I wonder the same thing...Lil' Ceas mentions him in Lil Kim's Crush on
You. ..."as smooth as the words that come from Frank Wright.."

Frank White is NOT biggie's alter ego, or his gangster wannabe
name, or a name he stole from 2pac....

Frank White is the main character in a little known movie called
"the King of New York". It stars Christopher Walken as Frank White,
the king of new york...it's all about how he and the mafia take the city
of new york on to control it and make tons of dough and cool shit like
that...

biggie refers to himself as the king of new york, and king of new york =
frank white, therefore....biggie is frank white...

When I saw the heading to this subject, I automatically knew the
answer. I loved that film , but hadn't seen it in 6 years....Why
did that character's name stay in my head? It aint like he's don corleone
from Godfather or Tony Montana from Scarface...
Chris cn act his butt off, but for some reason the movie was a sleeper.
Anyway, I'm glad i remembered it...It means I got a good memory

rooster is correct...i just rented the movie "King of New York" the other
day from Blockbuster, and the main title character, Frank White is played
by christoper walken. i can see why biggie liked it, its a good mob movie
with LOTS of action and (i think) a dope as hell ending. it makes you
think. id say go check it out.

uuuh, I liked the flick too, but it is a violent gangster film, not "A
Brief History Of Time"
