The original 'Rise' record climbed the chart all summer and became #1 around the end of October Biggie's version was released and charted its first week at #2 and went to #1 the second week." Īs for the chorus, or "hook", the melody and phrasing is interpolated from a lyrical section of Slick Rick's song, " La Di Da Di" and it is also from these lyrics that the title "Hypnotize" is derived. I was sent a cassette from Puffy and when I cranked it up I not only immediately loved it but my gut thought that this could be a #1 record once again. Randy "Badazz" Alpert continued, "Over the years I was approached by Ice Cube, Eazy-E, Vanilla Ice, and maybe another 4-5 artists to use the song and I never said 'yes' until I heard a rough version of Biggie's recording. When he first played the loop for Biggie, (he said that) Biggie smiled and hugged him." He had always remembered that summer and that song. 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 "Hyponotize" and sampled the beat from Herb Alpert's 1979 hit " Rise" which was written by Andy Armer and Herb's nephew, Randy "Badazz" Alpert. The video features Kim, Kourtney, Khloe and the rest of the Kardashian family. The song was also featured in the Kardashian vacation music video filmed in the Dominican Republic. It is considered the film's theme song, as it is played three times throughout the film, the DVD's main menu, and it was used in most of the film's advertisements. The song is also featured in B.I.G.'s biopic Notorious. The song is featured in the film 10 Things I Hate About You in a scene where an intoxicated Kat Stratford (played by Julia Stiles) dances on a table at a party. Other references include popular fashion lines Versace, DKNY, Moschino and Coogi. The song features many pop culture references to television and film including Star Wars, Roots, Starsky and Hutch, King of New York, Richie Rich and the pop hit " Da Doo Ron Ron" by The Crystals. The chorus of "Hypnotize", sung by Total, contains an interpolation of " La Di Da Di" by Doug E. The rhythm track of "Hypnotize" is the rhythm track of " Rise", a Herb Alpert instrumental, written by Andy Armer and Randy Badazz Alpert, that was a number-one hit in the U.S.
The single reached #1 in the UK, making this his fifteen top 10 hit in that country. It was nominated for Best Rap Solo Performance at the 1998 Grammy Awards. It also gave back-to-back number-one hits to Sean Combs' Bad Boy Records label. the first artist in Hot 100 history to have a posthumous chart-topper ( see List of Hot 100 (U.S.) chart achievements and trivia).
While "Hypnotize" stayed number one two weeks later, it made The Notorious B.I.G. Once the single was issued, "Hypnotize" entered the Billboard Hot 100 at number one, right behind labelmate and co-writer/co-producer Sean "Puff Daddy" Combs (" Can't Nobody Hold Me Down").
