’m asked to play, I was asked to play actually Puffy, who was the artist the entrepreneur in the time of the movie he didn’t have his own company, as a matter of fact in the movie, it’s starts the birth (talk) of what Bad Boys was, and um, so he was a totally different person, but what helped me for this film, was that I got a call from Puffy and he told me that he believed in me, he told me why I was his choice. |

Sound Bite: Derek Luke – “Sean Combs” – Notorious
I met Puffy just an acquaintance, no more than 5 minutes, (talk) and that was our interaction. OC: How long ago was this? Derek: This was, probably a year (talk) prior |

Sound Bite: Derek Luke – “Sean Combs” – Notorious
Yeah, he’s very, very, he’s very, very, Puffy is very well spoken that’s why I love playing him, because he has such handle on the sound of music and the direction that it needed to go and as matter of fact in the story, you know, he’s convincing and telling Biggy. “Hey man I have this idea, I’m confident I’m sure, just trust me. |

Sound Bite: Derek Luke – “Sean Combs” – Notorious
Yeah, I was very familiar with Notorious during this era. OC: (Talk) Derek: Yeah it was, and doing research for this film, I found out that east coast, west coast, wasn’t necessarily a word that Puffy and Biggy said to each other, it was actually a word that was generated from a media and it just made me very intrigued that these guys were more so kind of like, not involved but involved and it was almost like they were victims of something that they didn’t create |

Sound Bite: Derek Luke – “Sean Combs” – Notorious
I think, what I learned about Puffy what makes him a survivor and extraordinary, is that he had instinct for change and timing, he knew when it was time to change, weather it time to change music, or when it was time to get out of situation, he knew how to ignore the media, he didn’t know necessarily, or anticipate that you know the east coast, west coast was going to come about, but he said you know what, I’m just about the dream, I’m just about the vision, I’m about making this paper so, you know, I think he had a very visionary scope about him, |
