2009 seems to be on its way to being the year of the tell-all book. Former Bad Boy rapper Mark Curry has written a juicy book called "Dancing with the Devil," chronicling his life as a "Bad Boy" - where in which he admits it is not just a record label, but a bad omen, as well.
The book offers a look into the "fast paced, controversial, and sometimes deadly world of hip-hop music" and comes with "Dishin it Out," a compilation CD of tracks from former Bad Boy artists. Here's an excerpt:
"Puff has an annoying habit of inserting himself into songs and videos of all the artists on his label and it was common knowledge that many Bad Boy acts resented him for this. Puffy charged the artists for his appearances on their records and in the videos, usually without their realizing it until they received their royalty statements. That's when they discovered that a large sum of their money had gone to fees which were doubled, tripled and even quadrupled because Puff 'special appearances.' He charged artists, for example, for having his Bentley in their videos - which he insisted upon - then took a tax credit for business use of the car"
