Undrcrwn has just sent over this image of their new "There Can Only Be One" exclusive tee featuring B.I.G. and Tupac. The name and split face are of course in direct reference to the NBA's current "There Can Only Be One" play offs campaign shown here. No word yet on when this will be available but I'm assuming it's pretty soon...hopefully before the Lakers win the Championships this year.
I feel like I'm running the unofficial Notorious blog here with all the updates about this movie...but I'm very intrigued with it so bare with me. This time former Biggy manager and current producer of Notorious Wayne Barrow answers some questions about the movie.
Entertainment Weekly has just released this official First Look photo straight from the set of the Biggy biopic Notorious. Derek Luke is shown here in all white as a young Diddy while Jamal Woolard AKA Gravy is sitting on his throne as Biggy.
In a recent interview, Diddy told MTV that he fully approves of the casting decisions from the Biggy biopic Notorious. "People asked me years ago who you'd want to play me, and I said Derek
Luke ... I got to see him do his thing, and it
was scary for me. I had to leave, 'cause he was acting just like me." And what does Diddy think of Gravy as Biggy? "Gravy's killing it. If I tell you he's killing it, then that's all we
need to say..."
Wayne Barrow, former manager of B.I.G. and current producer of Notorious introduces the cast and crew to the movie in his latest video diary. Wayne will be providing updates on his blog site up until the release of the film.
Before the Bentleys and Rolls Royce Phantoms, Diddy drove a red BMW 3 series during his early hey-days. And of course only Diddy would have a license plate that reads "MONEY." This photo was taken from the set of Notorious where Diddy who is exec-producing got to re-live his past with this similar model car for the movie. Those close to the film know that Diddy, played by Derek Luke, has a major role as Notorious is almost part of Diddy's own story of making it big as well. Via: NahRight & Animal
These pics from the Notorious set are taken from the part of the film when Biggy (Gravy - left) and Diddy (Derek Luke - right) are performing in 1995 at the Georgia Dome. DJ Enuff (middle) helped recreate the moment which apparently included wearing really shiny shirts. More pics after the jump...

His name is Sean Ringgold, star of the soap opera "One Life To Live." So how could a soap star be cast as Suge Knight, one of the most ruthless and imposing men in all of hip-hop you ask? Well I forgot to mention that Sean stands over 6'4", dabbles in personal security for celebs and has won the New York State Arm Wrestling Championship three times in a row...in both the right arm and left arm divisions. He also has a beard and wears sunglasses...PERFECT FIT. While Sean is younger, Notorious features Suge from the 90's era so it could work. All he needs is the cigar.
Wayne Barrow, former manager of The Notorious B.I.G. and current producer of the Biggy biopic Notorious has started a blog at notoriousblog.net that covers the details and behind-the-scenes filming info. Make sure to check out the blog for regular updates.
