NOTORIOUS Video Diary #1: Cast & Crew
Producer Wayne Barrow introduces the cast and crew of NOTORIOUS! Check out Wayne's blog at www.notoriousblog.net where you can find out all the latest news from the set.
I am so glad that there will be other people that will get a look at the true BIG and maybe get a better understanding of the man himself. I believe that 'Notorious' is going to do that. If a PAC film comes out about his life we should support that as well. PAC's life was a rough life but an amazing one as well. There is definitely a story that needs to be and eventually will be told.
i got to meet the actor jamal who is playing biggie mad cool peoples the movie is going to be a hit godbless all the actors playing in the movie you guys are doing a great job.AL One
everyone has their right to voice their opinion
but i believe if you do let it be constructive criticism
the director of the film picked who he wanted and he obviously had/has his reasons
you may not understand them. leave it be
the movie has basically already been made and will be out in JAN.
IF YOU REALLY ARE A BIGGIE FAN OR TUPAC FAN..BOTH WHATEVER..!
it shouldnt matter WHo they got to play the roles, being a real fan is just knowing you're favourite artist role model or whatever is being remembered. if you wanna get technical believe the movie is made for a super fan like YOU:) and go see it. and all this cussin and stuff..really? i'm pretty sure you were taugh better than that.cursing desnt make your opinion any more important
anddd i dont hink mine is either..as i said everyone has their own views but there are right ways to express em.
grow up. move on.WATCH THE FILM
r.i.p Pac&BIG
LET IT REST!!!!!!!!!!!
The same type of beef that was dividing BIG and PAC in life is still dividing us today. Those two brothers gave the ultimate sacrafice for those beefs and it ended up being their lives. Of course East coast is going with BIG and West with Pac. The legacy that we remember about these two are their music. Both of them came from the streets, both of them were tight lyricist in their own right. BIG and PAC could tell stories that made you think, dance, reminise, or just be proud of the talent that was spitting out of their mouths.
I am a Brooklynmite to heart. I remember going on Fulton Street to get smoke and Dutches and seeing BIG on the block doing his thing. I'm pretty sure some people had some unpleasant running ins with him but I never got any bad vibes from him. BIG was like a big old teddy bear. Of course you are in the streets so you have to do what you have to do to survive. I remember stand on Franklin Ave and listening to 'Ready to Die' before it even hit the stores. Think back to the day of BIG's funeral. do you all remember the way that the streets was lined up and people were all up on poles trying to pay their respect to Brooklyn's son. Mrs. Wallace gave birth to him and thank God for her but BIG became Brooklyn's son. And please let's not talk about when someone put on the Hypnotized track. It was over. You do not get that reaction from people if there isn't something that you have touched within them.
As for the Pac shooting at the studio, everybody that be talking do not really know what happened that night. The truth be told PAC did not even really know what happened. Controversy will continue to follow that shooting. But we were not there so who are we to judge. I had love for PAC as well so don't get it twisted but the media was sitting there hyping that up just like if you was suppose to fight at three o'clock after school and all the kids have gathered around yet the friends of your opponent is steady throwing salt in the game to make him or her even more upset then they originally was. And guess what? We fell right into it. The media hyped it and we as a society kept it going up until we were watching on T.V. that our two most dominate lyricist were shot up and in somebodies hospital never to walk out of those facilities again. History, Legendary, but Sad.
I am so glad that there will be other people that will get a look at the true BIG and maybe get a better understanding of the man himself. I believe that 'Notorious' is going to do that. If a PAC film comes out about his life we should support that as well. PAC's life was a rough life but an amazing one as well. There is definitely a story that needs to be and eventually will be told.
Stop dissing each other on these blogs. What is coming from it? Nothing. These two fellas were geniuses in their own right. Accept that and move on. Do not honor their legacies by being disrespectful to one another. I do not believe that would be an honor to either one of them DO YOU?
BEEF???? LET IT REST ALREADY...... R.I.P BIG AND PAC. THANKS FOR BEING APART OF OUR LIVES...........
I read the 1st line didn't bother reading the rest due to the fact you said
"Those two brothers gave the ultimate sacrafice for those beefs and it ended up being their lives."
If you're saying its the coastal beefs that killed them its just as bad as spitting on their graves.
2pac was killed strictly over Compton bullshit
B.I.G was not killed over 2pacs death because he was murdered somewhat 7 months later, if 2pac was the case of his death B.I.G would have died a lot earlier. trust me.
I think PAC is being forgotten because no one from his camp is really keeping his name alive now. Sure after he died, he had many posthumous albums, but as of now, PAC isn;t being mentioned. B.I.G. on the other hand has had posthumous albums that has spanned over a period of time including the 10th anniversary Bad Boy C.D. and now he has a film, which seems like it's gonna be interesting.
