hip hop groups/label flix gonna be poppin up like roaches in Harlem

True

The only thing that bothers me about it, is that there was never a time when an NWA movie wouldn't have been a success - sure Dre getting Apple money frames it in a certain way, but the climate was always right - nikkas have always been getting fukked with by the White power structure and speaking out about it and people have always loved NWA. They could have done this years ago, but well - y'know :mjpls:

On a positive note -

If they're going to do the Def Jam joint - Michael B in this scene would be :banderas:

It's Ed Piskor's Hip Hop Family Tree - Book is dope as hell. and he's mad cool - met him on Free Comic Book Day in TO.

The book starts in the 70's - hence the style of art and the paper stock it's printed on. As he moves through the decades, the artwork will change to reflect it e.g. He has sketches of Ice T floating around that look like they were done by Rob Liefeld.

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

Lol, you know how it is in Hollywood. Once a certain type of movie blows up, a lot of studios become quite unoriginal with their choices of films.
