Hip Hop Biopics: N.W.A., Run-DMC, Tupac Shakur, Juice Crew [Plus: Richard Pryor, Miles Davis, Louis Armstrong]

Lots of hip hop biopic action in the works and, with the success of NOTORIOUS, there will be more on the way. But, one has to wonder, are there no women worthy of biopics [to producers]?

Hip hop biopics:

N.W.A. biopic, 'Straight Outta Compton,' in development

'Notorious' scribe takes on Run-DMC

Shakur Biopic At Center Of Legal Battle

Juice Crew Movie, "The Vapors," Scrapped

The Miles Davis biopic starring Don Cheadle, announced in 2006, now seems to be scheduled for 2011.

I'm not sure what's up with the dueling Louis Armstrong biopics, one with Forest Whitaker starring and directing and the other involving Quincy Jones and John Sayle.
