R Kelly raconte:

One time we were on tour together and we were staying at the same hotel in Detroit. It was late and the after-party was over. The hotel-lobby party was over. The hotel-room party was over. There were still people hanging out in the lobby. And I was back in the lobby where they had this piano. I had just recalled that childhood dream with the cartoon characters chasing me. I remember the melody from that dream and was trying to figure out the rest of the lyrics, working on what would become "I Believe I Can Believe Fly." Biggie and his crew came in the lobby about four in the morning.

R Kelly et Biggie étaient dans le même hôtel à Detroit. Après une soirée, R Kelly était dans le lobby où il y avait un piano et en se remémorant certains choses personnelles, a commencé à imaginer les paroles de ce qui sera I Believe I Can Believe Fly.

Vers quatre heures du matin, Robert vit débarquer Notorious BIG et sa bande, Biggie lui demanda:

What's up, baby! Great show, baby! What you doing?

Alors, quoi de neuf, grosse soirée mec, qu'est que tu fiches ici ?

Robert raconte:

He came over to the piano, and I started to play it for him: "I believe I can fly, I believe I can touch the sky . . ." but so far that's all I had.

Biggie se pencha sur le piano où était R Kelly qui commença alors à chanter I believe I can fly, I believe I can touch the sky . . ..

Le rappeur lui dit alors:

I'm gonna tell you right now, B, that's a smash. That's a big hit right there. That's a Grammy winner, Rob.

C'est un tube en puissance mec, un smash hit, un titre pour gagner un Grammy Award.

Robert de continuer:

When I was playing it for him, I was thinking – he's a hardcore rapper; this is gonna be too soft for him – but when I got through and looked up, his face was wet with tears.

Pendant qu'il chantait devant lui, R Kelly pensait que Biggie trouverait cela trop mellow, trop sirupeux pour le rappeur qu'il était et pourtant, devant lui, Biggie pleurait.

Puis BIG lui dit:

My brother, they gonna be playing that when you and I have moved on to the other side of time.

Ce qui scia sur place le chanteur de Chicago qui ajoute:

I was blown completely away because here was one of the greatest in rap, recognizing a song that was about humanity, about uplifting people and feeling the power of the song that took me beyond Biggie the rapper or Biggie the writer. That connected me with Biggie the man. Biggie was the first person to hear me sing "I Believe I Can Fly." That was a great moment.

Biggie fût donc la première personne à entendre I Believe I Can Fly et à s'émouvoir en l'entendant.
