Who's Next? Artists and Groups Deserving The Next Deep Biopic

With the recent release of CrazySexyCool, the biopic of legendary female singing group TLC, the question has arose about who should be the next group to receive a documentary highlighting their music career. There are several artists who qualify to have their life detailed in a film, but as an eccentric young man from the suburbs I have a list of singers and groups outside of mainstream America's perspective that would make for entertaining (if not great) flicks.

Ginuwine- "Too" Anxious/Pony Ride: The Ginuwine Story

With his untold story of battles with addiction, S-curls, and the timeless "So Anxious" dance scene, "The Bachelor" offers an intriguing script for the small screen.

Kirk Franklin- Skinny Jeans for Jesus

The host of Sunday's Best and owner of classic gospel tunes such as, "Smile", "Something About The Name Jesus", and "Stomp" deserves credit for adding mainstream appeal to the gospel music industry and paving the way for artists like Dietrick Haddon and Tye Tribbett.

Jodeci- Ooh YEAH! The Life and Times of Jodeci

The Bad Boys of R&B were the torch bearers of the the genre following the New Jack Swing era and remain one of the last great male singing groups. The group is notorious for the wild life and escapades during their hey day, and the captivating personality of lead singer Cedric "K-Ci" Hailey set up for must see TV. Furthermore, the group lent themselves to one of the most hilarious moments in Black sitcom history.

The Forgotten Members of Destiny's Child- We Messed Up

Destiny's Child former members LaTavia Robinson, Letoya Luckett, and Farrah Franklin are the forgotten faces of the most successful female group of all time. With the exception of Luckett (who returned to the spotlight as a solo artist and tv show host) the ladies never got to tell their side of the story.

Chad Hugo- How an Asian Man Saved Hip-Hop

Chad Hugo, the other half of the legendary producer team The Neptunes, quietly changed the face of Hip Hop. Often cast in the shadow of partner Pharrell Williams, Hugo's knack for putting the final touches on rap classics has long been overlooked.

(Fan Choice) Sisqo-Thong Song Gone Wrong

Music withstood...shouldn't this picture be reason enough for a look into the mind of Sisqo?

The Adventures of Captain Save-a-Ho, America's Most Misunderstood Hero

"Dude, hear me out: they gave Batman one, Thor, even Captain America...when's BLANKMAN getting a new film? You know he deserves it." Al Gore, 'We're Just Talking' While the quote was originally written for comedic purposes, I admit to privately celebrating the less popular and promoted superheroes of my time and before. Great protectors such as Colossus (first superhero with a high top fade), The Flash, and my favorite...Meteor Man, were commonly overlooked while guys like Batman and Superman soaked up the limelight. Buried even further below these 'underground' heroes however lies a figure that serves and protects more commonly than any of the previously mentioned figures, and NEVER gets the respect a defender of their credentials. They've saved more people than all of the Justice League members combined and never needed an alter ego; they simply go by the name of "Captain Save-a-Ho". Though speaking in a mildly facetio...

Kanye West- Paranoid ft. Mr. Hudson

"Paranoid" is a song by American hip hop recording artist Kanye West, released March 24, 2009 as the fourth and final single from his fourth studio album, 808s & Heartbreak (2008). The song was co-produced with Jeff Bhasker and Plain Pat, while co-written by the three along with Consequence and Kid Cudi. The original version of the song, which appears on the album, features Mr Hudson, an English R&B/alternative rock singer who had recently been signed to West's GOOD Music label.

"What's Up, Youngblood?": A Deeper Look At The Old School Player

They are found pretty much everywhere: at the supermarket, on the second floor at your job, and especially at family reunions. Though conspicuous in nature, this species is easy to spot. No I'm not talking about roaches, you heathen; I'm talking about the "Old School Player", aka a "piiimmmmp". Now it is important to differentiate between an Old School Player and a man who is simply "old school". My father, known affectionately as Charles Perry (please say the full name), is old school; he has traditional values, rough hands, and watches westerns like "Gunsmoke". An Old School Player (O.S.P) is different; they are commonly outlandish, shifty, and laugh really weird. These well-tenured romeos carry great influence on the youth of America, specifically young males. Coming into contact with old school playas brings guys to a critical transition in life: the older men become an example for their younger counterparts. Gentlemen decide f...
