Honestly I can’t think of another film other than Dark Knight that has gotten me as tingly in the past year as “Notorious” (1/19/2009). This film charts the rise of none other than Christopher Wallace aka the Notorious B.I.G. From hustlin’ the streets…to sold out seats, Biggie Smalls was the illest. You may even be familiar with some of the drama surrounding the lead role for the film whereby unknown actor Jamal Woolard (above) landed the lead after extra-hard (and questionable) pushes by Beanie Siegel and Sean Kingston–the latter even going as far as having his camp falsely leak info that he had landed the role already.
That said, who better to usher in Biggie’s rags-to-Moet story than Brooklyn’s Finest himself, Young Hova. The first single off the soundtrack is ridiculously hot, with Santogold on the hook and Kanye at the reins. You may want to use the restroom before you watch this…
SHUT UP!! aaahhh, excited! =)
