Today I took my friend Michelle's advice (her blog) and took advantage of the $5 movie special at the Fork & Spoon (Formally Buckhead Backlot). I didn't even look at the other movies that were playing, I was there for only 1 reason and that was to see the adaptation of the Greatest Rapper of All-Time..The Notorious B.I.G.
The movie in my opinion was very well researched and this is coming from a Hip-Hop head who followed the rise of Biggie Smalls as a young kid. Notorious showed a young Christopher Wallace struggling between the 2 worlds of drug dealing and rapping while being pursued by an ambitious Uptown intern Sean "Diddy" Combs (played by Derick Luke).
Here are some of the Highs and Lows of the Move..
Highs:
-Lil Kim and B.I.G (How they Met)
-Angella Basset as Voletta Wallace
-Tupac and Bigs friendship
-The actress who played Faith (You will understand after you watch..LoL)
-Derrick Luke as Diddy (He definitely went to Diddy's dance school)
-Lil Cease who was played by the actor from Losing Isaiah (He was hilarious)
Lows:
-Lil Kim (She kinda got the played in the movie)
-Death of B.I.G
-East Coast-vs-West Coast Beef
Overall this was an excellent movie that portrayed a legend that I grew up listening too at a young age. Even though it was years overdue it was right on time, hopefully people will be able to take away the positive messages that were on display throughout the story. The rise of a man who chased a dream and in the process helped launch a billion dollar industry.
