Notorious

A fascinating, in-depth, factually based film that chronicles the all-too-short career and life of overweight, confident rapper Notorious B.I.G., aka Christopher Wallace (Jamal Woolard), beginning in 1983 with his childhood growing up with his hardworking mother (Angela Bassett) in Brooklyn, his drug dealing days and eventual incarceration, the tumultuous relationships with his many girlfriends (Julia Pace Mitchell, Naturi Naughton, et al.), his rocky marriage to singer Faith (Antonique Smith), his rise of stardom after he teams up with music mogul Sean "Puffy" Combs (Derek Luke), and ending with his death at age 24 on March 8, 1997, from a gunshot wound in Los Angeles.
