Biggy was a musician. Who are you... who is anybody to decide what music is and isnt??? Just because my dad doesnt like my brother's screamy music, and just because my brother doesnt like my rap... doesnt give them the right to say what they dont like is not music. If it is spoken, chanted, sung, put to a beat, put to a song, put to an instrument.... its music.

Whats with all the hate, if you don't like the movie then don't see it. Beyond that, what more do you want?

I didn't think Beverly Hills Chiwawa was going to be worth a shit, so I didn't see it.

However, I did see ATL because I wanted to see something different and I had caught various filming scene while in Atlanta. Wasn't a wonderful movie but who cares.

Thats what I was thinking. Just because you dont like a certain time of music doesnt mean its not music. I cant stand country, but yet I still recognize it as music. And like sixxer said, I cant rap and chances are most of you cant rap either, it takes some musical talent to be able to truly rap. (Note:this does not include most of the trash thats on the radio right now like soulja boy, flo rida, etc.)

I guess it could be a good movie. And I enjoy rap but I was more of a Death Row fan than the Biggie side. I won't see the movie but I didn't see Walk the Line either. I love Johnny Cash to death and can sing about half of his songs by heart. But I've heard his stories through his music since I was 12.

But I love how often these rappers our put on a status of say the Beatles, Elvis, Cash, or even Run DMC. When their rise to fame is mainly getting shot around their prime and before they became burnouts.

I do like this quote from Chris Rock -
I'm watching the news … Tupac Shakur was assassinated, Biggie Smalls assassinated, struck down by assassin's bullets … no, they wasn't. Martin Luther King was assassinated, Malcolm X was assassinated, John F. Kennedy was assassinated. Them two niggas got shot! Shit, I love Tupac, I love Biggie, but school will be open on their birthday

And I remember in another he talks about "You ain't going to see a picture of 2pac at your Grandmas house". (Grandma)"Here's Jesus, Lincoln, MLK, and Pac"

How has biggie smalls inspired anyone to do anything but sound like every other rapper out there. And what made him different than anyone else? Nothing.

Both movies are pseudobiographies, but I think more people are interested in watching something about a country and blues legend than they are in watching Hustle and Flo, I mean Get Rich or whatever, I mean another movie about a poor black kid from the hood who makes it big doing something with no value, like I said before. Hell, 8 mile was interesting for a fleetingly longer second because it was different to see a famous white guy with no musical talent rapping.

You want to impress me with one of these movies? Make one about the first rappers, people like Grandmaster Flash who pioneered the art. Make sure you mention that the first rap song on the radio was actually performed by a blonde, white woman though.

No this post makes you seem more racist then the last one.

Amorok Is still caught up on the fact that We ARENT FUCKING COMPARING JOHNNY CASH and BIGGIE...Shut the fuck up already and READ.

This is about the Movie not if Biggie was a influence on Music or Not. Its about making money in the entertainment world not the signifigance of how influential Biggie was on the rap game. If you cant see past that, Well then I cant help you.

I love u
