Puffy, Chuck D Brave Heat To Shoot "P.E. 2000" Rock-Remix Clip

Not even a blistering heat wave could stop Sean "Puffy" Combs on Tuesday as he, Chuck D of Public Enemy, and a host of extras took the stage in New York to shoot a video for the rock remix of "P.E. 2000," the first single off Puff Daddy's upcoming album, "Forever.

The mega-mogul rapper plans to release three versions of the song (with three corresponding videos): a hip-hop version, a Latin version in which Puffy raps entirely in Spanish, and the rock version featuring Chuck D.

According to Puffy, he did the rock remix of the new single to show fans there's more to him than hip-hop.

[article id="1441442"]"I love hip-hop first and foremost, but I love music as a whole,"[/article] Combs told MTV News. [article id="1441442"]"I love just being able to express myself. A lot of times, people like try to pigeonhole you. You know, 'He's commercial...' or 'He's [a] gangster rapper...' 'He's hip-hop this.' I'm me. My music is a reflection of my lifestyle,

and I have so much diversity in my lifestyle, and I try to express that in my music." [RealVideo][/article]
