I have and that movie is still ass and critics and moviegoers who also follow martial arts movies agree. Wu's story would be nice though. Especially about ODB being a suburban gangster.

I enjoyed it .Regardless of whether or not RZA directs the film by himself... you know he'd be heavily involved.
An unfiltered no holds bar, Master P, Puffy, or Suge Knight movie would be dope to me. Like if all of the facts could be collected and the story could be told without these dudes cosign. Like to show Puffy's true snake behavior and ties to the underworld. Showing P maneuver between the streets & Corporate America. These movies could be mad compelling.
Even the ridiculousness of a movie about Baby's life, personality, and street history. Let Ms. Gladys get some shine
this is why i like unauthorized biographies.
im expecting an unauthorized NWA biography to come out by the NWA so we can finally eat.
A Master P flick would be insane, but I don't think folks that were not from the hood or south understand how important he was. A dungeon Family flick would be dope too. But as for something that could be powerful from a nation wide perspective Wu Tang or a Jay Z flick.

Wouldn't waste one red cent to see a lame Jay Z Biopic. Can't wait for Pac's though.

I like Nas more than Jay but hollywood can glamorize the hustling Jay did and characters like Dame would make good cinematic characters.

I see a lot of Run DMC, bone Thugs, Wu Tang, No Limit etc - nobody is denying their talent and contribution to hip hop. But to answer the question? Nobody except Pac (which is currently in production), not even Jay-Z.
When I was learning screenwriting every single time one of the main notes given to me was "you need to have conflict in the story, if there is none, it's boring".
I know some of you guys love 36 Chambers and all that, but outside of the hip hop community who are they? Nobodies. Sure they might be noticeable by face but not on a large scale, where a very significant portion of the US knows about them (even more important if known on an international basis).
NWA was the first music act to EVER have a parental advisory sticker on their cd. Their main song was called "fukk THE POLICE". WHOEVER DARED TO TALK ABOUT THE COPS LIKE THAT, EVER?! Especially on just a large scale. You seen people holding protests over their materials, you had White America's attention (this is very significant with a biopic), there was conflicts all over their image.
8 Mile and Get Rich or Die Tryin' weren't necessarily biopics but portrayed a good portion of Em and 50's lives in the film. Those films were made because their buzz was astronomical at the time. If those movies weren't made I guarantee one on Em would be made on Em in atleast a decade (conflict - difficult upbringing, white rapper, homophobia, record sales, internationally known, abusive towards his wife, etc etc). 50 probably not because his buzz died down but the whole got shot 9 times did wonders for his film then.
A lot of you guys hated Notorious and you know what, aside from the Pac scenario, there was barely any dilemma in Big's life. We don't care about him and Faith Evans relationship, there are cheaters in every film. I haven't seen the James Brown biopic, it came and went. Why? People forgot about him. Sure your grandma plays his records when you go over there, there was a time he sold millions but not much conflict.
The next major biopic musically should be and will be Michael Jackson. Just him being the most famous entertainer on earth and being accused of child molestation charges can be one film and we already know every other conflict he's faced in life (Jackson 5 issues, skin change, etc)

With how good SOC was, i hope the Pac movie is just as good or better. If it is then it can open up awhole new lane for these type of flicks. With that said, it'll be hard making about most rappers to be as god as SOC was. 2pac is one you could do. Wu tang if they include their time fuccin shyt up in Ohio 
I think 2 Live Crew would be a good ass flick

DMX by far has the most interesting life story out of any former mainstream rap artist. ( not including the films that are pending )
A lot of acts we revere just don't have the stories that justify a biopic.
Wu would be very difficult to do and who knows if the ODB project ever gets finished.
