    Clad in maroon and white gowns, tassels swaying with each step as they processed into view Sunday at the Hampton University Convocation Center, members of the Class of 2009 did not look like roses growing in inhospitable concrete. But class president...

  2. 'Notorious,' the Biggie Smalls biopic

    'Notorious" is an interesting story about a smart Brooklyn teen, Christopher "Biggie" Wallace, who becomes a drug dealer and eventually a superstar rapper. That would be good enough, except the real-life story of rapper The Notorious B.I.G. is far more compelling than this movie, and the slain star's fans all know it.

  5. Get hip; this is life, y'all

    Echo Park resident Joseph Lee doesn't necessarily look like the leader of a musical movement. Blanketed in thug-like tattoos, a menacing goatee and often photographed in bandanna and Tupac Shakur tee, Lee could easily pass for a long-lost member of Cypress Hill. Yet under the sobriquet Deadlee, Lee is arguably Los Angeles' most prominent gay rapper, having helped organized the first national "homo-hop tour."

  11. Review: 'Notorious'

    There are many things that can be said about Biggie Smalls, the rapper officially known as the Notorious B.I.G., who was gunned down in a hail of bullets on Wilshire Boulevard in 1997 when he was just 24. But the one that fits best on his massive frame is a slight one: flow. <b>&#182;</b> Flow was there in his rhymes, a hypnotic seduction of words weaving and teasing around you like the perpetual haze trailing from his blunts. It was there in the deep rumble of his voice, in the slow, liquid roll of his body as he moved. And it is there in Jamal Woolard, the young rapper who plays him in &quot;Notorious," a performance that goes a long way toward saving a movie that has fallen obsessively in love with its subject. <b>&#182;</b> Mad, blind love is always a hazard in films that fashion themselves as biographies. No detail of a life too small, no moment left behind. In "Notorious," director George Tillman Jr. and screenwriters Reggie Rock Bythewood and Cheo Hodari Coker have fallen right into the pit alongside so many who have come before them.
