Notorious & The Grammy's

So last weekend, I finally got a chance to go see Notorious. Biggie has always been one of my top 5 favorite mc's since I got into hip-hop, and I have seen countless documentaries about the man. Notorious was just a mediocre, glitzed out one. But fuck what I gotta say and check the review at okayplayer, exactly what I thought about the movie. It wasn't necessarily disappointing because I expected most of it commin' in, but it was too hyped.



In other word's, the muafuckas over at the Grammys fucked the best artists over...again. After bein' introduced in '96, the Grammys have fucked up too many hip-hop greats. And to no surprise, Weezy ran over everyone winning every hip-hop category he was in, except for "Best Rap/Sung Collaboration", which went to Estelle & 'Ye. Check out the rest.
