ThugLifeArmy.com has this quote from Stallone:
Stallone continue to say: "The story was like a modern-day noir written from the point of view of a Detective [Russell] Poole, who basically was railroaded out of the police department because the more he investigated, the dirtier the high rollers in city hall and police commissions and DA offices all appeared to be part of a conspiracy to squash this case. I don’t think it’ll ever be done because of the amount of lawsuits that would be filed."

BaDbOy1997 at Notorious Online pointed out that Ready to Die: The Remaster is now back in stores with altered versions of "Ready to Die" (the title track) and "Machine Gun Funk". The samples that
pulled it out of stores have been removed. You can listen to samples of the tracks (and buy them) on iTunes. I believe you can
buy it at Amazon.com, as well.
I've been told that a Biggie Greatest Hits album is slated for March of next year. Will be interesting to see what that tracklisting will end up being. I'll probably make some predictions here as time passes.
Biggie was featured pretty heavily in the Holloween episode of South Park. Or at least, their ... comedic impression of him. Basically, the story is that you can summon The Notorious B.I.G. by saying "Biggie Smalls" three times while looking into a mirror. Not the most favorable impression, but there aren't really favorable impressions on South Park, I don't think. Cartman recites some song lyrics, as does another character. Had it's moments.
