In the wake of the N.W.A. biopic Straight Outta Compton's unfuckwithable box office success, the rumor mill has tripled its productivity rate to give us whisperings of possible biopics centered on other legendary hip-hop forces. For dedicated ATLiens, one group deserves the proper cinematic treatment more than any other: the incomparable OutKast.
