Most of the time when a nigga is impersonating a bitch I call him bitch ass nigga, or homo nigga, or weezy.

Co-Sign. He favors Big, but it takes more than just looking like someone. I'll take the good actor over the lookalike every time. Remember Malcom X? Denzel looks nothing like him but did an outstanding job making that role believable. I'm curious how Pac will be depicted too. I hope he isn't just the antagonist/villain. He was so much more than that. Maybe this will spawn his feature film as well.

It’s about time you Bum Niggaz got on some “Dirty Money” Gravy is better then ¾ of your known MC’s. Let’s hope they let him drop a few of his joints for the soundtrack.
Can’t wait for this Movie, Best cast work in my opinion,…who the fuck wanted Sean Kingston as B.I.G? I sure didn’t,..

they shoulda got Guerilla Black...

Dude looks/Sounds like BIG..

Plus he got rap ability so...

But at the end of the day they had to go with a REAL ACTOR, rather than some ROOKIE who LOOKS like BIG...
This is supposed to be BIG, so who wanna see some BAD as in BAD as ACTING...????

But guerilla woulda fit the looks like, sounds like, rapper role well...

SKEAZALEO, I guess you never heard of Gravy, c’mon B, the man can spit, he has that BK swagger that no actor in the world can truly portrait. Remember Gorilla Black auditioned for the part too, they tested them by their acting & flowing abilities, So what ever the director, producers & Mama Wallace saw was Crack…I don’t know about acting, but when it comes to spiting, I know Gravy slobbers heavy on tracks.
His movement is called ‘dirty money’; like I said it’s about time the world got blessed with this mans skills.
After this movie he will establish a fan base & hopefully Drop an album & move a few Units.

As far as the soundtrack go, I think it will mostly be original tracks, they will use a Few of BIGs classic joints (juicy etc) then a few songs from that area, & finally some new shit. They won’t go that Biggie duet rout, I have a feeling Mama Wallace will try & keep Diddy away from this project as much as she can. She will get that Gwap Solo for ounce

I figured it would be Gravy or Guerilla Black. Both them muthafuckas need the money, that's for sure. That soundtrack better be nothin but fire.

i hope for the love of christ {for the love of b.i.g}they get this shit right.who is gravy anyways. big's swagger was ridiculous, beanie sigel wanted the part and i don't even think he could've held it down and that was my dude. gravy better not fuck up.

i'll say it from now, they can't make a movie about big, their not gonna get it right- big was cut from a whole different cloth.
