He told me that in the summer of 1979 when he was I think 10 years old the song was a huge hit everywhere in New York and 'Rise' along with Chic's ' Good Times' were 'the songs' that all the kids were dancing and roller skating to that summer. Randy recalled, "I asked Puffy, in 1996 when he first called me concerning using 'Rise' for 'Hypnotize,' why he chose the 'Rise' groove.
Diddy (known then as Puff Daddy) produced "Hypnotize" and sampled the beat from Herb Alpert's 1979 hit " Rise" which was written by Andy Armer and Herb's nephew, Randy "Badazz" Alpert. Rolling Stone ranked the song as number 30 on their list of the "100 Greatest Hip-Hop Songs of All Time". The last song released before his death in a drive-by shooting a week later, it was the fifth song by a credited artist to hit number one posthumously, and the first since " (Just Like) Starting Over" by John Lennon and Yoko Ono in 1980.
featuring vocals by Pamela Long, released as the first single from his album Life After Death on March 4, 1997. " Hypnotize" is a single by American rapper The Notorious B.I.G.
