I'm trying to be open minded - so explain why it seems Notorious BIG's movie....

[HEyHEY]

Tries to make him out to be some great leader instead of a drug dealin', womanizing prick?

Seen the ads? "We can change the world, Biggie!" SOme guy says in one scene... yeah? And how's that? Increase organized crime and sales of clothes that don't fit?

Self important fucks.

1. BIG has a movie?

[HEyHEY]

2. Yup

[supernova]

3. What's even funnier

is the background song on the trailer is Duran Duran's No No No Notorius!

Ugh.

For the people who knew him, I'm sorry for their loss, but that he's made out to be some kind of hero is baffling to me.

4. Have you seen the movie?

Probably not. Neither have I. Maybe we could withhold judgment until we do? There's only so much you can get from a promo.

5. I guess you have a point...

after all, the film could be a realistic piece about how Biggie and his ilk were basically violent, money-obsessed thugs who capitalized on the burgeoning hardcore rap market to expand their criminal enterprises beyond the traditional territories of drug and firearm trafficking.

...but I ain't holdin' my breath.

8. ease up, they were trying to change the world

6. Ding Ding Ding Ding

9. Because he was

It's not like it's a movie about that no-talent hack, Tupac.

[HEyHEY]
