Biggie Smalls, The Notorious BIG, or Christopher Wallace. He changed the genre of hip-hop while leading a life of excess. I anticipated this documentary to be about Biggie Small’s rap career and how it changed the industry. Instead, I got something far more interesting. The documentary uses accounts of Christopher Wallace – the man, with much of the story coming from accounts of Wallace’s life from his mother and childhood friends. While I assumed a documentary would be a series of other musicians talking about the inspiration of Biggie to all of hip-hop, it was a nice story about a boy who started down a path he was not ready for. He found a way to make the world happy and a brighter place with his music, and it is an interesting story about Christopher Wallace not just Biggie Smalls.
