No-No-NOTORIOUS

(May 21, 1972 – March 9, 1997)

"And if ya don't know, now ya know.....NIGGA.........."
How time flies. Big was killed 13 years ago. Wow. I still find it unbelievable that both the Biggie and the Tupac murders are still mysteries. I feel like if Tim McGraw and Garth Brooks were beefin' and they both were killed within a year we'd know who did it within 10 business days of the killings. I hate to throw the race card out there, but come on. They looked into the Jon Benet Ramsey case harder than they did either of these.

You know how people say Biggie made the big man sexy? That couldnt be further from the truth. Even if I saw Biggie at the club on my drunkest most golddiggery night, he would not get it. Diddy in the 90's? Maybe. But Biggie, no way. Same goes for you too Lil' Wayne. Sorry.

Now you know I gotta give my commentary on the movie "Notorious." You know I LOVE movies based on artists. I watched this everyday for like 2 weeks straight at one point. LOL

I have always wanted to see the actors and the real-life characters next to each other so I did some net-surfin' and these are my results.

Both these nigga's ugly as that thang. But the actor looks a smidge better than the real thing, believe it or not. He did do a really good job playing him though. It was really believable. Especially with those cotton balls or whatever in his bottom lip.






Although Diddy is not a bad looking man, he ain’t no Derek Luke. Derek can get it! Lisp and all. It took me a while to notice his lil’ speech impediment, but its okay. We can forgive that. He totally won me over when he danced like Diddy (well Puffy) in the movie. When he had that silk shirt on and he was twirling all around, I had to do a double-take! He nailed it. But I knew he was too sexy to be Diddy.



Next we have Naturi vs. Lil’ Kim. Poor Kimmy was portrayed as a groupie Biggie lovin’ whore in this movie. Most people say it’s the truth but I think everybody has skeletons in their closet yet Kim’s were the only one’s thrown out there. Biggie was made out to be a sweetheart when it came to the Tupac situation but he was a lil’ mean to Kim. Idk how that whole situation went down but when it cut to the scene of Naturi riding fake Biggie like a stallion, it threw me ALL the way off! She’s come a long way since 3LW!


I think Antonique Smith did pretty good as Faith. Her performance wasn’t great or terrible. She was just there I guess. The resemblance was a definite plus. The best scene by far was when she beat up Biggie’s jumpoff in the hotel room! Whew! Loved it! I hated when her and Big did that beat box thing though. Turn off.

 
 
 I almost forgot, the worst portrayal of them all!! Anybody who knows me knows I absolutely hate this dude as Tupac!!! OMG!!!! HATE! Nothing personal against him or his performance but he looks nothing like Tupac. Sounds nothing like Tupac. Reminds me of nothing that says Tupac. I could go on, on, and on. Thatisall.
 
 
 
 
And Shug. Who cares. I found his pic, so there ya go. But it is funny that he said “Hellll No!” when asked if he would say if he knew who killed Pac. “I ain’t no snitch!” Oh and wait. “If you don’t want the executive producer all in the videos. Dancing. COME TO DEATH ROW!” Classic.
 
 
   
I just wanted to take a minute out to dedicate this blog to the one and only Notorious B.I.G. No, I wasn’t really his biggest fan, but this is another senseless murder that is still unsolved and I think that’s really sad. I wanted to put my silly spin on this situation and speak on a lighter note in regards to this tragedy. If you don’t like it, kick rocks.

Smooches with a RED lip!
