On Thursday January 8, 2009, we attended the Brooklyn premiere of Notorious, the movie on the life and times of Christopher Wallace, aka Notorious B.I.G. (Biggie). This event was held at the Brooklyn Academy of Music (BAM). It was an awesome event that was attended by Biggie’s family members, including his mother Voletta Wallace and his widow Faith Evans, and friends, Brooklyn city officials, other dignitaries, celebrities, Biggie’s fans, and other special guests and members of the public. Biggie was from Brooklyn, so a movie about his life has a special meaning to the people of Brooklyn, especially those who knew him.
Dignitaries in attendance include: Marty Markowitz (Brooklyn Borough President), who delivered a proclamation on the behalf of David Patterson, Governor of the State of New York; The Reverend Jessie Jackson; and Latisha James, Brooklyn Council Member.
Celebrities in attendance include: George Tillman, Jr., Director of Notorious; Jamal Woolard, who plays the role of Biggie; Derek Luke, who plays the role of Puffy; Antonique Smith, who plays the role of Faith Evans; Anthony Mackie, who plays the role of Tupac; and Dennis L.A. White, who plays the role of D-Roc.
All we will tell you about Notorious is that you should make sure you see it.

Can't wait for this movie to open in Jamaica. Biggie's mom is Jamaican you know, so he holds a special place in Jamaican culture
