‘Bad Boy’s Been Around The World’ Puff Daddy, Mase, Carl Thomas (1998)
“Bad Boy’s Been Around the World (Remix)” is the remix version of Puff Daddy’s hit single, released in early 1998 as part of the Been Around the World single promotions from his debut album No Way Out. Featuring Mase and Carl Thomas (replacing the original’s Notorious B.I.G.), the track retains the same production by Puff Daddy, Stevie J, and The Hitmen, sampling David Bowie’s “Let’s Dance” and Lisa Stansfield’s “All Around the World.” This version shifts to a smoother R&B-leaning vibe with Thomas’ soulful chorus and Mase’s signature flow, amplifying the luxurious, global party anthem feel central to Bad Boy’s shiny suit era.
The remix maintained massive commercial momentum, benefiting from the original’s chart run and achieving Platinum status alongside it. The official music video showcases globe-trotting Bad Boy flair with high-production travel footage and cameos, solidifying its status as a 90s club staple....
