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?



















What wild and crazy ideas do you have for the next big biopic? Post your suggestions below for artist and movie title, and we'll post the best movies on Friday!

"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...

The Nice Guy Rules

"Nice guys finish last." What a hogwash statement. Seriously; it's baloney, maybe even pastrami. Through entertainment, business, and romance, the belief is that a man with etiquette and morals is one with diseases, like the measles or swine flu. When you turn on your television or read your news...kindle, you witness arrogant, womanizing egomaniacs praised as charismatic men with undeniable "swagger". Men who are interested in helping others and making people enjoy themselves are undervalued. The result is young men trying too hard. These men, known as "Nice Guys", are seen as sweet people who are great to know and make you laugh, but are OFTEN over looked for men who...use less effort to receive approval. As a teen and in my early college years, I played into this. It's such a weird feeling; you become enamored with doing right by people, as if it determines whether people will like you. Half the time, if you are "too" nice, peo...

I'm a Hater (Acknowledging Your Faults and Using to Reach Prosperity)

I, Cedric Charles Perry, am a hater. Whew...though it's tough to say, admission is the first step to recovery. It's a gene that has traveled throughout my family tree; my great-grandmother has been recognized as one of the more influential haters during the civil rights movement. My sister Dee actually holds the Pennsylvania state record for most consecutive statements using the word "corny", with 46. It appears that there are numerous types of haters; my type is called "Conditional Hater", where in attempts to create humor, I will break out in uncontrollable hating. Recognizing that this trait runs in my family, I was bound to be a hater and it's better for me to acknowledge this now and help others who share this condition. To better address this addiction, which currently affect approximately 3.6 million people in America (I made that number up), let's identify what hating is. Rapper LL Cool J once stated that hating is "identifying a perso...
