In this episode of The Idea Of…, Bassey and Mike sit with the tension of being Gen X, being outside in the 90s, and watching the fall of one of the most powerful figures in hip hop culture. This is not a scene-by-scene breakdown of the documentary. It is a conversation about how Diddy became the blueprint for fame as reward, how Bad Boy shaped the way we dressed, partied, and saw black excellence, and how all of that now sits next to stories of violence, manipulation, and sociopathy.

They talk parenthood & distance, empty nests and loneliness, mobster energy in the music industry, and what it means when the people who built the soundtrack to your formative years also tainted the memories attached to those songs. From Wendy Williams and Mase to 50 Cent and Trump, Mike and Bassey trace the networks of protection, power, and silence, and ask what we do with nostalgia when we finally know the whole story.
