    I thought they should have had gorilla black play the role as well. Who the fck is Gravy? He makes Biggie look like a bashful fat kid thats begging Puffy to change his life. They got a really good Actor to play the role of Puffy and since Biggie is not here to pick the person to play his role…they should have let the people decide. They are also saying that Biggies mom told the story….no comment on that. I will just say one thing they should have let her tell the story about big before he met Puffy.
    I will go to see this movie but Im not going to wait to see it to say im pissed…Im already pissed

    yeah , seems they need better consulting on this. if you’re gonna get historical it’s best to be as accurate as possible

    Can a brotha get a review? I’m curious, but if I pay that money and it ends up being crap I’m gonna be pissed on more than one level…Firstly because of the money and second because they effed up Biggies story.

    They couldn’t even make the stills worthwhile, how many of those cars are even relevant to the films era. This film is going to be as significant as the biggie duets album
