Notorious

This is a movie about the life of a rap star Notorious B.I.G. I am not a big fan but I do like some of his music. I don't know how accurate the facts are, but the movie itself is well directed and the actors play the characters very well.

If you like rap music, then I think you will get insight to this rapper's background, motivation, and inspiration. If you don't like rap music, you probably won't appreciate this film.

Personally, I would recommend watching it if you want a better understanding from the perspective of Notorious B.I.G or Biggie Smalls.





Netflix Summary:

Based on the story of Christopher Wallace -- better known as gangsta rapper Notorious B.I.G. (played by Jamal Woolard) -- this insightful biopic chronicles his troubled life as a drug dealer, his artistic success and his unresolved murder at age 24. The film also delves into his close friendship with Sean Combs (Derek Luke) and the famous feud with hip-hop rival Tupac Shakur (Anthony Mackie). Angela Bassett portrays Biggie's mother.
