NO, NO, Notorious – Behind The Scenes Movie Footage: Video

In order to re-create the madness that went down at a Biggie concert, the cast and crew of “Notorious” made sure they got every little detail right, including the clothes, the hair and, most importantly, the vibe.

For the film’s performance footage, Tillman rounded up the usual suspects that one might have seen at a Biggie concert during the ’90s, including producers, DJs, managers and a cast of actors that looked uncannily like the people they are portraying.

The whole scene was approved by Biggie’s real-life right-hand man, Diddy, who showed up to give the movie mob his stamp of approval. “All of these actors up here did a great job,” he said, surprising the crowd from the stage at the Hammerstein Ballroom in New York.

“I felt like it was important to get it right, because a lot of people have not seen Big perform,” Tillman said. “Everyone came and brought it. Every moment was there on camera: the fun stuff, the great stuff.”
