Was Puffy 'Raisin' the Roof?

Sorry. Really.

Last night was P. Diddy's Broadway debut in the new revival of "Raisin in the Sun." So naturally, we were hoping that, this morning, there would be all manner of reviews panning his performance.

It's not so much that we think that people shouldn't try new things, it's just that when people do try new things, they should be severely punished for it. And when you think about it, how many people deserve to be punished more severely than P. Diddy? We count six, tops.

Unfortunately, the rebukes were not nearly as harsh as we would've liked, and everybody said pretty much what you would've expected them to. The NYT said that Diddy came up short, while The Post exuberantly gave him props. No surprises there.

Okay, it's certainly possible that Diddy might actually have some kind of raw theatrical talent. It's not the case that his abyssmal flow on the mic should have anything to do with what he can do on Broadway. We sincerely doubt that John Gielgud could impress anyone with his rhymes, unless they were put into his mouth by Shakespeare. And sure he's not going to be Sidney Poitier, but what if he turned out to be something wonderfully different? Nonetheless, we can't help wanting to throw our hands up and say "Come on! It's P. Diddy! How good could he possibly be?!"

The prudent thing to do here would be to actually go see the play and make an informed judgment. However, as with most things, we prefer to just save our money and assume that we're probably right.
