Lil Mama To Play Left Eye In TLC Biopic - Movie Update

[Homeboy Runny-Ray]

Son..what u doin is criticizing her for shyt that other people get a pass for?..they made great movies for people who were FAR less successful...YOUR not interested in her story...but there's MILLIONS of people who are..u really need to get over it..and WTF is this revisionist history u talkin about?..who's shoving her down our throats?..son honestly..WTF are u even talkin about?..u get called a hater cause u literally sound like one..u talkin bout wanting to see a movie about some fukkin brandy and Monica over Aaliyah..guess what tho?..if they did a movie about all 3 RIGHT NOW..guess which one would get the most viewers?..death immortalizes people who've done great things in life..shyt..regular everyday people get overrated in death..so it comes with the territory of a RnB/pop star who was very beautiful and young and gettin her buzz back..getting into movies and died such a TRAGIC death...nikka it was less her being shoved down our throats than the WAY she went out...it was a painful grizzly death nikka..and she was young as fukk. Wtf u thought was gonna happen?..Like I said..Ritche Valens was successful for less time than her and he died in a similar way...and they made a WONDERFUL movie about him..ur not interested..fine...but that's YOU bro..

are people really interested in her actual story? or do they just want to see a movie on her just off GP like the good brother @StillNotSoft?

and all youre doing is agreeing with me but getting mad at me for having the balls to state the obvious. just dap me already spliz. YOU CAN DO IT.

I never saw la bamba. im not up on Ritchie valens. no comment.

Well I do...because I don't know what your guys definition of "ain't about shyt" means....hate it or love it Aaliyah connected with people on a different level with her music....Brandy was a bigger star but I don't know if she did that,Monica I think she has but she don't have the name recognition outside of us that Brandy or Aaliyah did....but neither of them died and I don't knw if biopics typically happen without death making it easy to wrap that shyt right up.
And Ginuwne my nikka?his rise to the top is admirable but what's the end game first of all?he got married and settled down and became a family man far as I know...and people simply don't fuk wit Ginuwine like that.
Aaliyah touched millions whether you believe her death boosted that or not,if its fake it usually wears off after a while....but musically she was just different..she was that hiphop chick,the around the way girl who seemed like she was just cool and down to earth,that girl next door who homie status but u realize you wanna hit later...for females they connected with her music on that same homegirl level like a Mary J,or Keisha Cole....u can't say nuthin bad about Mary to some bytches,keisha had her time it was the same way,monica had it,beyonce got it....you can't fake that man
Fans who are passionate in the present or at least on a nostalgic basis are neccesarry to get the wheels movin for a biopic I think,at least one people will watch...and as I said Labamba got a biopic:comeon....but maybe his fans were passionate too and I'm just unaware.
But really I don't know how these biopic decisions are made?maybe that shyt is random as fuk...seems that way sometimes..

monica had more name recognition than aalyiah pre-death.
brandy's show alone made a big enough connection to people.

lol @ people not f*ckin with ginuwine like that. where you from?
hes just too much of a black people singer to get a movie. just like SWV.....oh and his story might can actually carry a movie dog. you out the loop on this one.


lol @ your aalyiah statement. just say you had a crush on her, and she gave off the vibe that you actually had a chance to bag her.
at her peak, she was closer to being a curtain-jerker, rather than a headliner. and for those that think im hating by saying that, do the knowledge and read up.

let me know when you watch that hammer movie.
your response post would be golden.

Yes. There's people really interested in her actual story...WAY moreso than some fukkin Brandy and Monica..lol..but whatever u say bro..lol..anyway..u should watch La Bamba..great flick..one of the best biopics out there about a singer/entertainer...

oh really?

so what scenes do they want to see aside from the lipstick alley scandals that the movie would either tip-toe around or skip over altogether?

don't worry. i'll wait..........

and i could easily think of some scenes for a brandy & monica flick. and that's not even counting the f*ckery that a ray j or c-murder could provide.

it ain't just off JP,I do dig her music,wanted to smash,and she's one of those artist we don't know much about...and one of the few artist I think a biopic would be greenlighted for....as I said there's a lot of artist biopics id like to see,and many I'm a fan of more than Aaliyah....but id like to see hers as well.


Plus I thought we were only talking about biopics that actually had a shot of ever happening...up until you mentioned a Ginuwine biopic

Among the list of POSSIBLE biopics hers is one I wanna see....if a E40,Mac Dre,Too Short biopic is a possibility we can stop all discussions here and ill put my energys elsewhere

@StillNotSoft listed things he would be interested in seeing in a movie about her and u just shrugged the shyt off saying ur not interested in any of that..there's literally NOTHING any of us can say to please u cause u already have an angle...ur not interested so u don't think anyone else should be either..that's all there is to it..who the fukk would think of shyt they could've put about Selena in a movie aside from her standard growing up and come up?..main reason people wanted to see a movie about Selena outside of liking her music was her tragic death at a young age...anything else put in the movie is things only her family/friends knew about...YOUR talking like u grew up wit Aaliyah and know her whole life story and u know for a FACT it's not interesting..u didn't know the chick fam...u don't know what struggles she's had or any of that shyt...no one knows much about her personal life which is WHY it would be a good biopic...u literally have no argument honestly..other than the fact YOUR not interested and YOU don't think she deserves a movie..lol

its GP dog. General Purpose.

i never said that a ginuwine biopic would happen. i just said that hes the only one from that click that has a genuinely(no pun) interesting story that would actually be captured on screen.

but he would definitely get a biopic light-years before some f*ckin e-40, mac dre & too short. im sure youre just joking about them tho. lol.

