Voletta Wallace and Jay Z

Look at Jay-Z with his arm around Biggie’s mom, Voletta. She’s probably hoping they can hurry up and take the pic so he can get his geeky bookworm ass on somewhere. He’s f*cking up her groove. SMH

  • Stop the hating bossip!

    You hating Jay-z hard bossip!
    He doesn’t deserve that. Jay is great!
    BP3 is coming

  • http://bossip MC WTF

    dammmmm maurice.. PREACH shawty!!!

  • Stop hating

    You always hate the wrong people bossip!

  • http://bossip MC WTF

    yeah i dont know her but i already cant stand mother wallace..

  • boss

    maurice wtf are u talking about?
    just another goddamn HATER..

  • Aunt Viv

    His bookworm steez is worth hundreds of millions of dollars Bossip.

  • circa-81

    Maurice, you sound just as negative as you say Biggie was. B.I.G. is held as being a great MC, and I think people that are into him (me included) are intrigued by his lyrical prowess and not his deeds.

  • ahni

    k ima have to run wit maurice on dis one. kim do kinda try and look like faith and biggie did just degrade women and talk bout drugs. tellin kids the hood is a two way street they either got a hot jump shot or can rhyme otherwise they need to be peddlin drugs. wat kind of nonsense is that? what happened to education. doctors. lawyers. shit. even door to door appliance salesmen. anything.

  • Aunt Viv

    Wow @ Maurice. You’re going hard there, but I hear you.

  • Aunt Viv

    But Biggie was a talented lyricist.

  • http://bossip MC WTF

    yeah lyrical prowess saved his life.

  • shar

    @Maurice

    Wow.
    You are on a roll. However, wading through what you say and the expletives, people ignore certain deficiencies in someone whom they love etc. It would probably have been better if somebody more objective or unconconected to Big had made this movie.
    Jay-Z says he has been misogynistic in his lyrics in the past and expressed regret yet he still performs those songs? But how refreshing to read what you write.
    Lil’Kim went to jail for this industry (as she put it). How mad is that?
    Are you a bloke?

  • Maurice

    Was he talented? Yeah. Could he make up a clever rhyme? Yeah. But I will NEVER let that overshadow all of his faults. Because he has too many and they are too obvious and they have made too much of an impact. I feel SO much for Kim. SO MUCH. And I’m not even in her position. How in the hell would it feel to be a dark skinned woman and have light skinned women always up in your mans face macking on him and he just accepts it? Wow. And then to top things off he’s talking down on you. Wow. And this nigga gets PRAISED.

  • Maurice

    And Ahni I think they were saying I was going too hard on BIG. Not you.

  • http://signoftimes@msn.org mild sauce part of the sauce family tradition

    What is up with the nerdy look, Kanye, Jay z, and even Common and Pharrell have the urkel glasses going on!

  • MWNY

    Jay-Z looks like a slow-mo in those glasses. I still think he got owned when Nas ethered him.

  • ahni

    o either way. i cant stand this nigga either. why do black people always chose to idolize the scum? the drug dealers? the pimps? why not idolize the doctors. the lawyers.

  • PURPPLE

    Nas you really should consider being my jumpoff. Im just sayin……

  • http://bossip MC WTF

    its fun

  • http://Afo.net Britt

    Is that Puffy’s Mother or sister.
    @ GAmbit in May Give me knowledge and a black man who respects black women over some rap lyrics. Or lyrical ability.

  • PURPPLE

    Well Hitler was terrible but who can deny his tactics…..so whats ur point….

  • http://Afo.net Britt

    @ Maurice I agree with ya, And I noticed he is trying to be seen with black or dark women on his arm lately. He know his damn money come from the black community.

  • shar

    @ Maurice
    Here’s a quote for you:

    ESSENCE.COM: (Laughs.) Definitely. Is there something you discovered about your son and his legacy while watching the film?

    WALLACE: (Laughs.) I gained strength from it. There were things about him that I never knew that I wanted to see for myself on film. I saw a side of my son that I heard of but I haven’t accepted. I’m angered by certain things, disappointed and shocked. So this film taught me tolerance and to be less critical. I would love to speak to Lil’ Kim, because I need to ask more about this love relationship because I really didn’t like the way he treated her and I’m praying that that’s not it. Only she can answer those questions. She’s a sweet girl and I didn’t think she deserved to be treated the way he treated her, if that’s the case.

