Faith Evans & 112] - I'll Be Missing You [Remastered In 4K] directed by Hype Williams from No Way Out (1997) Provided to YouTube by Rhino Atlantic I'll Be Missing You [Feat. Faith Evans & 112] · Puff Daddy · 112 · Faith Evans No Way Out ℗ 1997 Atlantic Records Second Engineer: John “JM“ Meredith Mixer, Recorded by: Michael Patterson Lead Vocals: Puff Daddy Mixer, Producer, Recorded by: Sean “Puffy“ Combs Producer: Stevie J. Writer: F. Evans Writer: Sting Writer: T. Gaither Writer: Gordon Sumner Auto-generated by YouTube. Original Video👇👇 “I'll Be Missing You“ is a song by American rapper Puff Daddy and American singer Faith Evans, featuring R&B group 112, in memory of fellow Bad Boy Records artist (and Evans's husband) Christopher “The Notorious .“ Wallace, who was murdered on March 9, 1997. Released as the second single from Puff Daddy and the Family's No Way Out album, “I'll Be Missing You“ samples the Police's 1983 hit song “Every Breath You Take“ with an interpolated chorus sung by Evans and interpolated rhythm. The song also interpolates the 1929 Albert E. Brumley hymn “I'll Fly Away“ and features a spoken intro over a choral version of Samuel Barber's “Adagio for Strings“. At the 40th Annual Grammy Awards, the song won the Grammy Award for Best Rap Performance by a Duo or Group. The single spent eleven weeks atop the US Billboard Hot 100 and reached number one in 15 other countries; it was the best-performing single of 1997 in Iceland, the Netherlands (Dutch Top 40), and Romania. With shipments of over three million copies in the United States and over one million in both Germany and the United Kingdom, the song has become one of the best-selling singles of all time. “I'll Be Missing You“ is based on a sample of the 1983 single “Every Breath You Take“ by the Police. It also uses an interpolation of the “Every Breath You Take“ melody, sung by Biggie's widow, Faith Evans. Permission was not given for use of the sample, and Police songwriter Sting sued, receiving 100% of the song royalties. Sting reportedly earns $2,000 a day from royalties for the track. Police guitarist Andy Summers called the sample “a major rip-off“, and told the A.V. Club: “I found out about it after it was on the radio ... I’d be walking round Tower Records, and the fucking thing would be playing over and over. It was very bizarre while it lasted.“Sting later performed the song alongside Puff Daddy and Evans at the 1997 MTV Video Music Awards in September. The track also reuses the melody from the hymn 'I'll Fly Away“. Combs' verses were composed by rapper Sauce Money. Combs had originally asked Jay-Z to write the track but, he turned it down and suggested that Sauce Money write the track instead. Tom Sinclair from Entertainment Weekly gave “I'll Be Missing You“ a grade of D, and described it as a “maudlin 'tribute' to the Notorious ., [in which] the late rapper's former mentor (Puff Daddy) and wife (Faith Evans) team up to say their farewells to the big man on a song that 'samples' the Police's 'Every Breath You Take'. With lyrics like 'Know you're in heaven, smiling down/Watching us while we pray for you,' 'I'll Be Missing You' gives the lie to those who claim hip-hoppers are above self-serving sentimentality.“ Freelance music writer Jeremy Simmonds described the song as “somewhat turgid“. Ian Hyland from Sunday Mirror rated it nine out of ten. He commented, “Not the greatest rap I've ever heard but this tribute to murdered rapper Notorious . is going to be . In a mish-mash of The Police's Every Breath You Take and John Waite's Missing, the highlight is Faith Evans' amazing voice.“ “I'll Be Missing You“ topped many charts across the world. It reached number one in the United States, the United Kingdom, Australia, Austria, Denmark, Flanders, Germany, Iceland, Ireland, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Poland, Romania, Spain, Sweden and Switzerland. he song debuted at number one on the US Billboard Hot 100, and the only rap song by a male to do so until Eminem's “Not Afraid“ debuted at the top spot 13 years later in 2010. The song spent a record-breaking 11 weeks at number one on the Hot 100, making it the longest running number one hip hop song in history. A music video was made to accompany the song, directed by American director Hype Williams and shot in Chicago. The music video was added to BET and MTV on the week ending on May 11, 1997.
