EURweb.com's Marie Moore spoke with Jamal "Gravy" Woolard, Angela Bassett and Voletta Wallace about "Notorious".

As would be expected with most parents, Ms. Wallace did not understand her son’s music either.

“There were days at home sometimes I heard things in the room. I called it noise [laughs]. I didn’t know what it was. I thought maybe the radio was playing something and then they would talk. One day he opened the door and he said to me, ‘Mom, we’re not making noise. That’s music. I said, ‘Oh my God. What kind of music is that? Mom, that’s called rap music. To me music was singing and he said, ‘Mom, I don’t sing, I rap!’ So over the years I tolerated the noise [laughs].”
