Surprisingly And Notoriously Good

One of the most important factors in a relationship is compromise, and during a recent outing with my best friend and our boyfriends, we had to compromise on a movie choice. Surprisingly, the compromise ended in an equally liked experience from all of us with the guys' movie choice.

I'm usually not the type to like hardcore hip-hip legend movies, but I have to admit that this movie surprised me. Notorious is the story of legendary rapper Christopher Wallace, most commonly known as Notorious BIG, and his rise to fame.

With all the sex, drugs and violence surrounding music, I did not expect for this movie to be as insightful and thought-provoking as it was. Although there were brief scenes of all the negativity previously named surrounding hip-hop music, the movie offered a very heart-felt plot, and it showed that every person, no matter from what background has a story to tell.

Notorious BIG grew up in Brooklyn New York, and quickly got involved with the negative activities of his neighborhood. However, the movie tells how Biggie turns his mistakes and misfortunes into learning experiences, and follows his dreams to become the legend he remains today, even after his death.

This movie is a great date movie, but ladies I'll have to say your guy may enjoy this one a little more than you, but you'll be intrigued none the less. But like I said before, compromise is a good thing, not just in making a movie choice...if you know what I mean.
