Notorious (15)

In the early hours of March 9, 1997, Christopher 'Biggie' Wallace aka rapper The Notorious B.I.G. left a Los Angeles club with his entourage, bound for their hotel. When the vehicles stopped at traffic lights, an unknown assailant opened fire in a drive-by shooting, spraying the car with bullets and fatally injuring the musician. His passing was the latest flashpoint in a fierce rivalry between east and west coast rappers including Tupac Shakur, who had died in a drive-by shooting in September the previous year. This biopic offers up reverent if not entirely affectionate portrait of the man, piecing together the rapper's formative years in Brooklyn in the mid '80s and his relationship with his mother Voletta.
