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.

Comment text: Marie will be forever treasured in memories.
The memories remain of a soft-spoken, seemingly unassuming but determined individual who absolutely knew what path she wanted to take in life, and followed it.
Her instinctive reactions, which highlighted her steadfast level of love and caring for her family, friends and all living things found in nature, hold lessons for us all.
An unexpected splash of her self-deprecating humor, coupled with uncanny timing, will always bring a smile.
For me, Marie lives on in the sighting of a Black-crowned night heron in the tules, the bloom of a beautiful spring flower and, most poetically, in the struggle of wildlife photographers handling their very large camera lenses.

Comment text: I just figured out that Betty was my 1st cousin. Her dad Ted was my dad's brother. I never knew Ted or Betty, but I wish I did. I am 73 and live in IL. I am building my family tree and see where Betty has fit in. Blessings to you Curt and family.
