Notorious Review

Seen "Notorious," yesterday and the thing i liked the most about the movie was that it showed Biggie fairly.

Growing up in a single parent household he would sell drugs to have money for the latest clothes,sneakers, and jewelry in highschool and was arrested while his girlfriend was pregnant.

Biggie made a decision to leave the streets alone to pursue his rap career, aligning with Puffy and Bad Boy records. And as his career prospered, his relationships with woman would become more complicated. He left his baby's mother, he messed around with his artist Lil Kim of Junior Mafia, and married Faith Evans and had plenty of groupies on the side.

That's what made the movie good, the honesty. It showed biggie in a real light. How his relationship with Tupac went bad after Tupac was shot in Quad studios in NYC and he never knew who actually did it, and accused Biggie and Bad boy to having something to do with it.

When Tupac got out of Jail he signed with Death Row, and the east coast -west coast rivalry began, fueled by magazines and media campaign against hip hop.

And the end, biggie was killed in Los Angeles, a couple days before his second album Life After Death came out, but the movie was not about his death, it was about his life and how he was an example to many youth in the inner city on just how quickly a dream could come true and just as easily be taken away.
