The Case for Biggie Smalls

[johnny on the spot]

Top stuff, one of the best freestylers of all time:

Like some off his stuff - hypnotise is quality as is love the dough, - but surely that B-movie about his life is gonna be one steaming pile of turd.

Sadly, probably. Most hip hop twinkies these days are frightnengly akin to Rags in their bandwagon jumping, uneducated approach. That film is made for them, undoubtedly; most depressing is the fact that without the success of 50 Pence's frankly laughable 'biopic', this might not have got a cheque from a major studio....

Wonder if film includes all the conspiracy theory about his death? Ill prob watch it when it eventually comes on sky. Ive sat through 8 mile after all.

Being one of Tupac's biggest fans, i dont overly like Biggie but can listen to his stuff, but i watched Notorious and have to say it was pretty good, apart from when they tried to make it out as if Biggie didn't set Tupac up ;)

Biggie only made two albums, how can some people call him great when he made TWO decent albums.

Come on, he had remarkable improv talent

I've always thought Biggie was over rated, I rate him but he wasnt all that. Didnt help that he was stuck with that twat 'Diddy' to be honest.

He made one classic album and one so-so double album in my opinion and I think a lot of his best stuff was done with other people or on harder to find underground albums etc.

On form though he was a formidable MC but in my opinion he had nothing on the likes of Big L, Lord Finesse, Ghostface or KRS to name but a few.
