NOTORIOUS Video Diary #2: Brooklyn
Hey everybody! Check out this video. It's a look at the old neighborhood and the places where we shot the film... BROOKLYN!
Until now, i have been silent to the blood games.
living in LA when BIG died it really changed things..
Suge felt like he was left with nothing when he changed Pac's lane...
Just a big jealous B**CH with no friggin brains.
See I was right there when the guns rattled late night in LA, I saw em all scramble.
I even seen the puller of the trigger.. pOINT bLANK
it's a damn shame i have to say it was a another nigga, WHO DIDNT THINK.
He took the life of great MC,
We all mourned when we lost the great MC.
So Suge when it's all said and done and your broke without a dime...
Can you still say the industry is all mine!!!!
RIP BIG and TUPAC
and YES we miss you..
Rest in Peace to my nigga BIGGIE!!!!

Word...where is Jay-Z in this film? maybe the only person I haven't seen in credits...i'm hoping its a suprise that he is in the film...I mean they were just as close as the members of Junior mafia were to B.I.G.... also the LOX and MA$E towards the end of his life...besides that i'm proud to say that i grew up during a time where Rap music was at its highs...thanks to BIG r.i.p.
-Sdot BROOKLYN STAND UP!!!!
i love biggie died or not because will always be here to me as a role model as how growing up in the hood wasn't so easy.being a teenager was so easy he taught me how to take care of my baby in the hood and how to teach my baby your numder one fan
sincereily,
your numder one friend
My sentiments exactly. I was ion imdb.com and saw the cast but no Jay-Z. I understand if it's the early life but it goes on to his death, right? The recording of Brooklyn's Finest, if nothing else, chronicles what could have been. I'm not trying to tell how to make your movie but just wondering...
Mr. barrow, my question is will here be a Jay-Z character in this movie?. Jay-Z and Big were good friends in his later life and shared some stories that are hip hop legends. Jay-Z is also one of few current stars to record with Big. Just wondering if that will be shown in this movie.
Great sentiment, Ryan. Hey, if they don't need you in New York, maybe you could send a similar letter to Obama's campaign. And really help out.
Hi Mr. Barrow,
My name is Ryan and I'm one of the biggest BIG fans you'll ever find. I read the Cheo Hodari Coker book "Unbelievable" in like 3 days. I'm living near Detroit right now. Is filming for this movie still going on? If so, I would love to drive out and work for free as an assistant on the set or to those involved in the movie. I would be willing to help you all out in whatever you need. No job is too small. I'd really like to just know that I played a part in this movie in some way if this is possible. Please contact me at ryanmc@umich.edu. Thanks.
My name is Bruce Campbell AKA MadFootage.
Please get in contact with me,I have some real interesting stories and input that will really help the flim. Everybody there should remember Mad Footage!!!! Even you Mr. Barrow ,I use to follow behind Puff BIG and the Junior Mafia and a bunch of other artist on BadBoy.I was a member of the street team and I also worked at and help build Daddy's House Recording Studio I was the Tape Libarian. I am an aspiring actor rapper director myself, dont leave me out again. Hollar Back. House# 8438383026 Cell# 8433216365 Tell Gucci Don I said whats up? P.S. I also have some rare footage on BIG.
It's about time to pay homage to one of the greatest rappers.
I'd like to know more about who's playing Biggy and how he was selected.
Yo I grew up in the 80's with Big & Puff. I am so glad they did the movie in the NYC, I'm from the Bronx but Brooklyn is where its at! I am 43 now and when I hear Big come on the radio its volume to the Max, He is a true hip hop legend. He will forever be missed! Ms. Wallace, May God keep you and Bless you each and every day!
I hope u include scenes from the Tunnel when BIG and Puff used to have the first 500 ladies in free jump off. That was when i realized just how special BIG really was because he had me in that club every Sunday. I will never forget when GET MONEY first came out and every car on the West 27th was playing that song while they were waiting for parking to get into the club! It was surreal! I will always miss BIG for the fun and indescribable feelings he brought to the game.
RIP BIG, will be missing you 4ever

So glad somebody is making this movie. Can't wait to see it. I still can't believe that after all of these years, neither Tupac nor Biggie's murders have been solved. That screams conspiracy to me. Just doesn't make sense to me that it's that easy to get away with a high-profile murder like that.
