NOTORIOUS Coming January 16, 2009, from Fox Searchlight Films
More than an account of The Notorious B.I.G.s’ remarkable career, UNBELIEVABLE tells the untold story of Christopher Wallace and his remarkable transformation into rap kingpin Biggie Smalls. Based on exclusive interviews with Wallace’s family and friends—many of whom have never spoken publicly about him before—Hip hop journalist and Hollywood screenwriter Cheo Hodari Coker traces his family life in Brooklyn, his developing love of hip hop, and all the intricacies of his romantic life as well as his friendships with Puff Daddy and Tupac Shakur, a close friend who became a bitter rival.
Before he rocketed to fame as Biggie, Christopher Wallace was an honors student being raised by a loving single mother. After dropping out of school to sell drugs, Biggie discovered that he had a gift for rocking the mike. Compellingly written and brilliantly illustrated, with rare color and black-and-white photographs, this is an in-depth look at the life and afterlife of an icon whose music is as powerful and prevalent as ever more than a decade after his tragic murder. A virtuoso of flow as well as a master storyteller, Biggie was arguably the greatest rapper of all time. We’ve heard a lot of speculation about Biggie’s death. Now it’s time to remember his life and celebrate his work.
