Read What Newsweek Has to Say About NOTORIOUS!

Newsweek's Allison Samuels writes about the new biopic in "When Bling Was Still King," from the January 12th issue. Read some of the highlights from the review below. You can read the article in its entirety at Newsweek.com.

"NOTORIOUS... managed to stun, unsettle and move me. It's been 11 years since the still-unsolved murder of the hip-hop icon, and the film does a wonderful job of revisiting that dangerous yet creatively rich time in music history. For a hip-hop fiend like me, it's a bittersweet journey to the days when the Cristal was overflowing, the bling was blinding and the performers burned brightly — but briefly."

"Watching the actors lip-sync to 'Big Poppa' and 'Juicy' onstage made me still want to bust a move some 10 years later."

"Seeing Wallace's anguish as Shakur casts him as the bad guy finally gives his fans some insight into the internal turmoil he suffered toward the end of his life."

Watching "Notorious'' was like attending a 10-year high-school reunion and reliving the good old days when the future seemed so bright.

NOTORIOUS highlights a time when hip-hop was arguably at the top of the pop-culture food chain and, not coincidentally, demonstrates why that moment passed with the passing of Wallace and Shakur."
