Christopher Wallace The Notorious B-I-G, Don’t Go
|
Posted By: on January 20, 2009 I had the opportunity Sunday to see the Movie, “The Notorious” based on the life and times of Rapper, Biggy Smalls who was shot dead in Oakland California several years back. Myself, I was also born in Brooklyn but raised in Queens, New York. I could relate to Chris’s dreams and music. To my way of thinking Christopher Wallace was the Langston Hughes of Gangster Rapp from Brooklyn. There was something special that Christopher added to rap music that made his stories more convincing to me. He sounded authentic and one just knew Biggy had experienced it all, though, Christopher’s Mother in a recorded interview said, “My son went to private schools and he had a middle class life, he was not raised in the streets as one might think from his music.” He was the total opposite of his lyrical Improvisations. This film also plays to the myth of a” Big Poppa”, you know what I mean, Big Poppa, the Man, that spends his whole life in the effort of helping others at the neglect of his own happiness and well being. If critical thinking is something this generation of young people needs to do, then the subject matter, The Notorious B-I-G is a great place to start analyzing. For starters why were Christopher Wallace and Tupoc Amaru Shakur assassinated, does anyone know? Who was behind these murders? Do these killings connect to Kennedy, King, Malcolm X and numerous other American pro-black leaders’ assassinations? What happened to the investigations by the authorities, have they also become part of the national security loophole for withholding information from the public? It is my opinion that Hollywood has managed to produce another tragic story about life in Black America without pointing any fingers at itself and those who bank roll the music industry. Hollywood still finds a way to make a profit off a dead man’s life, like that of Christopher Wallace, The Notorious B-I-G. I would not recommend seeing this film until we gets some indictments and convictions in the Wallace murder case.