I just hope these actors really had an idea of what it was like in hip hop during this time and truly grasp the concept of the movie.....This was big at the time, the west coast really had a strong hold on the rap scene until Chistopher Wallace burst on it.....IT WAS BIG......we here in brooklyn have had major rappers and mc's that came from here....none where as BIG as this legend was.....you just had to be here!!!!!!!!!....if you don't know you know....!!!
"I think PAC is being forgotten because no one from his camp is really keeping his name alive now."
incorrect.
Afeni Shakur (2pacs Mum) is keeping his name alive in terms of bringing out material
KEEP IT FUNKY
IM A DIE HARD BIGGIE FAN, ITS ABOUT TIME THEY DID A MOVIE OR SOMETHING. PAC WAS A HELL OF A GOOD DUDE N THEIR BEEF WAS BETWEEN THEM TWO N SHOULDA STAYED THAT WAY. PAC GOT A LOT OF BURN WITH POSTHUMUS ALBUMS N DOCUMENTARIES THAT HIT THE BIG SCREEN. ITS BIGGIES TIME TO SHINE SO LET THE MAN GET HIS MOMENT. I BET ANYTHING THEY'RE GONNA MAKE A PAC MOVIE NOW. BUT RIGHT NOW IS BIGGIES TIME. SO LET HIM LIVE.

Damn, this movie gone be good. I LOVE B.I.G. Rest in peace man. I think they should make one for Tupac too(RIP). They were and still are the greatest of all time. Cant wait to see this one!
With love,
Jenica
Damn This movie is gonna be good, if u really think about it, everything that was happening around that time, wit the east coast west coast beef, and the dis records and then both B.I.G and Tupac get Killed! did seem like a movie!
anyways stop complaining about who's the best,
they both were equal in talent!And wit the way the music is sounding these days they both are missed!
As a fan of both B.I.G and Tupac but a bigger fan of hiphop, I'm looking forward to paying my money to see this movie

I wonder how they're gonna show the 1994 shooting of Tupac. You know how Biggie was around but they never found out who actually did it. Even though some people blamed Biggie at the time. How are they gonna show what went down...
Guerilla black sounds like biggie alot nd is same in shape nd size but i think they were tryin 2 get da feel of big right to. the pressence he had in da room and his attitude looks lyk its gnna b a blok busta. R.I.P. B.I.G.
first off pac is one of the best rappers in the whole rap world and B.I.G is sick as shit and if you think that pac sucks i think if he was still alive today he woul probobly still be one of the best rappers. R.I.P. 2Pac And B.I.G.
bro.............shut up wit that mess man, EVERYBODY got love for
Pac and Biggie, son.. that drama was back in the day and it was mostly
propaganda started by the industry. ( and then finished by suge )
all of the east has and always had love for Pac.
MAN CANT WAIT FOR THE MOVIE
biggie was the best and i think still is from the east i stay with classic rap it sucks those days are gone after all the greatest rappers died eazy e tupac biggie aaliyah RIP
i am gonna b real w/ all u cats here...
B.I.G one of the best rappers dead or alive.
i am glad their making this movie, low budget or not.
good or bad characters. the point is, that someone
out there is breaking there heads to make this happened.
I speak for many Rap fans that we r forgetting bout PAC.
he deserves the same respect that their giving BIG.
I mean its not up to me or else i would of done it already
but to those who could make a difference they should.
thats jst ma point of view.
ROYAL
MA VIEW. it would be hard to make a film about pac without makingg it a biggie diss film. he spent most of his tym spitting at cameras nd getin pissed of wit big. i aint saying he shudnt have a film but it wud b boring nd 1 sided. he wasnt as interestin as big. his life is a real under dog story from crack dealin on da corna to brooklyns jesus nd he didint spend all his tym whining nd rappin that som1 was doin better than him. wen da beef started thats all his songs were about, biggie dissin or complainin that dat worlds hates him. so thats wat da film wud be, jst a biggie hatin complaing movie.
its a statment about big and pac u sed it urself ''I speak for many Rap fans that we r forgetting bout PAC'' and yet people jst cant forget Notorious B.I.G
PEACE. R.I.P. B.I.G.
AGAIN !!! my brother from anotha mother.............shut up wit that mess man, EVERYBODY got love for Pac and Biggie, son.. that drama was back in the day and it was mostly propaganda started by the industry. ( and then finished by suge )all of the east has and always had love for Pac.
Pac does deserve a movie as well but remember this flick is Ex.Produced
by the man who started wit big and told the world that he had Big's back.
over the years he has.
