soo..like the rest of the world, i went to go see the highly anticipated movie Notorious. I have been anticipating this movie myself actually, becuz i am soo into music and the industry, especially hip hop..and for Big's life story to be told on the big screen..it was definitely exciting.
On March 9, 1997..the day of Big's death..i was only 7 years old and from the west coast but i felt how much of an impact he had on the music industry and in the hood. Seeing this movie 12 yrs later brought back the same feeling i had then. Im not the "cry over a movie" type, but if I was, i would have shed a few tears just becuz of the overwhelming impact that he had on his hood and the industry and also becuz he was taken away just when he was starting to overcome his lifes obstacles and becoming the person he had always wanted to be personally and to the world.
Jamal "Gravy" Woolard played Christopher Wallace very well..along with Angela Basset [Voletta Wallace], a resembling Antonique Smith [Faith Evans], && Naturi Naughton, formerly of the girl group 3LW, as the ever so scandalous sex kitten Lil Kim! eventho i didnt quite agree with the character nor the actor chosen to portray the late, great Tupac Shakur...he got the story across nonetheless.
I could actually go ALL day blogging about this movie lol..it was great and i will be goin to see it again with some friends who havent seen it yet...plus i have to view it a 2nd time for more understanding. So if you have NOT seen the movie, please go and do urself the favor and go see what the hip hop community has lost to senseless violence and go be motivated...cuz like Big & Puff use to say "we can't change the W0RLD, unless we change 0URSELVES!"
