Notorious (2009)


This is the compelling story of Christopher Wallace a.k.a Notorious B.I.G. (Played by Jamal Woolard) as he rises from a good kid to street thug to famous and biggest rapper of New York. Along the way you see the trials and tribulations that he goes through from dealing with his first girlfriend's pregnancy to his mom's (Angela Bassett) troubles of being a single black woman to meeting and having a relationship with Lil Kim (Naturi Naughton) and to top it all off dealing with drama from Tupac (Anthony Mackie) being his friend at one time and being his enemy the next. You see the sacrifices he makes as well as the sacrifices his friends make to see Biggie accomplish the dream. This was a great bio pic of a man that died way before his time and the craziness that was the mid 90's in the rap game. The movie also stars Derek Luke (Lions For Lambs) as Puff Daddy, Antonique Smith as his wife Faith Evans (Across The Universe), Sean Ringgold as Suge Knight, Dennis L.A. White (The Brave One) as his best friend Damion "D-Roc" Butler and a great performance from Biggie's actual son Christopher Jordan Wallace as the young Biggie Smalls.
