Music Complex Casts The N.W.A. Biopic

Now that Notorious was considered a commercial success, it looks like we’re about to see a lot more hip hop movies coming to theaters over the next couple years. News came last week that a screenplay Tupac made while in prison is finally getting greenlighted and now we hear that Ice Cube, Dr. Dre and Eazy E’s widow, Tomica Wright, will be producing a N.W.A. biopic called Straight Outta Compton (what else would it be called?).

Could this be better than Notorious? Possibly. There’s a lot more story to tell with all the members each being involved in some sort of drama even after they left the group, and they also have the chance to learn from Notorious’ mistakes. But the real decider here will be the cast. We took it upon ourselves to offer up some suggestions, coming straight outta Complex!
