Six Albums to Get Excited About in 2009

By Austin L. Ray at 7:00 AM on January 17, 2009

When I wrote my Five Movies to Get Excited About in 2009 list a couple weeks ago, ostensibly, I was providing a reader service. But really, I was getting as pumped up about those movies as anyone reading that post. In fact, I'm listening to Ready to Die right now, looking forward to taking in a showing of Notorious this weekend. Looking forward to stuff is fun, and it makes actually experiencing said stuff just that much more awesome (or, alternately, disappointing).Editing the news section of PasteMagazine.com also gets me hyped about forthcoming albums on a daily basis. From big...  read more

Christopher Wallace, loved and hated by many as the Notorious B.I.G., is one such icon. A biopic on his life is due out next week, so naturally there's a soundtrack to go with it. ...  read more

By Austin L. Ray at 7:00 AM on January 3, 2009

After watching Slumdog Millionaire the other evening (which I enjoyed a good bit, though not as much as seemingly everyone else in the world), I got to thinking about all the great films coming our way in the new year and decided a list was in order.

Watch the trailer for Nortorious

By Jeffrey Bloomer at 6:00 PM on September 25, 2008

A film on the life of the Notorious B.I.G. seems alternatively like a no-brainer and doomed before it’s even released. Judging from the brief, new teaser trailer for Notorious, the first fiction film about the rapper since his 1997 murder, it looks to be a little of both. The heavy-handed trailer fuses faux-hip-hop-video tropes with an apparently affectionate portrait of the late star. ...  read more
