was ahead of his time / Him and Raekwon my niggas / But dig it / They couldn’t get along / That’s when Ghostface set it on the purple tape / Bad Boy biting Nas album cover wait / B.I.G. Nas-whose debut also featured artwork of him as an infant-addressed the issue on the song “Last Real Nigga Alive” saying the following: The album cover sparked a small feud between Notorious B.I.G., Raekwon and Ghostface Killah, who initially felt Ready To Die copied the artwork from Nas’ Illmatic. Ready To Die went on to sell 3.3 million copies, and Yearwood even became the subject of other emcees rhymes who referenced Biggie’s debut. Later, Combs would reveal to that the baby on the cover did indeed come from a casting agency. himself and Sean Combs shot down those rumors. “Now, of course, it’s a big deal to me,”ĭuring the initial years after the album was released, many speculated that the infant on the cover was indeed the Notorious B.I.G. “When I first found out about it, it wasn’t a big deal to me,” Yearwood told the Daily News. People always wondered who the infant on the cover of Notorious B.I.G.’s Ready To Die album cover was, and the New York Daily News tracked down the now 18-year-old Yearwood to get the back-story on how he ended up as a part of Hip Hop lore. I still loved it and the music in it.For over a decade, Keithroy Yearwood has been the unknown subject of Hip Hop trivia. So probably 15 minutes into the movie I pretty much knew what would happen next. It was very predictable because I already knew he sold drugs, he went to jail, then got discovered by puffy, he blew up, then he died.

It wasn't one thing in the movie that left anything to the imagination. Nothing surprised me about it, because everything in the movie we already knew. I was disappointed about one thing and that was the drama aspect.

I really enjoyed the movie and it brought me back to those great times in college when I was hooping for Suny Farmingdale. When the faith character sung 'I remember' I couldn't believe how great she sang, and it didn't look like she was lip sycn-ing at all. The voice, build and complexion was spot on. The biggie character played by gravy was also on point as well. When she performed in that lacey outfit towards the end you wouldn't be able to tell the difference between her and kim. According to Naturi Naughton who played the role of little kim she never rapped before but you couldn't tell the way she flowed. The little kim character was on point even the way she spit those lyrics in the bedroom. The actors/actress in it resembled each person in everyway possible.
