The saying goes when you play with fire en you will get burn no matter if you stop playing with fire the past always catches up with you and change your future.

No one know how it is to grown up on the mean streets in lease you did grown up there some time to make it you have to do things that the world knows it bad to do and there is risky that can cause you a lot of problems through out you life. But when you are push against the wall sometimes that is your only way out.

"Notorious" is about the life of rapper Christopher Wallace a.k.a. The Notorious B.I.G. In just a few short years, The Notorious B.I.G. rose from the streets of Brooklyn to become one of the most influential hip hop artists of all time. B.I.G. was a gifted storyteller; his narratives about violent life on the streets were told with a gritty, objective realism that won him enormous respect and credibility. His stories were universal and gave a voice to his generation.

I Grew up on the hip hop generation I remember going to Morgan Village Middle school and listening to The Fat Boys, Kurtis Blow, Kool Moe Dee and other great Hip Hop Greats. So when I heard they were making a movie base on The Notorious B.I.G I was like I have to see it.  

This film was a good bio picture they did center on how he became the great hip hop singers on his generation and how he had it rough growing up in his town and how no matter what bad stuff was happening he never forget his dream. The only problem I had they did not go into to much details of the big west vs east coast feud that he had with Tupac Shakur which both of them got killed and they never said who killed each of them.

Notorious was a good film that everyone who had a easy life should check out to see how it is to survive in a world that will keep throwing darts at you try for you to fail. The acting was very good by everyone in the film the actor Jamal Woolard plays Notorious he did a good job in the music scenes and an ok job in the acting screens. Derek Luke plays Sean Combs and he did a good job in the role he has become a great actor if he keeps this up he can be the next Denzel Washington. Naturi Naughton plays Lil Kim she was good in her role and she look good as well.