He helped do things for his mom and for big's family, thats why he made the movie, probaly jus to show love man, so stay of of that pac / biggie crap
peace,one love
Forest Whitaker was fantastic but the surprise was how convincing James McAvoy played the doctor. Couple this movie with Hotel Rwanda and I wish my history of Africa was more in depth. It may be time to sexy lingerie study Henry Louis Gates, Jr.'s Africana: The Encyclopedia of the African and African American Experience She actually wrote sexy costumesa book about her stipping days it is a quick, but fun and well written read, it is called 'Candy Girl: A Year in the Life of an Unlikely Stripper' you can find it on amazon
PLEASE READ!..... Biggie Smalls was a man that loved what he did and spoke about his life 4 a living. He was, still is and will always be the "Greatest Rapper of All Time". Not because his "word play" was superior to everyone elses (and it was), but because he spoke the truth from his point of view. I get chills listening to his rhymes and interviews and im sure u feel the same way. The man pretty much knew that his time with us was limited, but that didnt stop him from living his life to the fullest. I expect the same from all of u. So when u see this film about his life please remember that life is very short and u only get one chance. So do what u wanna do and most of all do what makes u happy. Times are getting tuffer... Are you? He died in L.A.But his heart never left N.Y. With that said i just wanna state one more thing....... NewYork Stand the F^@# up and support this film....PEACE!!! **ELITE**
R.I.P. Christopher George Latore Wallace A.K.A. THE NOTORIOUS B.I.G
Cannot wait to see this.
I'm a true hip-hop fan and I think this movie will be well worth a watch. I miss the days when Hip-Hop movies with break dancing use to hit the screens. Remember Crush Groove, Lee and the cast. They are not big name actors now but I tell you what, I'll never forget Lee in those colored levi jeans, suede pumas and lumber jacket because back then that was how it was done and now the Notorious with his shades, bling and hat will be immortalized as well. Stop being ignorant and reserve your judgment for after the movie is released and you see it.
man fuck yall haters b.i.g is the greatest get off his nuts stop riding
I get the feeling that most people got beef with the choice of actors based on LOOKS...
I see where that can be and IS a problem for some characters, but ya also have to realize, this is not a documentary or even a blockbuster big budget film. its not supposed to be on the level or Selena or Ray or that Johnny Cash flick. Hell they only have a fraction (and a SMALL fraction at that) of the budget of this films. The reality is that by the time the movie comes out in January 09, this film will be just shy of 12 YEARS in the making (dod 3/9/97) .
Its not a movie or a topic that HOLLYWOOD is dying to make. Its a LOW BUDGET indie class film. How bout instead of being mad that ya didnt get some BS Biggie look alike or the actual performers themselves to play all the parts, just be happy that someone had the time the money and the desire to make the movie at all
Be real people... hatin on the casting choices is like tellin the world and all the biggie fans not to waste their time OR MONEY seeing the movie cause the REAL Biggie isn't in it...
Get real, stop bitching about what ya dont like and go see the damn movie!!
You know I see alot of comments, but the truth of the matter is ... Its about time that someone at least attempts shoot a movie of hip hop's greatest..
People kill me about what someone else is doing, when they aint doing nothing themselves. I would think it would be sad for us, who support or have supported hip hop now or then, to just turn your back on a great artist. I mean like em or not, He was the king of New York. Even now there is no one on the east that can put words and stories together like BIG.
People that are hatin on the movie are the main reason why HIP HOP sucks right now
BIG MYKE
MANNN ALL YA'LL HATERS WHO SAY BIG WASN'T THE GREATEST ARE SERIOUSLY ON CRACK. BIG WAS THE KING OF THE EAST. PAC WAS THE KING OF THE WEST. PERIOD! SHUT UP BITCHES
Biggie the best ever... Hum... I dont think so man... Come on, all he was talking about was robbing people, fucking bitches, smoking weed, getting drunk and making money... I respect him and always will but he s definately not the best rapper ever!!!! Big Pun was and Immortal Technique is.... IMO
CASTING IS HORRIBLE IN THIS FILM! JUST CUS UR A TALENTED BLACK ACTOR DONT MEAN YOU SHOULD BE IN A MOVIE AS HISTORICAL AS THIS ONE...THEY NEED PEOPLE THAT VISUALLY FIT THE SHOES AS WELL AS PEOPLE THAT CAN PLAY THE PART..THE WHOLE THING SEEMS RUSHED TO ME!
AND I WAS LOOKING FORWARD TO THIS PROJECT..;-(
P.S. THE GUY PLAYING DIDDY DOES NOT FIT THE PART AT ALL!!! THEY HAD BETTER ACTORS IN THE TUPAC "HIT EM UP" VIDEO!!!!
THAT DUDE AINT RIGHT FOR BIGGIE THE DID BETTER IF THEY GOT A WHITE DUDE THATS HOW OFF HE IS FROM BIGGIE GOOD LUCK WITH THE MOVIE I DONT THINK IMMA SEE ONE OF MY FAVE RAPPERS GET SLAUGTHERD BY DUDES ACTING
I believe that 'Notorious' is going to do that. If a PAC film comes out about his life we should support that as well. PAC's life was a rough life but an amazing one as well. There is definitely a story that needs to be and eventually will be told. youtube eglence Video izle abiye youtube
