"Victory" is a song by Diddy (known as Puff Daddy at the time), and the song is mainly a bragging song, with mafiaso style lyrics, as was popular at the time. It features Notorious B.I.G, who raps two verses, and Busta Rhymes, who sings the song's chorus. The song also heavily sampled the Bill Conti song "Going the Distance", which featured on the soundtrack to the movie Rocky.
The music video to the song was directed by Marcus Nispel and was more or less a direct homage of the film Blade Runner. The production costs ran upwards of $2,700,000[citation needed].
