Biggie: I Got a Story to Tell

Um documentário padrão.. Nada de mais e nada de menos.. Só não dou 5 estrelas pois não é nada inovador.

78% or so. Rating a couple weeks after watching. Fun watch but wasn't overly exciting. I'd probably rate it a bit lower if I didn't love biggie

The thing that made 'Biggie: I Got a Story to Tell' so enjoyable was there was the involvement of those who knew him best and the focus on some of the lesser-known details of his early life.

There was a moment while watching this where Biggie - in what was I think 1994 - was giving an on-air interview talking about his newborn daughter and in the middle of it goes to pull out a picture of her to show the lady interviewing him. Beyond the wholesomeness of the pride we see in Biggie's face I, for one reason or another, totally expected him to pull out a phone on which he would show the interviewer a picture. When he didn't and instead pulled out a wallet-sized print of his baby girl I was taken aback by the realization of just how long ago what I was watching now is. In 2021, Biggie Smalls will have been gone longer than he was alive. I went into Biggie: I Got a Story to Tell expecting much of what it had to offer to largely be a retread of things I'd seen and heard before, but the home video footage offered by Damion 'D Roc' Butler is pretty special and only furthers a mythology that's continued to build for twenty-four years and counting. I Got a Story to Tell serving as an effective contribution to that of who The Notorious B.I.G. actually was.

Biggie: I Got A Story To Tell, gives us a pleasent look at a rapper with a great story, but doesn't give us anything new. This movie was great, and reminded me of Biggies story, but didn't fully capture me in. I was excited to watch this, but after finishing, realized that the story of The Notorious B.I.G has been told a thousand times. We've all heard about his mysterious death and what makes him and his music different. Although, this movie was still able to bring enjoyment to a very familiar story. Overall, Biggie: I Got A Story To Tell tells us a story well, but a story we've all heard before.

The occasional jumps out of the timeline made it a little confusing to follow at times. I get this was a doc more about his life than his death but there was so much left out in explaining the context between the west coast/Tupac beef.

Same, same. A much more interesting movie for Biggie fans to see is City of Lies, which was just released last weekend.

a testament to the character, personality and genuineness of New York's finest. A close up look, behind the scenes, into a person whose superhero-like alias is known so well by many.

A must watch. So good!

Interesante la historia de este personaje del hip-hop, pero se queda muy a medias en hablar sobre la realidad de Christopher George Latore Wallace, un hijo de inmigrante, afro y de pocos recursos económicos. Es una historia común en el mundo entero, no es nada nuevo, la importancia esta en la persona y eso es lo que no se aprovecha en el documental y termina mas siendo un tributo y nada mas.
