 (19 Customer Reviews)
Puff Daddy was nominated for the 1998 Grammy Award for Best New Artist. NO WAY OUT won the 1998 Grammy Award for Best Rap Album. "I'll Be Missing You" won and "Can't Nobody Hold Me Down" was nominated for the 1998 Grammy Award for Best Rap Performance By A Duo Or Group.
As in the case of Teddy Riley or Dr. Dre, it is not unlikely for a producer-extraordinaire to step to the forefront as an artist. With the release of NO WAY OUT, Sean "Puffy" Combs adds to an extensive musical resume. From hip-hop dancer to hit-making producer to CEO of Bad Boy Entertainment to recording artist, Puff Daddy has proven to be a man of many talents.
Puffy's debut as an entertainer showcases both hardcore ("It's All About The Benjamins Remix") and mainstream ("Do You Know?") hip-hop songs. As a producer, Puff Daddy is the master when it comes to sampling old records and turning them into new hits, as he does with his tribute to The Notorious B.I.G. on "I'll Be Missing You," which incorporates the music from The Police's "Every Breath You Take." Other songs give Puffy a chance to test his own rap skills, like "Is This The End?" which matches him up with the world's fastest rapper, Twista.
Recorded at Caribbean Sound Basin, Trinidad, West Indies; D.A.R.P. Studios, Atlanta, Georgia; Daddy's House Recording Studios and The Hit Factory, New York, New York.

Vibe (10/97, p.159) - "...with his new, imperious NO WAY OUT, Puffy places himself at the center of the pop universe....Ain't nothin' held him down yet....Say what you like, these tracks are soulful and charming..."

I hated Puffy Back in the Day...
....but I recently been listening to the mid-late ninties east-coast albums, and this to my surprise, graded out really high....it's more like a collaboration album than a Puffy-P-Poppa-Diddy-PD album, and i think that breaks this album up nicely. "VICTORY" is one of the hardest songs to come out of that era, and is an excellent song to lift/work-out too...it pumps me up so much..."IS THIS THE END?" has a solid hook, catchy story, and Twista just rips it like he does when he's focused..."BEEN AROUND THE WORLD" is rock-solid...and i was surprised by the song "YOUNG G'S"...this is Early JAY-Z, when he was lyrically at his best...this is a 7.5/10 album.

Was This Review Helpful? Yes No Back When Diddy was Puff
This album was pretty hot back in the day. Diddy was lacing tracks with some hot production, and displaying some whack dance steps. I don't really think much of 'Mr. High & Mighty', Sean Combs nowadays, but you have to love history. Too bad it wasn't in the making for Diddy.
