This would be longer then the NWA movie if they do it right. You know they are going to cover the years when LL and the Beastie Boys were there cause that was the beginning of their dominance. But will they go into the years with X Jay etc. and even the 2000's with cats like Jeezy.

Well they gotta chronicle their down period too. That period right before 94/95 when they were kinda floundering. Outside of redman their roster wasn't doing much post mama said knock you out and ill communication

No just keep it to the beginning and the establishment of the company no need for anything after that.

I'd rather see the later def jam story or they need to just go three hours. At this point, it's just too much to dismiss by not including the late 90's/00's...but if russ/Rubin is the focus, I guess stopping mid 90's is fine...maybe.

I'm not trying to see a whole bunch of money grab, corporate controlled biopics come out. SOC (even with it's flawed storylines) was dope because of the artist involvement and the number of years put into getting it right....now they're gonna produce like 5 rap movies in the next 18 months and be mad when they flop
