Apple Shares First Trailer for 'Can't Stop Won't Stop' Sean Combs Documentary

[MacRumors]

Apple today shared the first trailer for Can't Stop Won't Stop: A Bad Boy Story, which is an Apple Music-exclusive documentary that covers the rise of Sean Combs (aka Puff Daddy/Diddy) and his Bad Boy record label in the mid-1990s, along with the 20th anniversary Bad Boy reunion show tour that took place in 2016.

The Bad Boy reunion tour is what led to Combs' partnership with Apple, after Jimmy Iovine attended one of the shows. In April, Iovine said that Combs' story is "incredible," "powerful," and relatable. "He really overcame a lot to get where he's at today and the documentary shows that," said Iovine.

As for Combs, he said he was "blessed" to be working with Apple to document the impact that the Bad Boys have had on fans throughout the years, including the death of Notorious B.I.G.

"I knew this was a story that should be shared with the world," Diddy said in a statement "Heather Parry and Live Nation Productions, and Director Daniel Kaufman, helped create this very special documentary. Now I'm blessed to also be working with Apple to showcase the film and share Bad Boy's history and impact with fans. The support Live Nation, Apple and everyone on the team has given to this project is a true testament to the Bad Boy legacy."

The documentary is produced by Sean Combs and Heather Parry of Live Nation Productions and is said to feature several legendary music executives and rare images and video. The trailer above, while shared by Apple today, was actually released earlier this week by Live Nation.

Can't Stop Won't Stop will be available exclusively on Apple Music starting on June 25. Apple has sole rights to the documentary for a one-year period.

I wonder if he'll talk about Suge Knight?

 

[szw-mapple fan]

Since Apple Music isn't platform specific, shouldn't news like this be put in something other than the iOS blog?

Iovine has no taste.

Iovine has no taste.

It's up to individuals to decide what they like. Not you, me, or anyone else has been selected as society's tastemaker.

 

[Mactendo]

Another documentary about black US rapper. I hope the new VP of Diversity will intervene and do something about such selection of promoted artists at Apple Music.

Sean Combs is as relevant to today's music industry as Gwyneth Paltrow is to the app industry

 

[satchmo]

Sean Combs is a legend...in his own mind.

Damn that's harsh!! He still produces a bunch of stuff and the label is working with different artists

I am an individual.

 

[Kaibelf]

I am an individual.

Indeed, and unless you are Jimmy Iovine, you were attacking another individual's taste rather than addressing your own.

Blessed (to work with Apple) = well paid.

Behave or he's going to shut the studio down!

Someone please tell me what Iovine brings to Apple, from here it looks like a steady flow of c-list celebreties doing un-inspired garbage. Am I wrong? What am I missing?

A documentary... about a musician and record producer... buy VH1, they have a trillion of those for you Apple.

 

[CaptMarvel]

'Cause its Bad Boy for life!!!

 

[WaxedJacket]

This should have been the trailer

 

[kwikdeth]

I used to think this guy was obnoxious. Then we got Kanye and suddenly Diddy was the reasonable one.

Much like you going on the attack at JustPerry for expressing an opinion.

So, in every post I make here I should state that it's my opinion, you did the same by stating your opinion, waste of time.

Can't Stop, Won't Stop, No Talent, Lucky to have Riden on Notorious BIGs Coattails, was the original title.

Steve Jobs said Microsoft had no taste. Did you have a problem with that or did you agree and find it funny like I.

So...if they make a documentary about an asian rapper you would be happy?

So no more need be said? Why? Are you asserting Steve Jobs had godlike perfection in his tastes?

According to this forum SJ is to be revered.
Seriously though Iovine is one of those people who made the game everyone is now playing. His influence behind the scenes is known throughout the music industry.

Flagged for racism. The people who liked it should be flagged, too.

 

[maikerukun]

Oh the joys of being one of the handful on Macrumors forums lol. But what can I expect, that dictator is normalizing the hate speech riddled on Macrumors forums all over again. :/

Anyway, I'm anxiously looking forward to this documentary as someone who realized Sean Combs has a net worth of $820million and is still heavily involved in both music and fashion industries...obviously.

Great job Apple. Keep on the path you're on...you have a very loyal fanbase that's growing out of this.
