N.W.A. biopic in the works

A world of NO.

"Titled, what else, "Straight Outta Compton," the film will chart the rise and fall of the group that were banned on MTV, radio and basically every other existing outlet, but still went on to sell millions of records regardless. Though Public Enemy were one of the first hip-hop groups to break through with a revolutionary, agitating and politicized tone, NWA's West Coast brand of gangster rap was much more anarchic and nihilistic...

The group quickly splintered after their success with 1998's Straight Outta Compton. Ice Cube left the group in 1990 after falling out with the group over money issues and they disbanded in 1991. Eazy-E died of AIDS related causes in 1995. The film's producers include Ice Cube, Dr. Dre, and Tomica Wright (Eazy-E's widow), and they're actively seeking an Curtis Hanson-like director; he helmed one of the best hip-hop films in "8 Mile.""

PS:

Once again, I have happened upon something so epic that I just cannot come to terms with it. I'm dyinnnnng re: the above pic. Fourth dude is Arabian Prince, oh my goodness, who it turns out produced "Supersonic"! Music-nerd receptors on overload!
