In the  BP forum “I Saw ‘Notorious’ Yesterday…” members share there experiences since the movie’s premiere last Friday. Tell us how you liked the movie here.

After threatening to “expose” the ex-wife and mother of the late Notorious Big, the Queen Bee has released a statement about the way she was portrayed in the film.

“The film studio and producers involved were more concerned about painting me as a ‘character’ to create a more interesting story line instead of a person with talent, self-respect and who was able to achieve her own career success through hard work,” the rapper said.

“Even though my relationship with Big was at times very difficult and complicated (as with most relationships we have all experienced at one time or another), it was also genuine and built on great admiration and love for each other. Regardless of the many lies in the movie and false portrayal of me to help carry a story line through, I will still continue to carry his legacy through my hard work and music.”

Reggie Rock Bythewood, one of the writers for the movie, responded to growing controversy surrounding the movie as well, saying he reached out to Kim while the final script was written. Ultimately, Bythewood says Kim severed ties before the final script was completed. However, he maintains that the on screen portrayal of Kim was fair.

According to Hiphopdx, the soundtrack to the up-coming Notorious Film will feature unreleased demos from the Notorious B.I.G.’s pre-Bad Boy days.

Wayne Barrow, producer of Notorious, found the demo recordings and will be using them in the film.

“We kept everything as is, in its raw form,” Barrow said. “This is what got him the deal, plain and simple. His fans have been asking for it for years.”

In related news, producer Easy Mo Bee, who recorded many of Biggie’s early songs including “Party & Bullshit,” as well as a bulk of his debut, Ready to Die, will not be scoring any of the film.

“Mysteriously, the film was wrapped up and didn’t include me,” Mo Bee told The Urban Daily. “I had a consultant who was closely in touch with the film and with Bad Boy and for some reason, without any contact, they wrapped up the film and moved on without me. Actually, I’m kind of hurt by it because I’m the initial producer that B.I.G. started with. I’m the building block to the sound of Biggie.”

There is no word at press time as to whether the demos being used were produced by Easy Mo Bee.
