Notorious is on the big screen, and everyone in the shadow of the late rapper is starting to speak out. Well, at least Lil Kim is—who allegedly hasn't even seen the movie (but read an early script). She said in a statement: "The film studio and producers involved were more concerned about painting me as a 'character' to create a more interesting story line. 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." She also said in an interview that she "believed Big's wife, Faith Evans, and his mother, Voletta Wallace, were behind the snub." In return, Biggie's mom declared: "This is not a Lil Kim movie. This is a Christopher Wallace movie. It has nothing to do with Lil Kim. If she's disappointed and upset, that is her problem." The AP has video from the film, and talks to some of the people involved.

It's been over a year since the casting took place for the Notorious B.I.G. movie, aptly called Notorious (much of it was filmed in Biggie's home borough of Brooklyn), and now the biopic is about to hit the big screen. Rolling Stone has the details on the soundtrack, and you can catch the movie yourself in theaters starting January 16th (the New York premiere was last night). Watch the trailer after the jump (listen up for this quote: "What kind of grown-ass man calls himself Puffy?").
