Notorious is the story of Christopher Wallace who, through raw talent and sheer determination, transforms himself from a Brooklyn street hustler to become the greatest rapper of all time, The Notorious B.I.G. This story charts his meteoric rise to fame and his refusal to succumb to expectation. Produced by Voletta Wallace (BIG's mother), Wayne Barrowman and Mark Pitts (BIG's managers), Notorious challenges us all to redefine our notion of what is "The American Dream". (20th Century Fox AU)

The world of uneducated tough guys from the streets, who were destined for a career as pimps, drug dealers, bouncers, or thieves, and instead successfully started a music career and became famous rappers. The new position and self-confidence often became associated with old habits in the event of success, so the gentlemen appeared in public with a large security detail, adorned with gold chains, famous for their boastfulness, usually accompanied by black females dazzled by bling. Notorious does not stand out as a biographical film, nor as a drama, and not even as a representative of the music genre. It has significance for fans of black rap, specifically Christopher Wallace. Overall impression: 40%.
