    Diddy have a hard decision to make.Everyone in the group step up and prove themselves and for that is what you call real talent.Those 10 guys gave Mr.Diddy a hard choice to make.That means that they was on their grind and this making of the band 4 has been the best one.Good luck to the guys and big mike you have proven your self and impress everyone that was watching.
