Viaţa lui Notorious BIG, subiect de film

Scris deRealitatea.NET

Nearly 12 years since four gunshots ended the life of Christopher Wallace, better known as rapper Notorious BIG, a new film looks back at the life of the larger-than-life music star. At the height of the east coast-west coast hip-hop feud, which had already claimed the life of his one-time friend Tupac Shakur, BIG - or Biggie Smalls, as he was known to his fans - travelled to California to promote his second album, the prophetically-titled Life After Death. He would not live long enough to see it released just 16 days later. Minutes after leaving a party, Biggie, 24, was gunned down in a car passenger seat, leaving behind a grieving mother and wife, a daughter and an unborn son. In just a few short years, the Brooklyn musician had gone from teenage drug dealer to one of the brightest stars of the American rap scene, to the morgue - another victim of the escalating violence between rappers from either side of the same country.
