Compared to " 8 Mile ", " Untitled 50 Cent Project " and other rap-themed movies, "Notorious" has a more mesmerizing atmosphere. Between Notorious BIG’s "inner stage" self-report and the exciting scenes of singing, behind his splendid and short career is the helplessness and insignificance of a poor boy from the bottom of society in the torrent of fate. And Huacai's efforts are just like the dream he said in the voice-over-just want to live a better life with his wife. The tone of the whole film is sluggish and heavy. It is an unforgettable impression of the social environment rooted in Notorious BIG and even Hip-Hop music. Accompanied by the protagonist’s rap and gorgeous editing, he played a maddening, high-pitched spiritual song. It is also the same as the album title of Notorious BIG, it is "Ready to Die"-he and his group's depression and passion, helplessness and unwillingness, sinking and resistance, are all in it.

Voletta Wallace: [voiceover / last lines] My son, Christopher Wallace, told stories. Some of them were funny, some of them were sad, some of them were violent, but people listened. I'm saddened that his life was cut down at the age of 24... but I find solace in knowing that he became a man, and he was ready to live. As I looked out at all those faces; something happened. Someone in the crowd turned on their radio, and I could hear my son's voice!
