It's so sad that people don't know the legends in this video. Vocals by Faith Evans and Mary J Blige. Cameos by the late Heavy D from Heavy D and the Boyz. Aaliyah. Total. Tyson Beckford. Zhané. Da Brat. Craig Mack. Changing Faces...
Yup! This is why I don’t like too much current/new music. I was a teen when this song came out, love it! And like some others have said, the person singing background is Faith Evans. She was married to Biggie at the time. Oh and Ashanti samples this in her song “Foolish.”
Both Faith Evans and Mary J Blige provide the actual vocals. The other female stars such as Patra, Aaliyah, Changing Faces etc. are lip syncing for the video.
Biggie does make it seem easy, like he’s telling someone a story. RIP Big, he was my favorite rapper as a teen in the 90s. Such bangers and I’m sure would’ve had many more if he got the chance!
Biggie was awesome. I was a huge fan of his. I miss him and his music. Please listen to everything he did. You will love him too. The 90s were amazing for music. Faith Evans is the beautiful voice you were looking for. Love ya Jay. Thanks.
I was a teen on the west coast in the 90s, so it was Pac & NWA, but I was listening to big poppa on the low....now we all just get to love it all that the west vs east beef is squashed 🖤
That’s Faith Evans in the background. She’s my favorite R and B singer and she’s one of the greatest. Her song “Soon As I Get Home” you should review. I just reread her autobiography, it was so good.❤️
Faith Evans is singing on this song but the video also showcased all the female vocalist that ruled at that time like, Mary J Blige, Miss Jones, Changing Faces, Aaliyah, Zhane, Patra.
Hey Jay did u know that Biggie was Jamaican? Oh Yea, the person that is singing background is his wife Singer FAITH EVANS & MARY J! and then at 3:08 you said who is the girl in the video > ARE U SERIOUS? > That's MARY J BLIGE!
Faith Evans is in the background vocals, his wife at the time....Biggie has so much ebb and flow those lyrics just roll off the tongue!!! 🙌 R.I.P.🕊 So talented! The sample is from Grover Washington, Jr.'s song - 'Hydra'.
HE WAS A GEMINI, RULED BY MERCURY. VIRGO IS ALSO RULED BY MERCURY, THE PLANET OF COMMUNICATION, BUT, GEMINI’s ARE REALLY INFLUENCED BY THIS PLANET, ONE WAY ORE ANOTHER..
Very reminiscent to me. I grew up in the Bronx, birth place of hip hop. Great documentary, about him. Interviewed his mom and friends. Larger than life, in all ways.
Fun fact: Notorious B.I.G was actually a sex symbol in the 90s I’m not lying because of his smooth his style voice and 6 ft and even though he’s huge he’s a beast lol 😂 yea Biggie was that dude R.I.P.
I'm glad you are more hip hop.... I would like for you to do KRS ONE. His song You Must learn, Love's gonna get cha, My Philosophy and Stop the violence
One of my ultimate faves. This video came on tv back in the 90's and I heard amazing vocals, thinking WHOTF IS THAT!!! And why is Mary J Blige not singing the lead?? Whoever this chick is MUST BE IMPORTANT...it was the first time I heard of Faith Evans. This is also THE ONLY video with both Mary and Faith in it. Mary was a feature on Faiths debut album, and had her manager take her vocals of Faiths album. Mary was a hater.
Ok I love your guy's reactions and I used to drop comments every day requesting like a specific 3 or 4 songs.....still haven't gotten to it yet so this isn't a request this time, this is me begging for one song from you guys....please please choose between these 2 videos if you really like Heart or Pink Floyd.....Mona Lisa's and Mad Hatters by Heart alive in seattle, or, maybe one of the best performances of all time, Pink Floyd finally reuniting Live from Live 8 2005 doing Comfortably Numb. PLEASE PLEASE

In the 90s, it was a song performed by Notorious BIG, produced by Puff Daddy, part of Bad Boys' production on Ashantperformance entitled Unfoolish, produced by murder ink in the 2000s.
Yo check it out I was 18 years old 19 years old 20 years old when biggie was at the top. He's my favorite ever. I was also at the top of my game that's when I earned the nickname GIGOLO...... I'm having a lot of memories right now but you will never die in my eyes if you got any problems you tell them the gigolo sent you
Puff was known as the remix king.The original song is by Debarge called Stay with me came out in early 80s. Mary j Blige is singing the hook. Faith Evans too
The singer in the background is BIGs ex- wife Faith Evans this is the remix the original version is on BIG's Ready To Day album this version is the better version.
Now you understand why we prefer old school. Old school is much better on sooooo many levels.
He got to react to Changing faces-stroke you up 😂

Faith evans his ex wife is singing in the background
The video had cameos from some of biggest singers and rappers of the 90's,, including Mary J Blige, Aaliyah, Total, Heavy D and many others.
The beat (and a few lyrics) are sampled from 'Stay With Me' by DeBarge. The song that samples this that you're thinking about is 'Foolish' by Ashanti.
His wife is singing: Faith Evans. She has some amazing music too- “Soon as I get home” “Gets No love” “can’t believe”…oh and Mary J!
Aaliyah and Patra singing backup also
