'Notorious: The Movie': Your Thoughts?
While the Notorious B.I.G biopic hit theatres in the US last month, the movie is set to debut here in the UK on February 13th. That Grape Juice was on hand at the selected press screening hosted by Fox last week in London's Leicester Square. 

I must say, after being a little pessimistic about the movie upon hearing about it, I was positively blown away. The stellar cast and the very impressive capturing of the 90's Hip-Hop scene really made for this to be one of the most authentic (feeling) biopics I've seen. A great movie. 

(Tidbits: Angela Basset really shines as Biggie's mother Voletta, while former 3LW star Naturi Naughton really surprises with her turn as Lil' Kim. Puffy is also a must-see)

With that, we want to know, for those who have seen the movie, as well as those who plan to...

Your thoughts on 'Notorious'?

Biggie // Jamal 'Gravy' Woolard {Spotted at Concreteloop}
Following a nationwide search in the US, that spanned several months, the cast for the upcoming biopic of slain rapper Christopher 'Notorious B.I.G' Wallace has been announced. Jamal 'Gravy' Woolard beat out competition from the likes of Sean Kingston to land the role of B.I.G - who was gunned down in 1997.

Award winning actress Angela Bassett will play the role of Biggie's mother Voletta Wallace. The George Tillman Jr directed film will also see actor Anthony Mackie tackle the role of Tupac Shakur and Derek Luke take on the role of Sean 'Diddy' Combs. 'Notorious' will be begin shooting on March 24th in New York.

I'm actually pretty hyped to see this. Check out more cast pics below:
