Thank You.....people love to nitpick things that are irrelevant. Legendary Artist get countless Documentaries. This Documentary was much more personal, showed people in Biggie's family you've never seen or heard of. It also felt like He was telling the story ala "Tupac Resurrection" in parts. I really liked it. Also Yes I would love more documentaries on people like Big L or Pun, Eazy E etc but the reality is it's up to the Families, label or business partners of those estates to manage their Legacies. Why are people shocked Biggie's estate is on point with keeping his legacy going? That's what an Estate does. Especially one generating the money Biggie's does. Before Afeni Died, she released Several Double Pac Albums and Documentaries and was working on the Bio-Pic the year she died. Afeni did the same thing, keep Pac's Legacy going. More people will see this documentary as you said just because it's on Netflix. But yes you will learn something new from this documentary because it focuses more on his upbringing. People have to remember the Man died at 24.
Pop Smoke who died last year was only 20 so he was born 2 years after Biggie died. (Pop Smoke Estate just got going with a huge posthumous album and he has a movie coming out. Again this is what an estate does). Tons of young kids today are like that and missed out on the other Documentaries. Perfect Example, I had a young cousin of mines visit me last week. He's 26 years old, born in 95. He never saw "The Show" documentary and we watched it. He was memorized. "The Show" has been available for over 25 years but he didn't see it. Just cause those older Big Docs were out doesn't mean the Youth watched them like us.....who were there at the time and watched everything. They will learn from this Documentary. This year on March 9 it will be 24 years since Biggie Died. We've been without Biggie for the exact same time he's was on this Earth. This is what a Timeless Artist is. But I liked it, Like that the interviews were from all people close to Biggie instead of the normal "Rapper/Artist" interviews. Also didn't focus to much on the Beef but more Pac and Big's relationship. It truly was an origin story documentary were as the other docs didn't touch on his childhood as deeply went right to the other stuff. Check out the international Japanese Poster, dope.
you can't make anyone happy on this board and you're right. There's today's generation that have never seen the documentaries that we've watched and i'm all for keeping the legacy alive! My 14 year old step son learns from all of this, he's been interested in 90's hip hop since he was 10 and this kid has grown an appreciation for it thanks to documentaries like these. It's like older cats like us get mad if the kids don't know who certain rappers are, yet get mad as well when documentaries come out of said rapper so the youth can learn. Sh*t doesn't make any sense
