Notorious B.I.G.: Bigger Than Life (2007) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Prolific hip-hop documentarian Peter Spirer (Thug Angel, Beef) delivers another fast-paced and stylish piece. The high points--rare home video footage of B.I.G. in candid moments; Memories by Matty C, Method Man, Easy Mo Bee and several childhood friends illuminate exactly what made him such a legendary emcee. and strictly UNBELIEVABLE footage of B.I.G.'s caravan leaving the Peterson Automotive museum literally seconds before he was shot. The downside is that there is absolutely NO MUSIC BY BIGGIE in the film at all. Interviews with Diddy and Ms. Wallace are glaringly absent. The bulk of this film is made up of outtakes of B.I.G. from the superior Rhyme and Reason. Even the bonus feature, LIVE FROM BEDFORD STUVESANT shows other kids freestyling, but whenever B.I.G. reaches for the mic, it fades to white. It seems likely that they have their own film projects in the works. So if you are a true Biggie fan, you will definitely want to cop this. Spirer definitely has the chops and cred to pull off the definitive documentary of Biggie, but without the participation of Bad Boy and Biggie's estate, it's impossible to give this 5 mics.
