MTV recently sat down with Diddy to talk about whether or not he was impressed with the actors who portray him and Notorious B.I.G. in the biopic "Notorious".

The Hip-Hop mogul is hard to impress but he only has positive words for the actors. "It's rare that you get a movie made about you when you're still relevant, but [they] took on the challenge," Combs said of the cast, adding that he was especially impressed with actor Derek Luke, who is playing Diddy. "People asked me years ago who you'd want to play me, and I said Derek Luke ... so it was just destined. I got to see him do his thing, and it was scary for me. I had to leave, 'cause he was acting just like me."

Diddy also said that Jamal "Gravy" Woolard is doing a great job portraying Biggie. "Gravy, the guy playing B.I.G., it was just too eerie for me to be on that," Combs marveled. "Gravy's killing it. If I tell you he's killing it, then that's all we need to say, you know what I'm saying? I don't think anybody could have done a better job."

The flick's music supervisor, Deric "D-Dot" Angelettie agrees, "It's a little creepy. You know he's not B.I.G., and we accepted that, [but all of] B.I.G.'s people ... looked to Gravy and said, 'You can play B.I.G. You could do it!' I believe that Gravy has studied hard enough; I think he got enough battle scars from the streets that he could pull it off. We're very happy that he's a part of it."

"Notorious" is slated to hit theatres in January 2009.
