Whether you call him Puffy, Puff Daddy, P. Diddy or simply Diddy, we've all been touch in some way by hip-hop visionary Sean Combs.  On his 42nd birthday, celebrate Sean's contribution to hip-hop in our gallery.

As far as urban culture goes, Sean "Diddy" Combs is the dude who tells us what to wear, what to drink, where to go AND what to listen to once we get there.

And with an estimated worth of $500 million, he's a "hustler" while doing so.

And we've watched his journey of clubs brawls, baby momma dramas, and quest for love and fulfillment for a while now.

Let's celebrate the 42nd birthday of the man who made a vodka as much of a household name as Colt 45. 

Drink up...
