Plugging his own upcoming self-produced biopic, King Of The South, Master P, recalled Eazy-E as a “guy from the streets,” who “made the money,” stating that the Straight Outta Compton film did not highlight either facet of the fallen rapper’s life.
Master P might not have been holding ALL the “hook-ups because if he did, he would already have Tyler Perry locked in to direct his biopic. But I’ll tell you what dude does have — $10M to fund the production, “King of the South.
“I’ve been talking to Tyler Perry people right now trying to get him to direct this movie.” – Master P
Here’s what Master P said on The Breakfast Club:
“”This movie gonna have like a big A-plus director. The reason why I’m looking at Tyler Perry is because he’s know the culture of New Orleans. He know the Second Line and Mardis Gras those type of things. That’s the difference of our movie. I’ve been talking to his main guy Isaac, and I told him ‘I really want Tyler to do this.'””
SOOC wasn’t supposed to be about Eazy E’s life, it was supposed to be about the rise and fall of NWA. Massa Pee is an idiot.
He’s far from an idiot, he’s the only rapper that used the record company as his personal employee & only paid them for distribution.
I would love to see this movie made, but it has no chance of being the box office smash that SOOC is.
White people made NWA, and those same people made the movie a hit. I know a 43 year old white dude from work who went to see it 3 times reliving his glory years. lol
White folks barely know who P is, and we know that black folks won’t support it.
F.Gary Gray is not white and he made the movie
What does that have to do with the fact that white people are the bulk pf the audience for NWA and the movie SOOC?
I’d pay to see a movie about THE SUGAR HILL GANG
Yep
Totally agree!
