Notorious BIG's children are bringing him back as a cartoon ghost. CJ and T'yanna Wallace have announced plans for an animated series about their departed father and his Brooklyn recording studio.
"It's been 16 years since our dad was murdered and we miss him dearly," the Wallaces said. "This project ??? is a great opportunity for us to bridge the gap between our parents, who loved his music, and the kids and young adults our ages, that were not around to really appreciate it."
Titled House of Wallace, the series will follow the animated adventures of 16-year-old CJ and 19-year-old T'yanna, with guest appearances by real-life musical stars. An "ethereal" version of Biggie will materialise to give advice to his kids ??? and although CJ and T'yanna will play themselves, it's not clear who will be doing the Big Poppa impersonation.
For Ossian Studios, the production company, the show's biggest innovation is the way it will incorporate product placement. The main storyline traces the Wallaces' efforts to "re-energise" their father's studio and thwart an attempt to turn it into a "cookie-cutter 'entertainment factory'". But part of the heroes' strategy involves using the studio to record commercial jingles.
"Some of the world's greatest talents [will] lend their voices and abilities to some of the world's best-known brand names," said a press release. Ossian's president, Wally Eltawashy, declared that House of Wallace's "creative format will allow for advertising integration in the truest, purest sense of the term. This could well be the very first animated programme to incorporate creative shops (and their brand partners) directly into the narrative."
Depending on how you feel about corporate synergy, you may not want to read the rest of this paragraph. The show's creators boast that in addition to "original songs from guest stars", House of Wallace will feature "reimagined renditions of classics from [Notorious BIG's] catalogue". Maybe Nasty Girl will become a song about Sainsbury's.
Still, a lot of changes may take place between now and House of Wallace's premiere. Ossian are merely "in discussion" with TV networks, and they have not yet begun production.
Notorious BIG, one of the greatest rappers of all time, was murdered in a 1997 shooting. He was 24.

On Biggie or Florida Evans?
HARSH
also if they do a cartoon can they make these lyrics into an episode?
When I get dusted, I like to spread the blood like mustard
Trust it, my hardcore rain leaves you rusted
Move over Lucifer, I'm more ruthless, huh
Leave your toothless, you'll kibbitz, I'll flip it
Tears don't affect me, I hit 'em with the tech G
Disrespect me - my potency is deadly
I'm shootin babies, no ifs ands or maybes
Hit mummy in the tummy if the hooker plays a dummy
Slit the wrist of little sis
After she sucked the dick, I stabbed her brother with the icepick
because he wanted me to fuck him from the back
but Smalls don't get down like that
Got your father hidin in a room; fucked him with the broom
Slit him down the back and threw salt in the wound
Who you think you're dealin with?
Anybody step into my path is fuckin feelin it!
Hardcore, I got it sucked like a pussy
Stab ya til you're gushy, so please don't push.. me
I'm using rubbers so they won't trace the semen
The black demon, got the little hookers screamin
Because you know I love it young, fresh and green
with no hair in between, know what I mean?

Adulthood takes the fun out of everything.
Do u like everything? Do u not have any standards or parameters?
Is Ready To Die a kids friendly concept?
I bet this isnt even their idea to have a cartoon ghost hang around the studio on some Mrs. Muir shit.
I can see this from the Will Smith or MC Hammer camp, but to sell your father as some after-life teacher to a generation who doesnt even listen to him is some questionable shit.
If your kid asked you to hear Biggie after watching the cartoon what would u do?
"Oh see what had happened was is that Chris is their father, but this album here has him fucking Lil Kim and feeding burglars to dogs"
Really?
If we were still kids we wouldn't be allowed to watch this unless our parents were busy cooking meth.
But yes, let us return to the youthful joy of killing people with ice picks, shooting pregnant whores, and sodomizing adult men with broomsticks.
If I don't like something I try not to speak on it. Or at the very least I try not to waste too much breath explaining why I don't like what I don't like. Positive over negative.
Nope. Not in the slightest.
I used to watch and laugh at Hulk Hogan's Rock & Wrestling then watch the real life version of those dudes beat the sh*t out of each other. (I think at 10 years old I still thought wrestling was real.) You guys realize that kids these days look up to dudes like Jay-Z, 2 Chainz and Tyler, The Creator, right? ("He's funny and I like how he dresses!" - my niece and her friends)
Regardless, I bet foul ass role models will have nothing to with this cartoon. IF this happens and if it is indeed a kid's cartoon and not some cute-little-cartoon-characters-saying-some-foul-despicable-and-borderline-racist Adult Swim type shit, then I'm willing to bet that Biggie will be the jolliest little fat ghost you've ever seen, so far removed from the way we know him. And parents will turn up "Juicy" when it comes on the radio on some ol' Back In The Day Buffet shit and be like "That's the cartoon ghost you're always watching!"
I think I'd be more prepared for a Biggie the Friendly Ghost if there was some gradual change in his image.
Master P, LL, Will, Cube/ Latifah and them played the acting game so shit kinda went down smoother than this situation.
