Da Cap'n 2099 Posted June 30, 2016 Share Posted June 30, 2016 I know this one has been in the winds for a while so I'm glad that the success of Straight Outta Compton is pushing this and other hip-hop biopics forward. Hopefully, it's more SOC and less the Aaliyah one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The NZA Posted July 5, 2016 Share Posted July 5, 2016 damn. yeah i too have been happy with the idea of more rap biopics (hoping for a Wu one before dipset, haha) but ive been less excited about this one since hearing john singleton wasn't happy & set out to do his own version...plus i hear they cast the same dude as biggie from Notorious, which admittedly ive still not seen since i recall ya'll not being too keen on it at the time? speaking of: how was resurrection, worth seeing?

Da Cap'n 2099 Posted July 5, 2016 Author Share Posted July 5, 2016 Resurrection was a straight up documentary. And a decent one, if I remember correctly. And, yeah, a Wu biopic would be the next big group one. But we need an OutKast one too. Hell, we need ANYTHING OutKast, at this point.

Da Cap'n 2099 Posted January 17, 2017 Author Share Posted January 17, 2017 The film will be released June 16, the late rapper's birthday. All Eyez on Me, the long-gestating biopic of rapper Tupac Shakur, is finally on its way to theaters. Lionsgate's Summit Entertainment has acquired the U.S. rights to the Morgan Creek Entertainment film that follows the life of the iconic '90s rapper, and has set it for release June 16 — the day that would have marked Shakur’s 46th birthday. The film chronicles his rise to superstardom as a hip-hop artist, actor, poet and activist, as well as his imprisonment and controversial time at Death Row Records. Shakur sold more than 75 million records worldwide, with his fourth studio album, 1996's All Eyez on Me, selling more than 10 million copies. Shakur, who was killed in Las Vegas at the age of 25, will be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame on April 7 this year. FINALLY!
