One of the most Incredible parts regarding this Biopic project is the fact that Faith Evans, Biggie's Long Term Love, was heavily involved in the creation of this film. In the very beginning stages, she was asked to contribute her input, ideas, concepts and facts as she directly recalls. As a result, the film portrays her relationship alongside B.I.G in such a way that is favorable, I suppose, to Faith's side of the story.

On the contrary, Lil Kim has begun to speak Openly regarding the affairs that surround the events portrayed in the film. Kim has grown increasingly angry and irritated with Faith and Biggie's Mom, for the specific ways in which her character is portrayed throughout the cinematic project. Lil Kim was given an opportunity to contribute her input, ideas, concepts and facts to the scripting process. However, she denied the request; hence her distate for the movie, itself.

In protest, I suppose, Lil Kim did NOT make a Red Carpet appearance for the premiere of the NOTORIOUS film on Wednesday night.

I have ALWAYS hailed Derek as one of this generations most talented and prestigious young actors. I am always impressed with his on-screen performances, and look forward to his promising future in Hollywood. He caught me spellbound with his December 2005, debut performance as Antwon Fischer.

ANGELA BASSET

After YEARS of Repeated, OUTSTANDING Screen Performances, along with an Oscar Upset in the Early 90's; for it was ANGELA Who SHOULD have been the FIRST Black Woman to WIN a BEST LEADING ACTRESS Oscar for her Portrayal of The Legendary Tina Turner, Angela Basset is FINALLY garnering her Just-Do with a ST*R on The HollyWood Walk of Fame.
Angela Deserves Any and All Accolades that are bestowed Upon Her. She is a Stellar Presense of American Cinema, and One of the TRUE and ESSENTIAL Cinema Talents of Our Era.

Whats so 'INTERESTING' about this film, regarding a Strong Woman who Fights and Struggles Tooth and Nail to keep her children OFF of the Streets, and yet finds her Back Up-Against-a-Wall when she Unexpectedly gets laid off from her job, is the FACT that the film does NOT require a cameo from the Questionable, Bafoonery Caricacture of MADEA; and yet and still, She APPEARS in this Project.

Im going to see the film TODAY, with Wesley, in Matinee. Im WONDERING How it is that Tyler Perry has Managed to SUCCESSFULLY Distribute 5 Films in the Past 3 Years, All Packaged by LionsGate Pictures, each garnering OVER $50,000,000 [Box Office SUCCESS]...and Yet, Seemingly, he's STILL having to Put MADEA into the Projects, as to, what SEEMS LIKE, Satisfy the Executives?

...or, is The BLACK AUDIENCE Not Yielding in Our Efforts to Accept Films of Deep and Heart Wrenching Content, WITHOUT the Presense of Comedic Banter and Plain Ol SILLINESS?

Tyler Perry is indeed, One of the Black Filmmakers Whose Artistry, I admire, Moreso for his Blessings and Drive, than the Characters he creates, and the Storylines he Presents. Hes a Man Who used Comedy and Caricacture to Kick in the Doors of HollyWood, as to be able to Develop OTHER 'Types' of Projects. Still, However, despite the Somewhat Positive Nature of his Work, he has yet to use his Artistic License and HollyWood Influence to Create a Project that TRULY incites the Existence and Stance of Black Societal Accord.

I Respect and Honor Tyler Perry. I just Want to See him Present a Film that TRULY Hits the Hearts, Souls and Minds of Middle America; Something MORE Controversial, and Less, Easy Going and Comical. Thats All.

Angela Bassets Talents are FAR MORE Exceeding than the Demands of this Role. I Guess, as My Father Says, 'She Needed a PayDay'.
