Juice Crew movie...The Vapors being made

[Koolest]

A film about one of Hip-Hop's most storied collectives, The Juice Crew, is
scheduled to begin production in January of 2008. The movie, entitled The Vapors, after Biz Markie's 1988 hit of the same name, will be directed by Furqaan Clover.

Actress Keke Palmer (Akeelah and the Bee, Madea's Family Reunion) has been cast as Roxanne Shante, while Clifton Powell (Ray, Norbit) will play the part of DJ Mr. Magic. Clover's previous credits include Queen of Media, a biopic of Hip-Hop radio personality Wendy Williams, which is currently in post-production.

In addition to helping launch the careers of artists such as Big Daddy Kane, Roxanne Shante, Biz Markie, Kool G. Rap and Masta Ace, the Juice Crew was known for MC Shan's infamous feud with KRS-One. Juice Crew producer and former head of Cold Chillin' Records Marley Marl is said to have a role in production along with Big Daddy Kane.

got a link?

is this for real theatrical release, or straight to video?

no other rappers are mentioned?

they need credible people for

MC Shan
Marley Marl
Biz
Kane
Master Ace
Craig G
Tragedy

and if they're going to depict the rivalries they need someone to play BDP..

and oh, boy-- licensing music for a movie is almost never easy.. they'd hopefully already cleared the Cold Chillin' catalog..

great point. hopefully it starts and revolves around:

biz's difficulty, and aligning with kane, and how it tied into marley and roxie.

Yeah, they shouldn't even make the movie if they can't use the real songs.
