Nas is in talks to play Kool G. Rap

The recently announced Juice Crew biopic, Vapors, may be getting Queensbridge native, Nas to play the legendary Kool G. Rap, Wooohah reports. There are a bunch of huge names already attached: Clifton Powell as Mr. Magic; Keke Palmer as Roxanne Shante; and Evan Ross as MC Shan. It has been erroneously reported by many hip-hop news sources that Cuba Gooding Jr. is playing Marley Marl and David Banner as Biz Markie. Who would you like to see attempting to fill the kicks of the two legendary MCs? And how about KRS-one?

Oh, by the way...wanna be in the new Notorious B.I.G. flick?
