Instead, it arguably takes a definite biased stand, elevating its subject to pariah. Though the material drives alongside his drug-selling, two-timing, and warring with fellow rapper Tupac Shakur, the script never crashes head-on into the overall issue of angel or devil. Given the fact that the breadth of the story takes place during the MTV Age, however, this manner serves the material perfectly. Oftentimes, the flick feels like a music video, which would normally be met with cries of foul by your reviewer. And this is not to say that the film should have embraced a manic, non-linear, cross cutting approach a la NixonNotoriouss style is in its straightforwardness. The film takes a definite vantage point, albeit in successive cradle-to-grave chapters. In this R-rated bio-pic, the life and violent death of East Coast rapper Christopher Wallace, AKA Notorious B.I.G. Buoyed by an amazingly dead-on performance, Notorious is everything an invigorating biography should be. Perhaps, the film could have been even more warts-and-all and less like a filmstrip, but the story that results is never boring. Best of all, like the best of the genre, the film is more interested in its subjects eventful life than controversial death.
The material is honest and heartfeltfor the lead actor, this assessment goes tenfold. Think of it as a Horatio Rapper tale, a truly American Rags to Bling story that encompasses all of the finest elements of a good bio-pic. The whole gangsta rap posture was dangerous, as B.I.G. In "Notorious," they show how talent can lift a kid up off the street corner, but can't protect him in a culture of violence.

He is sweet-tempered, even after being seduced into the street-corner crack business, but he sounds tough in his rap songs - tough, introspective, autobiographical and a gifted writer. "You too fat, too black and too ugly," a girl tells him. "Notorious" tells us of a bright kid who was abandoned by his father, raised by a mother from Jamaica who laid down the rules and told the kids on the playground he would be famous some day. have focused on the final years of his life. He was born in Brooklyn, loved his mother (a teacher who was studying for a master's degree), got into street-corner drug dealing because he liked the money, performed rap on the street and at 20 was signed by record producer Sean Combs. The film "Notorious" is more interested in the kid. He was known as the Notorious B.I.G., a man-mountain of rap, but behind the image was Christopher Wallace, an overgrown kid who was trying to grow up and do the right thing.
