So apparently even when you hold your piece sideways you can STILL hit the broad side of a barn.

Notorious B.I.G. Film Casts Gravy to Play Legendary Rapper

Wavy Gravy? That old hippie clown is still around? Good for him.

If street cred is gettin yo ass shot off?
You're doing it wrong.

TheSilverOne: Wavy Gravy? That old hippie clown is still around? Good for him.

Well, he did popularize the technique of stealing the music from another song and chanting new words over it.

Shoulda been the huge ass dude from Three-Six.

Anybody that brushes off getting shot in the ass to go do a radio interview is ok in my book. I hope they don't screw this project up.

Glad you are dead you talentless gangster asshole.

If you weren't dead, I would kill you myself. Thanks for promoting the lifestyle your people need to escape. Thanks for doing more to promote racial stereotypes than all the KKK members could dream of in the '60s.

Leave it to Rollingstone.com to Obama-tize a Fark "Notorious BIG" thread.

PC LOAD LETTER...........agree

He'll be so mad when he reads that.

that's racist. ;)

They could get the real Biggie if they looked in a mirror and said Biggie Smalls 3 times.

I remember the Rappin' Duke so I'm getting a kick out of some of these replies.

What about that little kid from the Sky's the Limit video? He should be around the right size to play Biggie.

And PC LOAD LETTER, I think you're mad at NWA.

PC LOAD LETTER, 'they' did escape. Just like the genre in white movies aren't spaghetti westerns as much as the early 60s, so has the landscape of hip-hop changed back to dance tunes for most black folks. Sorry if you missed the change; you don't have to be afeard any more until the next go-round. I, for one, miss it, and wish folks could still come up with creative rhymes for shooting folks. Some of the greats that could ended up dying. Live by the sword, and so on...

/if you really liked the genre, many more topics to listen about
//you probably don't, tho'

NOTORIOUS T.H.R.O.N.G.

/homie ain't fat enough

But if he's an ex-drug dealing shot-in-the-ass rapper playing Biggie Smalls, he's not really acting, is he?

Who's playing Suge Knight, a hardcore gangster record mogul doing time for murder?

I guess I'm gonna have to be the one to say this, but this movie sounds like its going to be terrible. And absolutely uninteresting. There I said it.

/I was never a big fan of the man, I blame people like him for what has happened to the industry now.
//There once was a time when "fight the power that be" was the message. Now its all about gold chains, money, hos, and drugs.

They should've gotten this guy.

Link (new window)

Biggie was actually good. Unlike Tupac I find he actually lived (lol) up to the hype. Of course, like most hip hop, his songs sound better when covered by Mindless Self Indulgence.

So rapping about one's crappy life promoting a lifestyle? What should they rap about? Subdivisions and private schools?

People are so quick to say "Don't blame movies for school shootings!" or "Don't blame Manson for Columbine!" but it is always the rappers fault for the troubles in the inner cities.

Double standard much? Let's say I rap about stapling my nuts to the wall and hundreds of kids do it. Who's fault is it? Mine or the farking idiots who mimic song lyrics?

Also: How come Guns N Roses or any other heavy metal band are given a free ride when it comes to promoting lifestyles?

Duh. Everyone knows rap predates violence, drugs, guns, and inner city ghettos.

I was always a Public Enemy fan in middle school.

I really like Wu-Tang clan and Method Man and Redman side project. But, no one raps like Biggie

greatest ever

... shoulda been Artie.

Dammit, I was hoping it'd be Cedric...

Mom sez "charming personality, warm spirit, wonderful sense of humor and beautiful smile" captured the essence of B.I.G.

Sample lyrics by BIG
"I got techniques drippin out my buttcheeks
Sleep on my stomach so I don't fark up my sheets, huh
My shiat is deep, deeper than my grave G
I'm ready to die and nobody can save me
fark the world, fark my moms and my girl
My life is played out like a jheri curl, I'm ready to die"

/Yes I know it's "entertainment"
//Martin Luther King was "assassinated"...

Inflammatory? Check. Tough guy posings and cheap threats? Check. Impossibly innacurate and incorrect hyperbole? Check. No appreciation or understanding of art? Check. Scapegoating songwriters for social ills? Check.


Is it really you?



/Biggie was the greatest IMO
//If Puffy has anything to do with the film it should be crap

NeauxFear: PC LOAD LETTER: your people

"Your people" is OK. Thats like saying "Your peeps." Now if he had said "You people", then thats racist...I think? It gets changed around a lot and that tends to confuse your average cracker. Thats why I just use "The Community"

As revenge for Michael Clarke Duncan playing Kingpin in Daredevil, I say we have John Goodman play the Notorius BIG.

Ok, you can argue that Biggie changed the game, but it's not his fault that every rapper in the late 90's wanted to sound like him; he was the best.

Lord Finesse & Nas as well as Rakim giggle at your comment....

Now I'm thirteen, smokin' blunts, makin' cream
On the drug scene, fark a football team
Riskin' ruptured spleens by the age of sixteen
Hearin' the coach scream at my lifetime dream, I mean
I wanna blow up, stack my dough up
So school I didn't show up, it farked my flow up
Mom said that I should grow up and check myself
before I wreck myself, disrespect myself
Put the drugs on the shelf? Nah, couldn't see it
Scarface, King of New York, I wanna be it
Rap was secondary, money was necessary
Until I got incarcerated--kinda scary
C74-Mark 8 set me straight
Not able to move behind the great steel gate
Time to contemplate, damn, where did I fail?
All the money I stacked was all the money for bail...


Talent. Nuff said.
