Chris Rock clarified Biggie and Tupac's killings by stating they weren't assasinations so much as two brothers getting shot. Martyrs? Heroes? Glorified gangsters with the gift of gab?
However you peg them they changed the Rap game forever. Biggie's legacy lives on and will continue to do so with the makings of a biopic in the works.
From Urb.com:
"The Playlist reports that the search for Big Poppa is over. Mr. Jamal Woolard AKA Brooklyn rapper, Gravy, shall play Biggie Smalls in the biographical film to be released by Fox Searchlight. The flick shall also feature Derek Luke as Puffy (he was indeed called Puffy back then), Anthony Mackie shall play 2Pac and Angela Bassett shall play the lovely Voletta Wallace, Biggie's momma.The Playlist reports that the search for Big Poppa is over.

I wanna know if they're getting the guy from Green Mile and Daredevil (Michael Clarke Duncan) to play Suge Knight.