  • flawda

    LOL at yall acting like Lil Kim is a damn child, she is a a grown ass woman and is accountable for her actions. That’s the problem with you broads, you are always playing the victim like you had no role in the denegration of your self esteem. A nigga can’t make a woman do what she isnt willing to do to herself.

  • circa-81

    Who gives a f%ck about Lil’ Kim? If anything she is his female parallel. Also you can’t forget that Biggie was the vehicle leading to her few million dollar net worth. If you are going to state the facts that is a pretty big one to leave out.

    A man should not WANT to do that to a woman. That just shows the kind of person that man is on the inside. And how trifling of an upbringing he has has. Obviously men who do that to women were not raised right by their mothers. Their mothers were loose little hos that raised their sons to be like their dead beat daddies.

  • flawda

    Lil Kim new Biggie was married but the Dirty Foot still messed with a married man.

  • http://www.gravatar.com Re is excited to see GAMBIT in May. FINALLY!

    Is that Puffy’s Mother or sister.
    @ GAmbit in May Give me knowledge and a black man who respects black women over some rap lyrics. Or lyrical ability.
    _____________________________________________________

    Of COURSE you’d take a decent man over lyrics.

    The point is, his made a career out of rapping, and he had quite a way with words.

    I’m just pointing it out because people are stating that we’re all up in here praising WHO THE MAN Biggie really is…

    That’s not what we’re praising. I think the movie is garbage, and I won’t watch it. I’m well aware of his womanizing and deplorable way he used women. He’s not different from many other rappers or politicians people are out there praising.

  • circa-81

    @ Flawda

    That’s very true. You can’t blame somebody for doing something you let them do to you. She knew she could’ve walked but didn’t.

  • flawda

    Maurice you sound like a Captian Save a Hoe dude (i use the word dude lightly). You are seriously underestimating the power and strength of women and try to act like they are all innocentvictims.A man is gonna do what a woman allows him to do and you need to stop popping your girly mouth like you knew how any of these people grew up.

  • sickofitt

    Wow @ Maurice. I was not a fan of Biggie, but I would never say no heartless sh!t like that. To talk about Biggie’s mom the way you do, show that you don’t know her story and how she disliked the things her son was doing and rapping about. Also, this is a very educated woman. Biggie was raised up going to private school, until he got older and wanted to do something different. So, all the talk about growing up in the projects poor and broke was someone elses story he was rapping about. As for Lil Kim. If anyone could be affected by something a big fat azz cock eyed greese monkey had to say, then dammit they deserve whatever happens to them. Their is no way someone that looks like Biggie could say anything about me and it would affect me. The dude was black and ugly as fack (in his own words)He had cock eyes and he was tongue twisted. How could she even care about anything that came out of his mouth.

  • http://www.gravatar.com Re is excited to see GAMBIT in May. FINALLY!

    People are in love with Biggie the PERSONA.

    Christopher Wallace, on the other hand, is not what the movie is about. The movie is obviously going to point out Biggie’s strong points (rap) versus who he really is.

  • circa-81

    @ Maurice

    When people who are really into music they should be attracted to the lyricist’s, singer’s, or musician’s talent. Why would you waste your time being concerened with their lifestyle? That is a dangerzone when people become obsessed with the person which is heavily practiced in today’s pop culture.

  • The Official Mrs. Carter

    @ Maurice

    You sound bitter!! What happened did you ask that nigga for an autograph and he shitted on you?? I mean you talking about his lyrics but he was a gangsat hardcore rapper what did you expect? Or was it his relationship with Lil Kim that got your panties in a bunch? Were you hitting that and Big came through and scooped her from you? I just wanna know what your deal is. None of us (or at least I didnt) know him personally so all I have to go on is his music, what others report and this low budget ass movie so to say we’re praising the man is not true we’re only praising his talent and the mark he left on hip hop.

  • http://bossip MC WTF

    THIS MOVIE DOES LOOK SOOOO LOW BUDGET.. LMAO!!!!!!!!

  • http://www.gravatar.com Re is excited to see GAMBIT in May. FINALLY!

