"Notorious" hits theaters today. I had the pleasure to interview much of the cast including Naturi Naughton, Antonique Smith, Derek Luke, Anthonie Mackie and Biggie's mom Mrs. Wallace before Christmas and man, oh man, was it an unforgettable feeling.

He could have thrown it away as soon as he walked out the room with his beautiful wife, but it was the first time a celebrity I interviewed seemed really interested in the final piece and that I had asked interesting questions they hadn't heard ten times before.
The movie definitely took me back and so nostalgic for 90s Bad Boy
I went to see the movie the day it came out. They all did a good job. By the way, your blog design is hot!