@StillNotSoft listed the lipstick alley stuff that most likely wouldn't make the film or would be pu$$y-footed around. other than that, all he listed was star search. WELL WHOOP-DE-DO. and her uncle prolly pulled some strings to get her on there.

i never claimed to know aaliyah. you said that you know people want to see an aalyiah flick because of potential scenes. and i asked you what scenes could they possibly be anticipating aside from the lipstick alley chit that wouldn't even make the flick. AND YOU DIDNT ANSWER AT ALL because you know im right when i say that people want to see the flick just off GP.

 

[spliz]

shyt..fukkin Frankie Lymon had a good biopic about him and the nikka died at 25 and was a damn one hit wonder..and it wasn't even a solo single..lol...

 

[BrothaZay]

truth hurts.

deal with it.

you cant speak the truth about aaliyah on here smh

Aaliyah was a fuccin slut, and she was ugly
period

 

[dora_da_destroyer]

I don't know where y'all are coming with Aaliyah wasnt popular. I was in HS when she died and best believe that after one and a million, Romeo must die, and going into her self titled album, she was at the height of her popularity with the female demographic, plus she was one of the few chicks that girls (and dudes) loved as a person. Back in 95-97 it was Monica that me and my girls looked at as a big sister, that role got filled by Aaliyah. Aaliyah was in no way at her least popular around the time of her death, the only time she got moved to the side was in 94/95 when brandy dropped, but when Aaliyah came back in 96 with one and a million, musically she was on the same plane and brandy and Monica. Brandy had the boost with moesha for a minute, but Aaliyah doing movies allowed her to catch up. The only hyperbole I see with Aaliyah is acting like she was a great vocalist, we know she wasn't, but her death definitely impacted my generation (people in 7th grade - college) due to how much us females loved her

Her biopic would do well being that the demographic it'd be catered to would eat it up, just like we did with the TLC movie. The movie was crap outside lil mama's acting, but the nostalgia and impact of tlc is what we were drawn to. Aaliyah would get the same love...you could do a fukking SWV biopic and that shyt would do well with its target audience, certain acts from the 90's are sacred to us chicks who are 25-35 and anything reviving their memory would probably be supported

Master P (reference in the movie) is really about Suge Knight FYI #CrazySexyCool

thanks for clearing that up.i just watched the movie and was puzzled as fukk wondering why are they saying Master P and not Suge Knight.

All them nikkas lives is more interesting than Ginuwine...I know them nikkas got some tales...but I digress because those movies ain't possible...and we bring up Aaliyah because that one is possible and one we actually wanna see

Ill tell you what nobody wuz achin for was a damn TLC biopic,but I watched it cuz I have somewhat of an appreciation for them and dug left eye as a person.

But NOBODY wanted they movie more than Aaliyah,off the basic fact that most folks fuk with her music more and she got more classics,her biopic would be better and something people wanna see more off GP...you gotta factor in the music too,they show artist making songs,stories behind songs etc.

And I didn't really mention the lipstick alley stuff...I mentioned the star search shyt,the Rkelly relationship,even if you don't wanna go the messy incriminating route with it,id love for them to approach R Kelly and just find out what he taught her as a mentor musically,they artist/producer relationship,her struggle as a raw artist into them making classics together...R Kelly is a genius and insight and stories just from a producer/artist perspective would be interesting,and Kellz tells great stories...if she was shy or how her family felt about her singing explicit songs at that age

Wit Kellz U might not get his input if you use the controversial stuff,but either way that aspect can take up a good 30 minutes.....we already a hour in with her childhood and upbringing in the mix

Then you got her meeting Timbaland who says he was in love with her when they met but played it cool,and Missys weird azz,ya boy Ginuwine can make an appearance

You can have her watchin artist like Brandy wondering why she ain't on that level commercially,only to eventually crossover to the mainstream as well and become more commercial

I didn't know the Dame and Jay shyt was lipstick alley mess,I thought there was a little more truth to that...if it can be verified she dated both that's a little drama for you there,dated one of the biggest superstars of our present day,doubt u get much out of Jay...but they'll make some shyt up where Jay was too busy being a player so she went to Dame...you know,movie shyt...use it or dont

Then you got her going into acting,her music career not where it once was....her plotting that comeback but dying in that plane crash instead....the funeral,the end.

And inbetween all that you got her classic music,the stories and recording proccess behind them,along with little scenes her family and friends remember that fans have never heard,things she believed in or said that fans may not know on the outside as she was somewhat private by todays standards.

The script practically writes itself,a good writer can get two hours out of aaliyah with just a little bit of help from the family and friends and peers....and that's without them tellin deep dark secrets they might rather keep hidden,seein as they all protect the shyt out of her....but if u throw some dirt in the mix this shyt is easy..and u not taking into account the part music plays in musical biopics which fans will love the proccess of those songs and stories behind them if there is one.....and don't forget creative license





Think I proved my point...this shyt is happening bruh,deal wit it...how u can be in a tlc biopic thread questioning an aaliyah one people been asking for for years?I'm not even knowin how you can't realize this shyt needs to happen,when a movie nobody was sweatin just got made and came out "eeehh" to nice factoring in lil mamas performance.

 

[Still Benefited]

And at them straight sidestepping my nikka Suge,hate to see my goat label head Rodney Dangerfield status.

 

[Flav]

Pebbles is suge knight, diddy, and big red all rolled into one

Oh shyt!

 

[Flav]

whos the chick they daughtered on the red carpet supposed to be?

for some strange reason it kind of felt like it was lil kim

 

[Flav]

if VH1 was smart they would start makin more if those kind of movies instead of the Behind The Music series.