    I’m glad I’m not the only one annoyed with the unwarranted rants.

  • http://bossip MC WTF

    did anyone listen to the chic that played lil kim rapping get money????

  • circa-81

    @ Maurice

    Also mabye you need to pay more attention to american culture because it’s not just black people that are in love with the bad boy image; it’s the entire american culture that romaticize’s the criminal. Think about all the movies that have been dedicated and based upon the lives of several mafioso’s, drug dealer’s, robber’s, and killer’s. Hey, that last part rhymed. :-)

  • chaka1

    Those glasses are WHACK!!!!! Ugh…Makes him look even uglier and frightening…

  • Aunt Viv

    LOL @ flawda for “dirty foot”

  • circa-81

    @ Maurice

    Here’s something to think about…..I’m pretty sure your rant’s would’ve been received and responded to promptly by 6’4″ 300 + lb Biggie if you spoke that shit to him directly. I mean it is very cowardly to speak of someone in such a vicious way when there dead ya’ know. For example: Genghis Khan can suck my balls! See easy to say when they are dead and gone. Matter of fact he has plenty of imitators out in the industry today that are definitley guilty of the same thing that you accuse him of. You should approach them with the same ferocity and I’m sure you’ll love the repurcussions. Just let me know how that goes for ya’.

  • I love HOV

    I love Jay and his look is awesome!!!!
    MTO is hating on him, Bossip is hating on him…could you’all stop. Its so unfair to hate someone that has such a great personality like he has.

  • lala#1

    @ Maurice.. you are giving BIG way too much credit for Kimberly’s low self esteem. I think she was already going downhill long before she even met him.. People only do to us what we ALLOW them to do..simply WALK AWAY….

  • http://bos,sip.com toocute

    really wasn’t into bigs music,but i would like to see the movie,i know a little about his life story

  • sickofitt

    I can’t understand why people are so quick to talk bash dead folks as if their lives are so perfect. I remember when Pac died and people were calling into the radio station saying he deserved to die because of his lyrics and yada yada yada yada. These are the same folks that go to church every Sunday and claim to be hollier than thou. But, a true Christian would never speak such ill verbage against someone like that unless they are frauds themselves. Just remember Karma is a mofo. I once witness a dude snatch an obituary out of a murdered victim’s sister hand and stomp it and said to the sister f! your brother he deserved to die and not a full week had past before that dude was murdered for something totally unrelated. Talk about Karma.

  • Black Beauty

    Faith has a good looking family. I can’t believe how much her daughter looks like. Lil Biggie is a cutie pie. The guy playing Biggie, and Angela Bassett playing her, are huge step ups.

  • JK

    The way Lil Kim turned out is her own fault. No one can use you or degrade you unless you let them. You have to determine what is more important in life, and she made her choices, now she has to live with that. Can’t nobody make you be their mistress. As far as him degrading women, yes not all of his lyrics were “let’s save the world” however, he was way better and is still better than this shit that is out today. Pure classic.

  • Nubianqt

    Maurice – You sound like biggie took your money or girl let the man RIP as for lil kim nobody degraded her she degraded herself with her jacked up boobs job,wack ass hair and semi ok talent.

  • JK

    @sickofit
    _____________
    I totally agree. Death should not be wished upon people. People acting like he was a serial killer or something of that nature. He was just a rapper, and if you feel that he was influencing children of the community in a bad way, remember parents are suppose to influence and raise kids not rappers.

  • http://bossip AKEYS

    Yes I will be seeig this Movie Love Jay hate those Glasses

  • sickofitt

    I watched the VH1 story about Biggie a few years ago. During the show they would interview Ms. Wallace, she made it known that she did not condone Biggie’s lifestyle. She pretty much called him a Studio gangster because she said he was not raised that way. He was not the product of an underage welfare receipient. At the end of the show she brought tears to my eye when she said something about spending her first mother’s day without her son.

  • i’m getting old

    WOW has faith’s daughter grown! She’s a young lady now… Well, the first time I’ve seen her was in 1996 -she was like 2.

  • Manhattan

    I’m happily shocked to see Russel with a woman darker than him!

