Biggie: I got a story to tell about where Notorious BIG came from

Famous rapper Notorious BIG is revealed in the trailer for Netflix’s new documentary, Biggie: I Got a Story to Tell.

This program is made up of rarely seen footage filmed by Biggie’s best friend Damion “D-Roc” Butler, including new interviews with his family and friends.

The late rapper, born Christopher Wallace, was shot and killed in a firefight in March 1997, at just 24 years old.

The trailer begins with candid pictures of the rapper, as he explains, ‘That was all it was. That was all. There was a dream. ‘

Rare photos taken in 1995 show Biggie shaking with an electric razor, with Butler explaining, ‘My boy gets three hairs, he gets anxious. ‘

Biggie explains that he can’t ‘look like I’m 21. Gotta keeps those 18’s feeling’ while laughing for the camera in a hotel room.

Biggie’s mother, Voletta Wallace, explains that her son, ‘a very clever child,’ adds that he started writing as early as elementary school.

Another unknown man says he was trying to connect Chris to become a jazz artist because he was so talented. ‘

Another unidentified man said that Wallace would return from Jamaica every summer, and that he was a sponge to so much that was outside our remit. ‘

Another friend said that Wallace just wanted to get himself and all his friends, ‘off the streets,’ while we see early pictures of Biggie rapping on the streets.

His mother told him that he had not worked, and she believed him, when he began dealing drugs.

Diddy said he told Biggie that if he wanted to rap, he had to ‘promise’ it, saying, ‘you can’t do both,’ meaning he still can’t sell drugs and start a rap career.

Voletta said Biggie was, ‘disrespecting my house,’ saying, ‘that wasn’t my son,’ but soon enough, his rap career began and he immediately became a star.

‘Biggie blew up overnight. You have no origin for where this rap planet came from, ‘said Diddy.

‘I was glad he was doing something with his life,’ Voletta said, while another friend added to Big, ‘a gift of talent that saved many people’s lives but his. ‘

The trailer goes down with a number of candid photos featuring one of Biggie in the studio saying, ‘We’re just doing our thing forever. Forever and ever. ‘

The documentary will air on Netflix on March 1, just months ahead of what would have turned 50 in May.

It was announced last month that Notorious BIG will be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame this year.
