On this maudlin ''tribute'' to the Notorious B.I.G., the late rapper's former mentor (Puff Daddy) and wife (Faith Evans) team up to say their farewells to the big man on a song that ''samples'' (regurgitates is more like it) the Police's ''Every Breath You Take.'' With lyrics like ''Know you're in heaven, smiling down/Watching us as we pray for you,'' ''I'll Be Missing You'' gives the lie to those who claim hip-hoppers are above self-serving sentimentality.