  • Don’t mind me

    Ha ha, he just looks worse and worse everytime I see him ha ha haaaaaaaaa

  • jamdown

    Maurice, I can agree with some of your comments on how he treated Little Kim but you can not blame a Mother for what her son does on the street. I doubt you were around during that time it was all about a culture. We as black people were still finding ourselves still didn’t know how to respect ourselves everything you see us accomplish today has come from growth and learning from our past mistakes.If Big were around today I’m sure he would have learned from his mistakes and probably would have made that change. Jay was that bastard back then as well he’s changed and grown from it. People like Dame never changed and that’s why he is where he is today. Puffy is another person who has changed and grown, remember Big was a very young man when he had his success.
    As for his music maybe you don’t understand but when big came out he basically saved hip hop as it was on a downward cycle almost like Disco it was waterdown bullshit! So maybe you really just were not part of the movement then but on the real Big saved hip hop at that time and his first album from start to finish was a classic and you knew this from the first time you heard it.
    Learn from other peoples mistakes don’t judge them for it or else you or someone you know will make the exact same mistakes.
    Remember Malcolm X was a gangsta and a thief before he was a Muslim!!

  • Yerr

    Maurice, I sooo dare you to come to BK and say all that shit you talking, specifically St. James and Fulton!!! Do it! Do it! Do it! If you listened to BIG’s lyrics, you would know that he too knew he was a piece of shit. Listen to Ready to Die. Just like Kim, Big had emotional problems as well. Let the dead rest okay. Whats done is done. Have respect for his children who read stuff like this.

  • DG

    Yall are terrible. Thats all I have to say.

  • bobbi

    i’m feeling maurice…except for the death and hell talk…. (clearing my throat)
    but, uh, Biggie was NOT a great lyricist. people, please stop repeating what you hear other people say and form a thought of your own for once. this man glorified drugs and violence and degraded women. what’s so great about that? i’m sorry that his kids have to grow up without a father but maybe they are better off…i’m just sayin.
    and like someone said earlier “PHUCK GAY-Z”…he a fag…an UGLY one at that!

  • circa-81

    Biggie was NOT a great lyricist. people, please stop repeating what you hear other people say and form a thought of your own for once. this man glorified drugs and violence and degraded women. what’s so great about that?
    ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
    So does all of american media. What’s your point? He was clever when it came to delivering the contents of what he glorified. Ya dig? That’s what made him one of the best and most lyrical MC’s of all time.

  • darealwifey

    BIG’s mother is really a classy lady. I believe that she did her best, but it is very hard for a single mother to control teenaged sons or grown sons. You cannot fault her for his choices because they were HIS choices.

    He was not without his faults, but his life story should be interesting, and his music was good. The content might have been rough, but he was very talented.

    I guess next year they’ll be rockin hearing aids, braces or rolling around in wheelchairs.

    Get the fk.

    As for Biggie…Big, nasty, disrespectful. Only rhymed about Versace, sex, money, cars & degrading people.

    Just big, nasty and rude. He has no legacy and I don’t see why people praise, jock him and ride his tit.

    Jay is childish, needs to grow up and stop too.

    You all sound stupid. Jay takes plenty of pics with wife and his swag is his swag. Stop hatin all the time. Some of you have serious issues with yourself that you always have something negative to say about someone else.

    Jay is WAY PAST
    that “gangsta”

    business deals
    worth tens of
    millions at a pop,
    and his wife has
    moved beyond just
    being on stage and
    in front of a camera
    to CONTROLLING THE
    BUSINESS end of things.
    You “knee grows” who
    NEVER GROW UP —
    newsflash!
    Looking INTELLIGENT
    when you’re signing
    multimillion dollar
    deals may seem STRANGE
    to you, but it is
    EXPECTED from the people
    that you’re inking those
    deals with.
    Jay is BEYOND pleasing
    a bunch of damn ghetto
    types — he is WELL on
    his way to being half of
    a BILLIONAIRE COUPLE —
    take a good look as he
    and Bey wave “bye bye”
    to your dumb asses —
    they are headed to Oprah
    land.

  • WTF???

    @ Maurice:
    I can’t believe one can be so empty and wish death on someone!

    …Ummm..
    Jay-Z always hiding his hands in his pockets like no one know the reason why! Everybody know that he’s married so he can stop doing that! Wonder if Bey brought him a cheap ring? LOL… Dats still “my boo” tho! LOL..
