Plot Summary: "Notorious" is about the life of rapper Christopher Wallace a.k.a. The Notorious B.I.G. In just a few short years, The Notorious B.I.G. rose from the streets of Brooklyn to become one of the most influential hip hop artists of all time. B.I.G. was a gifted storyteller; his narratives about violent life on the streets were told with a gritty, objective realism that won him enormous respect and credibility. His stories were universal and gave a voice to his generation.

The film stars multiple award winner Angela Bassett as Christopher's mother Voletta Wallace, Derek Luke as Sean Combs, Anthony Mackie as Tupac Shakur and introducing Jamal Woolard as The Notorious B.I.G.

I Think Naturi Naughton is doing a great job as Lil Kim,its very easy for people to criticize her without even seeing the final result. I've actually experienced seeing Naturi take on lil kim and it was amazing to watch she had her from the voice to the body and moves.... Trust me you are going to love her, Don't think she isn't talented because it is her first movie every major movie star has had to do a first movie, anyway don't hate wait until you watch the movie

I think diddy and his crew will make this a movie to remember. Besides who knows the life better then anyone then the family. And yet, he's an artist and Im sure he will put everything into it to make it real and entertaining!.....ROE lay off the run on sentences!... or go back to school

Yes Notorious B.I.G is an awesome artist- but personally believe they need to quit making movies based on celeberties- plus the only way this movie will be good is if they tell the truth- that his so called "best friend" is the one that actually set him up- tragic- but ppl like puffy are just out for themselves- RIP mr wallace

I don't think film is necessary and I'm a big fan of 'Pac and B.I.G. We already know what went on in they life cause we was there when it was goin on and they told us in they songs.

It's not gonna be nothin but what the outsiders saw. Nobody saw what went on when they we're by themselves and they aint here to tell us.

A Doc would be better, I'd like it better than a bunch of puzzle pieces put together with a bunch missing.
