5.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful Re-make, March 25, 2002

When I first heard the beginning of this song, I thought-wow...this one sounds familiar but I couldn't put my mind to what it was. And after listening further into the song I realized it was a re-make of Sting (The Police)'s "I'll Be Watching You" but with a different spin off lyric wise. As you probably already know, this single was produced in rememberence of the rapper Notorious BIG who passed away around 1997 when the single was released. It features Faith Evans who is the widow of Notorious BIG. In addition it also features the group 112 who sings at the end. All these people from the famed Bad Boy Family create a stunning song! I know some people bashed Puffy about "copying" a song but obviously I'm not the only one who likes it as the average customer review is 5 Stars. It made me think of my aunt who passed away not to long before this single was released and it had a lot of meaning for me. I hope they sometime release the performance of this single (Along with Sting) at the 1997 MTV Video Music Awards, which was just...incredible. Definatly Reccomended to anyone who has heard it, enjoyed the Sting version or has lost an Important person in their life.

Though produced in remembrance of the Notrious B.I.G., this is a CD sound track that could be tributed to/by anyone. It's a cd that is both bitter and sweet... which is why I love it and listen to it often in memory of my lost loved one.

This was an album by Puff when he was good not P.Diddy he has
had 1-2 Tight songs since he switched his name his latest one
with Mario Winans and Enya that samples Ready or Not by Fugees
This is the type of rapping he is good at great tribute album.
