The Saga Continues is a compilation of the efforts of many artists hailing from the Bad Boy Camp, headed up by CEO, P. Diddy a.k.a. Puff Daddy a.k.a. Puffy a.k.a. Sean Combs. Call him what you will, this producer/emcee has been fighting an uphill battle ever since the death of label mate, Notorious B.I.G. The release of The Saga Continues comes at a time when P. Diddy's Bad Boy Records is actually on the rise. In fact this album serves to celebrate the Bad Boy Family, and includes contributions from Black Rob, G-Dep, Mark Curry, Loon and Cheri Dennis. Outside the family, featured artists include Eightball & MJG, Carl Thomas, Faith Evans, The Neptunes, Kokane and Marsha.

The album left a dirty taste in my mouth. There were too many tracks laced with boring R&B for my liking. As well, several beats sounded very familiar, and therefore didn't seem fresh or appealing at all. They include the single, "Can't Believe" which takes the beat from The Firm's hit single "Phone Tap", which was produced by Dr. Dre. "The Saga Continues" uses the beat that nearly every basketball tournament uses to announce the starting lineup, having worked basketball games for eight years, I'm sick of it. "Where's Sean" sounds strikingly similar to Eastern Canadian rapper, Classified's "Juno Massacre". As well, the old school sample for "If You Want This Money" was used very weakly.

At the same time, the album housed several impressive tracks. "Let's Get It" is hot. I can't get enough of that beat. "Roll With Me" features Eightball & MJG, and provides a funky laid-back beat that suits their style perfectly. As well, "Lonely" and "Diddy" were impressive.

Overall, I was disappointed with The Saga Continues. It proved to me how a great marketing and ad campaign can land an album in the top ten for more than a couple of weeks. P. Diddy needs to check his style and re-evaluate his camp. This album is falls far from what it should have been with P. Diddy's years of experience.
