Overall a Solid Doc

Overall I got a story to tell is a fairly solid doc that shows the real man, family, and friends behind Biggie. At times the shots can jump over the place and sometimes the story doesn't flow the best, but the story has a lot of heart to it, and it a good watch for any fan of 90s rap.

New stuff? Not really. Good stuff? Hell ya

The interviews are great and you realize he is still the goat after all these years. That era was gritty and angry and honest and it was refreshing. Rap now is very commercialized in general...kinda made me realize how much rap helped form who I am today...the confidence rubbed off and of that I'm grateful. Honestly this is more than worth a watch....the interviews and backstory is pretty illuminating

Some slight propoganda

Lack of balance. But especially didnt like the glamorous light this posed of Pudd Daddy/ P diddy. The man known to be behind certain nefarious crimes and both suspects and witnesses have claimed was behind the murder of Tupac.

Decent

This shares some never-before-seen footage, from his younger days, much before he became famous. If you know about Biggie, you pretty much know everything but just that this was told from a different perspective. I didn't know know that he had his roots from Jamaica. There's not much about 'pac so you won't enjoy this if that's what you're expecting. Worth a watch, only about 1.5 hours.

Trip down memory lane

I grew up in a small town north of Amsterdam, the Netherlands and we even listened to the album Ready to Die and his music back in the early 90s . Biggie's music was far reaching, even to small hoods around the world. As a fan and not from the US, seeing the raw footage of him and how he came to be was just eye-opening!

So, if you grew up in the 90s and listened to his music, this docu about Biggie is a MUST see!
