Late last year, Diddy, going back to his old Puff Daddy moniker, released the shockingly strong free mixtape MMM. The videos he's released since have, by and large, been a lot of fun. Today, he's got a new clip for "Auction," a posse cut that features old Bad Boy roster fixtures Lil Kim and Styles P, as well as Baltimore up-and-comer King Los. For the clip, Puff linked up with another old collaborator: Hype Williams, arguably the greatest rap-video director of all time. Like Williams' classic "Flava In Ya Ear" clip, this one shows nothing but the rappers, in crisp black-and-white, against a plain white background. And it works on charisma and quick-cutting momentum, even if it does force you to confront the sad reality that Kim has had so much plastic surgery. Check it out below, via Complex.
