I love that title.

It makes me wish we could get a movie with some of his storytellin songs acted out in it.

I still SEE the "I Got A Story to Tell" frame by frame just off the way Big conveyed it. I know I'm not the only one who pictures a simp walkin up the stairs with 2 drinks in his hand lookin like:mjlit:

I think Irv Gotti did I got a story to tell on his show on BET that brought songs to life. Forgot the name of it. But even without that you can def see Story to tell. One of the goat story telling songs, madd vivid :wow:

Bigger Than Life and Biggie & 2Pac were good docs. I'll see what the reviews are like for this one.

Not necessarily. And there's still a lot of younger people who never have seen a Biggie documentary and will be watching this one. More younger people finding out about a Hip Hop legend is never a bad thing imo. I just don't see the negative to it.

There's plenty of people/topics that have multiple documentaries and if I'm interested I watch, if not, I don't. I just don't see the issue, it's not like anyone is forced to watch the dead horse get beat.

If people had a legit argument against it, than maybe I'd understand the critiques better. But it seems people are just upset because there's been other Biggie docs, and to me, that doesn't make all that much sense.

i think another argument is that they come out in such rapid secession that it becomes overkill. I kind of agree with Wacky D, in that at this point, anyone that doesn't know about Big's story, doesn't care to know about it. He's consistently in Top 5's, brought up all of the time, docs all of the time..wasn't there one on Prime not too long ago?

Now it doesn't bother me, because anything I don't care about, I won't watch. I barely watch Netflix like that to begin with.

But at the same time, there are other rappers/groups that need documentaries about them. We can't keep rehashing the same stuff/people, and expect hip-hop to grow...or the history to be preserved.

This was good a lot of never seen before footage. It was crazy how Big was living when he was touring his first album as an platinum selling rapper. His tour bus didn’t have A/C. They was in motels.

It’s funny because in the doc he mentions he was making 10K a show, doing 4 shows a week. Basically 40K a week/160,000 a month, and that was 1995. Which is great money, especially for that time period. However, If Biggie had come out now and was as popular as he was in 1995, he’d be making 100K a show easily now.

This first time they really for in-depth about Biggie’s friend O. His death was crazy. They didn’t really delve too much into I’m the details around it.
