15 Jan NOTORIOUS ‘an essaysandthings’ Q & A w/ Director George Tillman Jr.
By Lisa Ellis
I thoroughly dig The Notorious B.I.G. He is clearly one of the best to ever touch the mic. He’s a story teller, an icon. What other rappers struggle to do came easy to BIG. It’s been 12 years since Biggie was ripped away from us. While Hip- Hop is the hottest genre of music today, Big’s absence has forever bent its structure. I caught up with George Tillman Jr. the other day. We chatted a bit about his experience directing the film NOTORIOUS and his thoughts on Christopher Wallace, the man, the rapper.
LBE: First of all thank you so much for calling. I know that you’re crazy busy promoting the film. So I truly appreciate you taking the time to speak with me. I have a few questions. First of all I want to tell you that I LOVE BIG!
GT: No problem. No problem.
LBE: Biggie’s death is still a hot topic, still an open investigation. How difficult was it gathering information about the film?
