The Man Puff Daddy Hired To Write His Biggie Tribute "I'll Be Missing You"

[@grantvandyke7]

Genius is easily one of my favorite channels on youtube. Keep it up!

[@jjbing3]

They are moving in and have the dopest exclusives and behind the scenes.

[@OrionSound]

Writers and Ghost writers have been around loooong before Puff. Its a beautiful thing,,unless one doesn't get credited and screwed of publishing etc.

[@daniel022209]

OrionSound he did thank Sauce Money on his No Way Out album though. I used to always think that Sauce Money may have helped produce the Young G's record featuring Biggie and Jay-Z but this is a surprise right here.

[@nidla6391]

Never knew Sauce Money wrote that shit he had the best verse in Bring It On in my opinion

[@richardedge5947]

wxr- G yo heard game got a new death row chain but suge knight was hired the killer of biggie in Las angles and he used Wardell poochie fowlz a mob piru bloods gang member and then poochie got smoked

[@brianjackson3031]

Naw jay ate that

[@Condomplate]

this channel came out of no where & i love the in depth music background stories, keep up the fire work. Im hip.

[@mphorejakong4652]

true story.

[@D0GM34T]

wtf who gets a ghostwriter for a tribute song fuck kind shit is that lmao

[@acharich]

🙈

[@yungflyherogood1764]

wrath Real talk though I thought puffy or big just wrote it ! SMH 😓

[@joshuaguzman7920]

wtf who's Left Eye????👀

[@mr.outlaw2329]

Diddy wasn't no rapper, like Sauce said him & Diddy had conversations during the recording so I'm pretty sure Diddy shared a lot of stories & had an input on the lyrics

[@JoshuaJackson360]

Sauce Money has always had dope lyrical styles he's very underrated, great go to guy for features with all due respect, he complements the songs I've heard him on esp. on that reasonable doubt album.

[@yeahisaidit5633]

Dre got Royce da 59 to do his tribute song to his brother on chronic 2001!

[@GTheGenius]

Sauce Money had the best verse on Bring It On on Reasonable Doubt.

[@FidoeFTW]

G The Genius Beats literally Picasso in lyrical form

[@centraldistrict7822]

east coast hos is hostile colossal money flaring like nostrils for drug dealing apostles..

[@ChrisOkw]

lol

[@brianjackson3031]

Naw Jay ate that.

[@BrotherhoodWilliams]

everybody know Sauce was supposed to blow in like 97, 98, 99, 00...

[@KILLABEATZ123]

Not with jigga,dmx,ja rule, red and meth, 50 etc all comin out at the same time it was too much rappers from ny that was all popping at the same time for him to really shine the way he was suppose to

[@BrokenGotWingz]

Biggie will forever be my favorite rapper of all time

[@rjgthuro]

This is so in depth! Great interview.

[@KayMens3]

Happy B.I.G Day

[@johnlove8163]

happy b day big

[@Ace_etereo]

Puffy probably told him what he wanted him to say. Puffy not a rapper. It's not easy to come up with a solid sixteen without it being wack. It's a natural talent contrary to popular belief.

[@hendrixlynch5918]

Dr. Dre has never written a word of anything you've ever heard, but we are still waiting on another album. But people mad at Puff.

[@jelanistowers6504]

Isn't Dr. Dre primarily known as a producer?

[@selanryn5849]

Jay-Z wrote for him too. It’s only a problem when they try and hide it. Pop stars don’t write their songs and no one cares. Some people are writers, some are just great performers. And occasionally we’re lucky and get someone who’s both.

[@dana102083]

​@selanryn5849 agree..I also feel that way about their plastic surgery.. just own it.

[@cristiansmistad1823]

This right here was a good video.

[@cfvasconcellos]

great ivew, Sauce Money is such lyrical legend highlander status from bk, Genius your content has been sizzling this summer 2016.. thank you for all these fly hiphop deconstructions..

[@JJMza]

Great interviewer. Knows how to keep it goin'. approved.

[@RobMarkman]

+JJ, M. thank you!

[@ReallySleepii]

How you gonna get someone else to write a verse for you to rap for your best friend that passed away? that should come from the heart. Just my opinion.

[@Swampnutz10303]

Diddy only writes checks, you ain't paying attention!

[@terrencebarrett702]

I understand what your saying but Puffy probably wanted it to be very poetic at the same time.

[@Marquinoist]

When you have no heart that can be tough.

