Sean “Diddy” Combs is inviting his countless fans to get on board his upcoming “LAST TRAIN TO PARIS” with a limited edition iTunes App. The revolutionary Mosaic Legends free App – available now at the iTunes App store – heralds Diddy’s hugely anticipated sixth album, set to arrive in stores and online on September 22nd.

The LTTP App offers fans the chance to be part of the “LAST TRAIN TO PARIS” interactive experience by uploading their favorite photos to Diddy’s train mosaic.

In addition, the LTTP App features an instant IAMDIDDY Twitter feed, giving fans exclusive news, content, and promotions via the LTTP News (available only on this application).

“LAST TRAIN TO PARIS” is unquestionably Diddy’s most adventurous and groundbreaking work to date. The album sees the iconic superstar crafting an ingenious sonic mixture of electro-hip hop soul funk, ushering in what he describes as “a new movement called ‘train music.’”

“‘LAST TRAIN TO PARIS’ is deeper than any of the other stuff I have ever made,” Combs explains. “It’s a profound love story. It’s me with my shades off. It’s the truth.”

The new album – which follows Diddy’s critically acclaimed 2006 release, “PRESS PLAY” – features collaborations with a star-studded array of hit-making producers, including The-Dream, Tricky, The Neptunes, Mario Winans, T-Pain, and Rodney Jerkins.

“I’ve been a businessman for the past two years,” Combs says. “It’s time for me to focus on being an artist again. I am going to show the world a new refreshing side of me. Get on or get off!”

Is Diddy’s Twitter Making Kanye’s Blog Irrelevant?

Maybe! Earlier this week, Techcrunch’s Brian Solis wondered if Facebook status updates and Twitter feeds haven’t usurped some of the blogosphere’s authority. As a happily employed blogger too lazy to Tweet more than once every three days, we laughed and laughed. But now we’re starting to worry he might be right — when was the last time you read Kanye’s blog? And are you following Diddy’s Twitter?

If you were, you’d already know that in the past couple weeks Diddy has:

• Tweeted live during a tantric sex session (on the exact same day he reportedly hosted a Rihanna–Chris Brown reunion in his home).

• Taken a bubble bath while holding an Oscar.

• Enjoyed a ride in a stolen car with Jonah Hill and Hype Williams.

• Had a Twitter party to honor the memory of the Notorious B.I.G. on the twelve-year anniversary of his murder.

• Joined Jay Electronica in a 48-hour spiritual fast during which he could drink only natural juices.

As longtime fans of the Internet are well aware, batshit-crazy rap-mogul lifecasting was formerly the exclusive domain of Kanye West, whose once-revolutionary blog has covered such varied and exciting topics as puppetry, tea sets, and the latest innovations in bathroom faucetry — but when was the last time it felt vital? Sure, Kanye blogged right through two arrests recently — but those were months apart and last year! And, seriously, how long has it been since he posted an all-caps rant about something completely trivial? We can’t even remember!

Meanwhile Diddy — who heroically stays up way later than we do every night, yet still manages to get up hours before us — has been delivering every day without fail, often several times per hour. It’s not like we’re going to unsubscribe from Kanye’s RSS or anything, but we really hope he knows he needs to step it up — the blogosphere may depend on it.

Oh, and, totally aprop

From Kwasi Asare

“I sat with Diddy last night with a small group and heard some of the tracks from his new album. It was truly a historic evening. “Last Train to Paris” will change a lot of people’s perceptions about Sean Combs and about Bad Boy Records. This album will showcase parts of Diddy that the public has never seen and will test the limits of today’s fickle popular music pallet; the best part of all of this maybe Diddy’s new TV show on MTV, “Making His Band”. For the first time a show will allow you to see a lot of the creative process behind Diddy’s hitmaking machine first hand. Tune in.”

Xzibit responds on his MySpace to the alleged beef with P. Diddy

MR X to tha Z says: I HAVE NO BEEF WITH DIDDY!!!!!
Wow, so I wake up this morning and my phone is going nuts. I turn on the computer and find all this shit about me “throwing puffy under the gay bus” whatever that means. All this SPIN that you journalist are putting on the statements I made on a radio show to DIRECTLY effect a guy in a manor not intended is wrong. I got a call yesterday (which caught me off guard) from Diddy himself stating the club was an after hours spot called “space” I believe. The rumor mill that has ground this bullshit out to be the shit storm that it is, is doing so on its own accord. Like I said at the top, I have no beef with Diddy. BUT WAIT… a bigger problem I see is the negative stance these hip hop sites and blog sites are taking when speaking of gay people in general. All I can say to that is EOPLE GROW UP! I do NOT like to spread hate and make it a point not to do so, so this is not the way I intended this interview to unfold. You heard it directly from me ladies and gents, Im looking forward to the issues at hand that really mean something to both my fans and Diddys as well: ART & MUSIC.

thanks.
