Good Morning Family.  How is the Nation feeling?  I know I’ve been off the grid for some time but I think I missed this story or intentionally have selective memory about it.  Raekwon has a biopic? Are you serious?

News broke yesterday that Rae, whose PRODUCING the film enlisted the services of his good friend Cee-Lo Green to play the part of his father.

“[He’s] a good friend of mine. When I called him and told him about it he was just overwhelmed. He’s just one out of the greats that’s gonna be on the project.”

Cee-Lo joins a cast that already includes The Cool Kids’ Chuck Inglish, who will play a younger version of the Staten Island, New York native. Rae is looking to strike a deal with Lions Gate.

“We’re definitely going for the theaters,” he continued. “The people that are gonna be involved with it definitely feel like it’s a great picture, and there’s a definite possibility it’s a Lions Gate film.”

Who really wants to know about Raekwon?  I mean I love the Wu and I appreciate Rae’s music but correct me if I’m wrong, he’s still alive right?  I mean how can you have a biopic about someone whose still here?  Notorious was a really good film and I’d suspect the pending 2Pac and Bob Marley films will be decent as well.  But those are lives that defined an era and they’re dead! I mean what if some astronomical event happens in Rae’s life subsequent to its release, it would be pretty silly.  Would they make a part 2?

I mean I get it.  We live in such a self absorbed society where every Tom, Dick and Harry believes they can have a reality TV show and those that don’t, think they’re so important that their every move from eating a burger to washing their balls must be played out on their favorite social network.  So I’m not surprised that entertainers especially rappers would now be under the impression that we’d be interested in hearing about their sob story about they grew up without a daddy sold drugs got pinched and turned to music.  But to produce your own? While you’re still here?  That goes beyond vain.  Its disrespectful of each and everyone of ours time.  I don’t care if I was the biggest Wu fan, there’s no way I’d pay the price of admission to see the biased video autobiography of a man….Then again I probably a hypocrit while I didn’t see it in the theaters I did enjoy 8 mile.
