the Rapsody feat. Warren G feat. Sissel - Prince Igor (1997) HD

Stumbled upon this today.  "Reality" was always one of the biggest bangers of 97' and I still bump that track.  But I never knew he was on this remix and music video.  Does anybody remember this?

maybe it was some Euro stuff he did, cause it didn't make any noise in the states... that's crazy that this was a chart topper in the Netherlands... Warren G is always saying he doesn't have any bread but if dude had that kind of following around the world he had to be making grip

Was a big hit here in Norway too.
Sissel Kyrkebö(the girl who sings the hook) is Norwegian so probably a factor.

Fun fact : she told in a interview that she learned the hook in Russian from the taxi driver who drove her to the studio before the recording.

Yeahh alotta good songs on that album

Yeah that track was massive in Europe in 1997.
That Rhapsody Overture album was quite an interesting concept

Warren G always did well in the UK Charts..."Do You See", "This DJ","Smokin Me Out" and "Prince Igor" all hit the Top 20
"Regulate" got to Number 5 and "I Shot The Sherrif" & "Whats Love Got To Do With It" both got to Number 2

I noticed other rap artists on the album.  Was this like some kind of opera meets rap album?  What were the other songs like featuring rap artists?

As the others pointed out, that single had quite a buzz all over Europe at the time...I'm still bumping that and Dear Malika occasionally.  Not a part of this compilation, but Highland with Bella Stella was quite popular too, although it probably never made it to USA