[@acharich]

🙈

[@jonathanevelyn1063]

Diddy got big killed off to own his master's cuz he knew he was leaving bad boy records to start his own label

[@cantguard26]

This page is amazing with background stories are dope and helps make music deeper

[@jamesdeleon4389]

another underrated great emcee. sauce money. ..Tx 2 Bk

[@kaygee3651]

I see a lot of you guys are bashing Puffy for not writing a tribute song to his close friend. Well what y'all are forgetting is Puffy was never a rapper, hence almost everything he spits isn't something he's written. As much as I agree that a tribute song must come from your heart to the deceased, it'd be very disrespectful to write just anything. If you listen to Sauce clearly he states that him and Puffy sat down... Puffy gave him a template to which he wrote to. I think Diddy did the write thing not to have attempted to write the lyrics himself, he's not a lyricist by any means. Let us all chill cos I'm sure Biggie would be appreciative of his friend's gesture, he literally thought Diddy how to rap so he wouldn't expect much from him.

[@lovelife9011]

Kay Gee stfu he's pathetic and a fraud that proves it !!

[@richardedge5947]

Kay Gee he was involved with suge knight body guard shooting

[@johnarobinson5640]

one of the greatest that only a few know.

[@michaels.8244]

Damn I thought Puff @ the very lease wrote that for Big.. Emotions produce ability, if a nigga angry he can 9 times out of 10 express that shit verbally effortlessly. Expressing happiness is a bit more difficult for some. Expressing sorrow easier for some.. Point is if puff would of had any love for Big he would of been able to write his own shit then had some one come in & tweak it here & there. Puff a cold dude.. But @ lease he honored Big @ the VMA's Hope Source got paid well for that record.

[@aldeb456]

Its told Puff paid Sting $3mil for the song right away why it took Sauce some time to get $100K.

[@elman7494]

Biggie is alive in the afterlife 🙏

[@anthonyanonymous6170]

Def a favorite channel of mine now I'm spreading this

[@samsungshield1297]

Damn can i get anymore disappointed in how low puffy can go as a human being?

[@seniorblanco4126]

Sauce money!

[@Iranianjew4life]

Sauce Money could spit

[@sharifk1977]

and sauce wrote it about his mom

[@nikkidoom200]

I always thought this was common Knowledge.

[@youtubed3951]

+Nick E. Doom it is/should be.

[@BrotherhoodWilliams]

almost is

[@CANNIBALISMHOUR]

+Nick E. Doom It mostly is but i'm glad we got an interview.

[@KayMens3]

Definitely wasn't for me

[@acharich]

First I'm hearing regarding this particular song..

[@keeswillems4637]

I just came to this from watching the desiigner interview and now I aprieciate robs diversity even more

[@mphorejakong4652]

what I did exactly B-)

[@pinkacademy5232]

atleast he ghostwrote a classic

[@richyman5146]

more like a song writer. A ghost writer is when you get no credit you write them in secret.

[@weatherspoonn]

loving this channel

[@thchan3314]

Puff may not write rhymes but he does write checks 😂 Classic joint.

[@mAjeStic.716]

But he don't write them checks either tho 😂

[@yeahisaidit5633]

This song should’ve had a career ending check attached to it!

[@byomaralexander7]

💥Awesome video. Thank you for sharing.💥

[@lorrainemcneal2864]

This goes to show you diddy puffy didn't love Biggie that shit should have came from the heart

[@j.t.fletcher2214]

some people can't put how they feel to words. Puff isn't a writer he's a performer but he wanted to do something in honor of his friend. I see nothing wrong in asking someone to help you express yourself. Dre did it with the message a song dedicated to his brother but Royce wrote about his friend.

[@chrisgalvin7161]

I'm subscribing too this this is what I love about hip hop

[@joemomma635]

This dude high af 😂

[@ShadariaAllison]

LONG LIVE THE KING OF HIP HOP..SAUCE MONEY..!!!!!!

[@KayMens3]

I get that Puff wanted a good song, but it's a lil corny to have a tribute to your friend written by someone else.

[@johnlove8163]

That's true

[@mesutozil9486]

no it's not. if you want a better way to express & if you don't think yours would do it justice. Why not?

[@KayMens3]

Mesut Ozil How would what he wanted to say about his bestfriend not be good enough?

[@mesutozil9486]

Kay Kay Mens im just saying thats what he may have thought

[@KILLABEATZ123]

He's not a rapper, and there was no way he would of be able to write those intricate b.a.r.s on his own puff is really just a performer not a rapper.

