What is there not to understand? At what point do I not get it? I grew up with rap, before there was the corporate sponsored commoditized gangsta rap. I grew up in the Bronx. I've watched crack dealers poison and kill people in my community. And I have watched gangsta rappers promote violence, drugs, and abuse of women. What more does the movie project than these issues?<BR/><BR/>You liked the

Wow! What a hater. Actually the movie was pretty good. But I don't think everyone would understand. Some people are so narrow minded these days.

lilkunta, <BR/><BR/>I thought I made it quite clear why I don't like the subject of this film.<BR/><BR/>Second, please please do not write in whatever type of shorthand you have used for your comment. I find it difficult to understand exactly what you are trying to say. English is not that difficult.<BR/><BR/>As for January movies, in general this is the month that the worst films of the year are

MVass: Y do u think this movie is crap?<BR/>Is Jan typically when movies that rnt expected 2 do well r released?<BR/>Well it came out on F16 Jan. I thought it would do well as this was a long wken but it was #4 earning $21mill. How much did the mvie cost 2 make? If it cost $10mill then they&#39;ve already made profit.<BR/><BR/>Yes Biggie was a a drug dealer. He knew it was wrong &amp; stopped

Samantha, <BR/><BR/>I respect your opinion, but as you can tell I do not share it. His music, and style, are based in the destruction of youth in America, especially those that are poor and/or Black. He helped to glorify a quality of life that only criminals and sell-outs enjoy.<BR/><BR/>Wallace is an example of what is wrong with the nation right now. Violence and ignorance are considered

Ignorance, <BR/><BR/>I wouldn't watch that movie if I was paid to do so. Anything that promotes this movie in any manner gives power to imitation and validation to the wasted life Wallace lived.<BR/><BR/>I will not do anything to benefit the violence, drugs, and abuse of women that this lifestyle and movie promote. <BR/><BR/>The utter failure of this movie would be the best thing to happen to the

Anonymous,<BR/>I think that is an extreme view about the clothing. And I don't take the clothing as important.<BR/><BR/>It's the glorification of violence and money made from poisoning people that is the problem. If most youth put as much energy into gaining an education as trying to emulate the pitiful lives of these rappers they would be far better off.<BR/><BR/>And I enjoy disagreement with my

I'm a fan of BIG myself. But I could tell right away when I saw the trailor that the movie was going to suck. And I thought to myself "they're going to ruin what could be a great opportunity to make a BUNCH of money off this"... people would eat it up if it was made as good as it's potential. I havn't heard the rating... and I honestly don't really know his story. I love his music, his style.

yeah, you have some great points, but people are drawn to anything that depicts violence and real life scenarios, i probably will watch it, but i wouldnt pay to see it, how about you?

I don't always agree with you, heck most of the time I find some fault in what you say but this time... you were right on the money!! <BR/><BR/>It's sad that young people glorify this life style. Money has much if not all to do with it. Most of these young folk see this "gangsta" life style as a way out. Don't get me wrong, I don't excuse them but I think I understand them...alittle.<BR/><BR
