which black celebrities would you want to see a biopic of?

[NoMoreWhiteWoman2020]

A Dipset movie.

Imagine a mid-late coming of age story that involved their come up, along with others in the city at the time as well. With so many prominent folks centered in one locale, it could really be an awesome thing. A story that follows Cam with a part 2 on Jim and Part 3 ending on Dave East.

I guess a 20 year look at Harlem told through 3 lenses

 

[NoMoreWhiteWoman2020]

That is the one we need the most.

But he was so powerful we have to make it happen because he scared the living shyt outta cacs.

The KKK supported his separatist movement and donated to him; I don’t think they feared him as much as they feared how much he could fukk up their system of supremacy.
I want a timepiece that captures the riots of 1919 up to the culmination of the Back to Africa movement.

Hell, a Harlem Renaissance movie would be dope but I feel like it would get fukked up by these new woke folks

 

[King of Creampies]

Paul Robeson.

 

[NoMoreWhiteWoman2020]

Queen Amanirenas

iodine poisoning
