Tuesday we posted the Kanye West-produced track, 'Brooklyn Go Hard,' with Jay-Z, featuring Santogold, from the upcoming 'Notorious' soundtrack, and now, we've just learned that the album will feature a surprise guest: Notorious B.I.G's 12-year-old son, Christopher "CJ" Wallace.CJ joins Jay, Jadakiss and Faith Evans on the soundtrack, that film producer Wayne Barrow has confirmed will also feature three previously unreleased Biggie Demos. "We kept everything as is, in its raw form. This is what got him the [recording] deal, plain and simple. His fans have been asking for it for years...It's incredible stuff," Director George Tillman Jr. explained in a recent interview.
As for young CJ's involvement with the project, Big's son will appear on a remix of his big papa's classic 'One More Chance,' which has been described as "emotional," so we can only guess what that means.

3. 'Notorious'
4. 'Juicy'
5. 'Party & Bulls---'

Can we stop tossing the word tragic around like it has no meaning? Gang banging rapper gets shot to death, that's not tragic, that's expected. A firefighter gets shot while trying to save someone, that's tragic.

This young boy is growing up without his father. It is a tragedy. There's no need to compare the two scenarios. Both are tragic, both are criminal, both are sad. If you don't care about Biggie getting murdered then just say so. You're entitled to feel that way. But let's not try to one-up each scenario with an even sadder one. It takes nothing away from the fact that this child is fatherless and his dad was murdered in cold blood.

I'll be open to say that, frankly, the 'tragedy' lies in the fact that this 12 year old boys father didn't care enough about his son, family or friends by deciding to live the lifestyle he did. We all have choices and we know right from wrong and we know that there are steps we can take to help take us out of harms way. As with Tupac, I didn't feel a bit of shock when either one was gunned down, because they set themselves up for 'tragedy' by living the 'gang-banging' lifestyle.
Now, I'm sure there will people who will comment that they didn't 'know any other lifestyle', but I can say that, like myself, we can all recognize what it takes to make a change. Obviously, Biggie didn't care enough about the people around him, let alone himself, to make that change.

Anyone dying is tragic. Death no matter what the recipient's occupation is tragic. And by the way, death is an expected part of anyone's life, and it still is tragic.
nempls2at 12-07-2008
So a firefighter being burnt to death isn't tragic? A police officer being shot to death isn't tragic? A fisherman drowning to death isn't tragic? A US Soldier is killed in Action that isn't tragic?
These are also many things that are expected, so since its expected it makes it non-tragic?
Also non of us on here know what was going on or who killed him, people can only draw conclusions, plausible or not, non of them are 100% sure. For all you know he no longer was a gang banger, maybe he told some crazy ass people to fuck off after they swerved at his truck, getting upset the angry people shot him to death due to road rage, people get shot at due to road rage all the time.
I'm not religious at all yet still feel like killing someone under almost "ALL" circumstances is wrong!!!
I hope you don't claim to be religious either, because your comment is far from it.
If you don't like it, then don't watch the movie or buy his CD's thats it. You crying about it here isn't going to change anything, or do you just feel like making people upset for your own pleasure? If thats the case you should get outside, maybe go for a walk or something, call a friend if you have any, hang out with them, stop sitting in front of the computer all day.
(That was just a what if statement)
Anyway, I don't know you or what you stand for, my point is you have no idea what happened and no matter who he was his death can be considered tragic to the rap industry and maybe, just possibly his family, oh and his Millions and Millions of fans.
Sure at one point in his life he was just some punk ass gang banger. People change and obviously he didn't want to live that way anymore, he was trying.
He obviously did something right tho, I don't see millions of people following you.

sure thing nemples. Most of the people posted on here have agreed with me so far. And all you said had nothing to do with anything I said. IT WASN'T TRAGIC. If someone asked me to guess how he was going to die before he died, I woulda said obesity related illness, or murder. Who or what the circumstances around him getting shot is a moot point because he was, in fact, shot, which was unsurprising to everyone. It was not tragic. And no I am an atheist, and you have not made one single point to prove anything other than you have no clue how to take part in an intelligent conversation. Like, maybe read everything I said before you start popping off about how wrong I am.
sipiony2at 12-07-2008
cold blood? who's to say it isn't retaliation for his evil doings? It's not tragic when someone who leads that life dies that way. If you think it is just because that little boy, (who let's face facts, is better off without his criminal, drug dealer, accomplice to murder father), no longer has a dad you need to look up the definition of tragic. Is he so much worse off than say, Suge KNight's kids? I think not. Sorry my heart doesn't bleed like yours.
jraquelwordat 12-07-2008
I agree. Suge is just as big of a lowlife and he is the one that drug biggie and tupac into that life, and killed them there (I believe that theory). I do think that the only tragedy is that the men weren't smart enough to see that they were being played. Suge had everyone where they wanted them and made major money off of both of their deaths. It is sad that the child grew up without a father but thats not to say he can never have a daddy. Any man can be a father (and obviously any man was) but it takes a real man to be a daddy (which obviously he wasn't). I feel for little CJ, but neither tupacs or biggies deaths were tragic, they were untimely (in the sense they didn't live very long lives) but not tragic, although it is tragic that the mothers of these men had to worry day in and day out about whether their children would live another day. Thats tragedy.
sipiony2at 12-07-2008
I'll buy that sweetcujo9. He didn't care about his son enough to change his life, and that is sad for him. Tragic is iffy, sad is a given. I think if there is a tragedy in Biggie's life story it would be the hundreds of thousands of kids that went and picked up guns due to his glorification of that life style. And anyone can make the argument that those kids are stupid, or are products of their society, but that's wrong. I live in a predominately white, wealthy town, one of the wealthiest in MA, and that's saying something, and there are 16-25 yr. old wihite kids running around with guns. This isn't Brick City. There is no need for it. One in particular was my best friend growing up and I can absolutely say that if it weren't for the glorification of gang banging directly from Biggie Smalls and Tupac Shakur he'd still be alive today.
bobbondoo7at 12-07-2008
well I feel bad for a human being is dead having sad that, The life that young man leads from now on will tell if that man(his father)died in vain or not BIG chose that life for himself let's hope the young boy makes a wiser choice and leave it as a lesson learned
mopargod71at 12-07-2008
just another trouble maker anyways!!
sipiony2at 12-07-2008
blakwidowbambi tragedy? or occupational hazard? That's all I'm saying.
sipiony2at 12-07-2008
also, how tragic was it when Hitler died?
xxclipperat 12-07-2008
Dealing drugs is not an occupation -it's a criminal activity. Enough romanticizing gangster criminals!!
sipiony2at 12-07-2008
do drug dealers make a living? I agree with the romanticizing criminal behavior, but if someone sells drugs for a living than that's their occupation.
