notorious b.i.g.

ok so yesterday night (thursday) me and sean haggarty went and watched notorious at the cinema's...

i was very impressed at the movies quality and it raised the bar for movies about actual people some what!

i would definitely recommend anyone to go see this movie

biggie smalls was just another nigga from brooklyn.

having all the big rappign names like tupac, snoop dogg and dre in the west. there was need to fill the position of representing rapper in the east! the man tht everyone loves and who all the young crew love, and listen to on the radio etc

biggie was raised by his mum in a tough neighbourhood, which meant tht if you werent part of the in crowd, you were dead, or close to it.

he got into dealing drugs at about the age of 11 or 12, and quickly progressed as a dealer till the age of 17 or a8 when he was busted for a big load of drugs and cash and firearms, he went to jail for nearly a year i believe. it didnt really say. but it was about tht maybe 2 years...

he always loved rapping about life as a younger kid, so it was only natural tht he turned to rapping when he was sent to jail, having nothing better to occupy his mind...

he got out and immediately reformed old aquiantances. then started rapping for serious, local gigs etc, but things werent going his way. life was tough. he got a chick pregnant, and then started rooting some other bitch on th side. which became complicated later on in his career.

he wasnt making much money from the rapping, even tho he was damn good, he had all the street cred, but no record deal. he then turned back to drugs and him and a mate got busted for carrying a firearm, his friend took the fall tho, cause he told biggie "yo dawg, once you make it in the rap industry we all made it, so ima take this for ya, ill be out in three years, whereas if u take it, your looking at 5, i got you man, just do your thing". it went something like tht anyway.

so his friend took the time for biggie to realise his dream, he put out his first album a couple of months later, life was going according to plan. parties. girls. and a girl named faye!

he married faye and they had a little kid together. therefore biggie broke up with his first bitch, and the second bitch was all up in his face about it, cause she was also working on her singing career, which biggie got her.

gigs everyweek, money rolling in. everything was looking good, until tupac got held up in the studio and robbed and shot, he didnt know who to trust and therefore a fight between east and west broke out.

obvioulsy biggie didnt set him up, but tupac didnt believe it and thhey turned from friends to enemies in a night.
after soul searchign and letting the heat around him and tupac cool down, biggie created a second album and was touring the country prommoting it. this took them into tupacs territorys.

but a week before they made their prommotion tour tupac was shot and killed.
therfore biggie entering his turf to promote his new album infuriated all the west coast nigga's against him. and while out on the town, driving from a club to the hotel they were staying at, some-one did a drive by and shot the notorious b.i.g.

he died at 24 years of age.

there are alot of kool scenes up in this movie, and young 50 cent is featured a lot throughout th film. which gives the audience an idea of when his life began and who his mentors were.

notorious rated: 3.5/5

"damn nigga this shit is tight!"
