Method Man and Mary J. Blige famously teamed up for the 1995 single and video “I’ll Be There for You/You’re All I Need to Get By.” The song served as a remix for the Wu-Tang Clan rapper’s “All I Need,” which appeared on his 1994 solo debut Tical.
With Mary J. Blige on the hook and RZA behind the production board, the track seamlessly wove Marvin Gaye & Tammi Terrell’s 1968 hit “You’re All I Need to Get By” into the track, making it the almost like the 1990s Hip Hop version of the classic song.
Nearly 30 years later, Method Man and Mary J. Blige co-star in Power Book II: Ghost, a spinoff of 50 Cent’s wildly popular Power series. On Saturday (February 26), the 53rd NAACP Image Awards were presented to a slew of artists and entertainers.
