Rapper Ice Cube
Rap and movie mogul ICE CUBE has confirmed reports of a planned biopic about his groundbreaking former group N.W.A (N****z with attitude)
The act often credited with introducing gangster rap to the mainstream.
The group, whose members included Dr. Dre, Ice Cube, Eazy-E, MC Ren and DJ Yella, fought hard against those issues during their too-brief five years together, something that Andrea Berloff will presumably attempt to capture in the biopic she's scripting.
The It Was a Good Day hitmaker fronted the original gangster rap act with Dr. Dre and admits he's working on a new film about "the world's most dangerous group".
He says, "I think N.W.A. changed a lot in pop culture and people should see how we started, how the neighbourhood we came from created N.W.A. and then N.W.A. changed the neighbourhoods we come from. It's definitely a story that needs to be told."
