There's great news for those of us craving an original movie in Hollywood. There are talks to produce a biopic on ODB, the late rapper most famously known as a cutup and a member of the infamous Wu Tang Clan. Tracy Morgan and Eddie Griffin are competing for the role.
I'm very excited about this because ODB, although not the best decision maker, was one of the most colorful rappers in the pre-Kanye era of hip-hop. He wasn't so much boisterous so much as awkward, interrupting awards shows saying things like, "ODB loves the kids." While this might have been disturbing coming from someone else, it was pure comedy gold coming from ODB.
And while we can still go back like babies and pacifiers in song, we don't know the whole story of his journey with the Wu, his problems, and his music. Let's just hope nobody messes up the soundtrack by trying to cover his classic jams like "Shimmy Shimmy Ya."
I look forward to this and as ODB would, say, "This one's for the children!"
