      Excerpts of lines

      The fast-paced movie, BIG has been laughed at for his appearance since he was a child, and single mothers pull it up with one hand, but he was in Brooklyn at that time and inevitably mixed on the streets. (jail)

      When I was 17 years old, I was no longer a good boy, and I was able to make a lot of money.

      When a son starts paying attention to another woman, when a son starts paying attention to another woman.

      biggie is still awesome

      It’s a lot worse than 8 miles. The director’s problem. Looking at 8 miles, even if you don’t know much about RAP and HipHop, you can see a little bit of taste. You can’t watch this film. I don’t know the names of Biggie, Pac and HipHop in the 90s. Those who fight secretly will be in the cloud. The story has a rib to the end, no waves, no twists, no climax, and the cause of the contradiction between the east and the west is not thoroughly explained. From the perspective of the producer, the puff...

      miss biggie

      It was the most chaotic period in the history of rap. I was a little disappointed when I was young, unable to participate in the struggle between East Coast and West Coast rap, but I would definitely be a sure supporter of the East Coast. . . Two such great people, 2pac and big, no one knows what happened between them, maybe more complicated than the one in the movie, but they believe in the innocence of biggie. In any case, they are gone. The current rap circle can no longer replicate their...

      Behind the scenes of "Gangster Rap Legend"

      I just watched this movie, and share with you some interesting details about this movie.

      1. The star of Biggie is also a Rapper, and it was only revealed in a song by Tupac. He was shot in the hip near a radio show and was banned by the radio for this reason.

      2. Fat rap Beanie Sigel also interviewed for this role, but was not selected. Haha

      3. The little black guy who often goes with Biggie in the film is Lil Cease, his Cousin is also a rapper. The little black boy...

      It's not as powerful as 8 miles~~ The key is that the fat man is too fat... It's a pity that there are so many hot girls. ....

      It tells the life story of hip-hop landmark Biggie Smalls. Basically it's worth spending two hours to watch. This film is especially suitable for those interested in hip-hop culture. By the way, the scene of making love in the movie is the...

      "If you walk up one day, then we will all walk up." At first I thought it was a movie and then I found out that the biography of Notorious BIG is very powerful and invincible. Who framed him... I don't understand why the black people themselves Call yourself nigger...

In order to keep him away from the street life that black children would normally live on, he did not expect that The Notorious BIG would still engage in drug dealing activities without telling his mother. The first change in life came from the fact...

    Evaluation action

    Compared to " 8 Mile ", " Untitled 50 Cent Project " and other rap-themed movies, "Notorious" has a more mesmerizing atmosphere. Between Notorious BIG’s "inner stage" self-report and the exciting scenes of singing, behind his splendid and short career is the helplessness and insignificance of a poor boy from the bottom of society in the torrent of fate. And Huacai's efforts are just like the dream he said in the voice-over-just want to...