[@zlistcelebrityYT]

I thought the whole world knew this already. Now tell 'em how much using the sample cost. lmao

[@thecoach11]

zlistcelebrity 250k

[@DocKaosBeats]

It's kind of hard to have the same feeling when you listen to this song now

[@DocKaosBeats]

***** I thought that he at least would of wrote that because that's a song that should of came from the heart no one should of been writing it for you period but it's still a dope song nonetheless the hook/chorus and beat really make the song but Diddy is too monotone to be rapping

[@DocKaosBeats]

grandalf I was mostly talking about this song since it had to do with the death of Biggie

[@AHImusic]

12 Drake fans disliked this because they hate to see when the ghostwriter get's some shine.

[@GE0RGECREWS]

I could never go to a ghostwriter about a tribute to my best friend but we're talking about diddy here..........

[@EddieisKrueger]

Sauce Money!

[@SaurabhKumar-nt7iy]

So wait. The music is not puffy's, The lyrics are not his! How the fuck are these guys musicians?

[@mohammedyousef3390]

dont be surprised most of these "rappers" have ghostwriters

[@Stonecoldalston]

You think all singers write they songs ? But there musicians from Whitney Houston to Frank Sinatra Elvis etc

[@mrmidwest614]

Word...

[@LuckyLefty92]

Who didn't know Sauce Money wrote that?

[@carboy101]

Me. I always thought Jay write it.

[@QueXopa79]

Woooooow didn’t know that

[@anthonyanonymous6170]

This is dope

[@bookmzz9845]

"Before my album dropped, copped a Grammy". Sauce Money - "Pre game"

[@bookmzz9845]

@@balle733 that's still a win for Sauce though. If you wrote it, you'd say the same thing he said lol

[@romec5]

AU!!!!

[@769Borrero]

he from Marcy pj's big ups yo

[@769Borrero]

from my hood

[@hendrixlynch5918]

It's not a ghost written song if he's listed as a writer.

[@lowkey2299]

Dope!

[@769Borrero]

jayz did the only cameo in his video. ya'll look for it

[@user-fu7zf4ck9z]

get it: diddy is not a song rapper... would you have prefered a version with wack bars and 0 flow for a tribute song? puffy did an amazing beat and he told sauce what to write, its like puff told the story and sauce wrote it down as a rap... whats so bad about it, its much better than if puffy would have had to try to write a song and turned out to be bad

[@wisdomwarrior2645]

Look at puff on stage dancing like a clown knowing damn well that he was the cause of biggies murder! 💯

[@kinghannibal7709]

FLUFF DADDY...and NURSE DRE...used ghost writers...DRE used NAS JAY-Z DAZ CUBE RAGE...etc. DRAKE blatantly stole PHONTE's style and cadence(even admits it in early songs).

[@barringtonmorris90]

Not his words, not his heart.

[@Stonecoldalston]

He thoughts tho obviously he had to sit down & explain his vision for the song

[@Nigellus94]

Gene Deal already talked about this.

[@thagreatfrank3071]

Very interesting!!

[@Ace_etereo]

And I can't believe where almost in the late 2010s

[@headon434]

late 2010s lmao

[@-9G-]

Sauce money ! I thought he was gonna explode

[@harvident5703]

puff a producer he dont have to write...he never claimed to be a lyricist

[@DjSegwon]

dam yall late as hell, this is the reason why sales of music is important, you knew who the writers,producers, arrangers, musicians, labels,engineers, mixers, all off the credit list! smdh

[@skid126]

they clearly wrote it together... not just him lmao

[@Beysachi]

I know this kind of irrelevant, but no one gonna flame this niggah ear. That shit is just, something else. I don't even know. 😅

[@jonesjonz1]

is sauce and bleek related?

[@TheRealMisterChopShop]

Sauce money genius

[@ElenxMusicx]

Woahh his mama looks like Opra... tell this guy she's not dead man,wtf

[@tipp8437]

Diddy couldn't write what he felt at the time because It would be very informative.🤔🕵🏿‍♀️🕵🏿‍♀️🕵🏿‍♀️

[@charlesmccants1830]

Talk about a good plug walk you in to a biggie tribute non chalant didn’t even tell him on the way that’s real jay

[@gonjasensai2]

Sauce

[@GabzitoHD]

lol so he stole the music and melody break from The Police and someone else wrote the lyrics aswell? lmao

[@KaizerMan]

He's a businessman not an artist fam.

[@cardcollectorc2]

He didn’t steal it fam sting collabed together to create the project

[@flyking6622]

Who's the Ghost Writer for 2Pac's Dear Mama?
