I must say that honesty is always the best policy, and this movie is no exception. The movie was Okay, very vague, and honestly never really dug deep to show who Biggie really was. So either the director was scared of criticism, or there just wasn't anything really interesting about the man. The acting was Okay, honestly it was better than expected. Overall I'll give it a 5/10 for effort. First of all I will start by saying that Biggie was truly talented and gifted, and he was a central Hip-Hop figure in the mid-1990's. But that is all, people! He wasn't Dr. King for God's sakes!!!! Let's be honest I enjoyed and still enjoy his music, but let's stop kidding ourselves. 2 1/2 albums qualifies no one to be "the greatest rapper of all time", please cut it out & use your brains!!! Biggie had a long way to go before he could ever hold that title. Hell, NWA revolutionized the realness of Rap. They were the first to really talk about Hood life and Hood things. And Biggie is just one of many talented people who followed in their foot steps. Sadly he never talked about much else, he was never reflective, or adamant about other issues. He talked about himself, partying, women, drugs, and money (How Original). We have to stop Kidding ourselves. I won't now compare him to 2pac because there is no comparison. Pac wasn't commercial like Biggie was, but that didn't matter because, when he rapped about himself he blew you away. no one tells the truth as honestly & vulnerably as Pac. Furthmore, he didn't hold anything back. He also cared about bettering the Hood, and used his music to be inspirational as well as informative. Yes he loved the T.H.U.G. life, (which he defined as "coming from nothing and turning it into something") but he was also very politically and socially aware. He was very dynamic and cared about spreading his philosophy, and over the last 14 1/2 years and 6-7 after death albums its evident that his music and message were the most important things to him. C'mon people, it's time to end the fake "controversy" and leave two talented men to rest!!

I watched this movie with great expectation. Besides the hype surrounding it, for someone who embraced hip hop for many years being influenced by the like of Biggie Smalls, Nas & Tupac to mention a few, it only made sense for me to want to watch this movie. From the beginning i could not seem to get over the way in which B.I.G was portrayed as this smart, lovable young boy because it made me look at him in a whole different light that i initially thought. I feel his son played the part well (though he did not have much to do). The story line is pretty straight forward and there are a few surprises concerning the emotions the characters invoke in you and make you understand them more deeply. The acting was not bad, i actually like the guy who acted as Biggie, he made the character quite interesting and lovable. The rest of the cast were not too bad either: Puffy, Faith Evans and the guy who played Biggie's manager were good too (don't expect any Oscar winners though!) From a neutral point of view (without being a Notorious B.I.G or Tupac fan) i really felt that they tried to explain the beef between the artists with a more lenient view of Biggie. When watching the movie i couldn't help but think how much Biggie was the 'bigger man' in the beef and that Tupac simply caught a fit at the wrong people. Then i had to ask myself a few questions about that. The movie makes you want to take Biggie's side on the whole issue. I don't know if this is true but i felt that it was rather unfair no matter how much of a nice guy Biggie was. In watching this movie its hard to see it any other way than that the beef was Tupac's fault. It's up to you to believe it or not. All in all it was a good effort, nothing too memorable but a story worth knowing especially if you want to know more about some of the most critical times in Hip Hop. Biggie fans will undoubtedly love this.
