  10 Hip-Hop Biopics That Should Get Made With Straight Outta Compton finishing first at the box office two weeks in a row and already grossing over $100 million dollars, the movie industry has certainly taken notice. Not only does Master P have a biopic slated for release next year, a 2Pac film with Marcc Rose (who played Pac in Straight Outta Compton ) and John Singleton is possibly in the works, and there were even rumors of a Straight Outta Compton sequel called Dogg Pound 4 Life , which chronicled the lives of Tha Dogg Pound, Snoop Dogg, and 2Pac during the Death Row Records era. Universal Pictures has since denied that the Dogg Pound flick is on their schedule, but the attention that rumor received proves that the public has an appetite for Hip-Hop biopics. N.W.A's Straight Outta Compton movie is a great example of how the stories behind the music are just as compelling as the music itself. And because Hip-Hop has countless interesting stories to tell, there ar...
