Bored. Broke. Can’t deal with playoff football (sorry Eagles fans, as of this writing). Check out the documentary Biggie and Tupac, which is available for free below.

Here’s a description:

BIGGIE & TUPAC documents the rap superstars, Tupac Shakur and Christopher Wallace (aka Biggie Smalls, The Notorious B.I.G.), and how they were gunned down in separate incidents, the apparent victims of hip hop’s infamous east-west rivalry. Nick Broomfield’s film introduces Russell Poole, an ex-cop with damning evidence that suggests the LAPD deliberately fumbled the case to conceal connections between the police, LA gangs and Death Row Records, the label run by feared rap mogul Marion “Suge” Knight.

I watched it. I thought it was pretty good, liked how there's little bits of light shining inside the mundane. Wrote to my brother, he'd already seen it. Discussed when we went to see Notorious in the theatre. Asked him to resend me the Mr. Vegas SuckyDucky back that I lost in the y10k mishap...he sent me some Jay Electronica and all is well again in tha world.

Nick Broomfield is a complete mental case. He lies his way into an interview. With Suge Knight. In a prison yard. Just starts asking him shit.

That pretty much out-gangsta's everybody else in the film.

Still, I don't think much of his documentaries.

Also, that Notorious film was indeed atrocious. Biggie's life was so dull that they had to make up all of that nonsense about him being a crack dealer. A wasted opportunity. If you're going to make shit up you might as well go hog wild and have him be a mad scientist or battling robots or maybe even a Biggie vs. Predator spin off.

Tupac's life, on the other, provides far more interesting fodder for a potential film. His mother - a former Black Panther - was pregnant with him in jail, they moved all over the United States, Tupac took ballet lessons.... Make that movie and my money says it would be better than Step Right Up and Honey combined.

Now, if you'll excuse me, I need to go dance my way out these motherfuckin' streets.

I killed them both. Take me into custody before I kill again. Jay-Z's new album is AWWWWESOOOME!

Posted by: superasente at January 10, 2010 12:23 PM

jay-Z's new album makes me want to remove my pants and never put them back on again.

empire state of mind is SOOOOOO GOOOOOOOOOD. and i can't say i've ever been one to slobber all over alicia keyes' nuts, but hot damn. the hook to that song make me want to... er... i guess take off my pants some more.

plus she was sassy on the colbert report when stephen rapped with her.

so... you know... further pants removal.

Sorry, Jay's album is good? Did we listen to different albums?

Posted by: Brenton at January 10, 2010 1:01 PM

mayhaps. no accountin' for (my) taste, i reckon.

Posted by: stopthemadness at January 10, 2010 4:14 PM

ha- yep Notorious the movie was pretty weak tea for sure, but I always felt that the real Biggie was a very compelling performer...he did win me with action if not content. Tupac had the sads, I didn't get drawn in. Anyways, yeah - it's olden news, and maybe it all went down as this guy suggested...this was really just a film for Biggie's mom if you ask me. But I admired how the failures in the interviewer's process were presented in the exact same way as when he went waltzing into the prison to chat with the guy he outright accuses of murder. No fake 'glory' in it, very even tone, which was nice.

i just realized i more or less echoed bslim's comment.

no one ever said i was quick on the uptake.

Agreed, very well written and can't wait for the second half.
