5 of the worst music biopics of all time

Image
 5. Crazy Sexy Cool: The TLC Story Although many will disagree with this movie being on the list, the portrayal of Chili has it stand corrected. The script failed to capture Chili's significance in the group. She was overdramatize, by actress Keke Palmer, and although many of the people are still alive, the story still create the feeling of being incomplete. Not just because of the death of Lisa Lopez, but due to the fast development to reach the peak, while having little detail or character build up. Compared to great biopics, and to good/average ones, the TLC Story is a deserving 5th place as worst music biopics. 4. All Eyez On Me: Tupac Shakur Arguably one of the  greatest rappers of all time   who has definitely been the biggest influence on hip hop culture, All Eyez On Me created the biggest upset since the Aaliyah movie. The movie lacked precision, facts, and overall script development. This movie feels as if a fan who watched  Tupac  documentaries c...

Sza gets sexy in Ctrl

Image
After receiving recognition from Top Dawg Ent , it came as no surprise when she signed to the label in 2013. By 2014, Sza released her debut ep titled "Z" which ultimately established her core fan base. Calmly making headlines with her features and the recent single Love Galore which features Travis Scott, Sza stirred up enough buzz for her mainstream debut. By first promoting the album CTRL on her Instagram with a tattoo, Sza created a trend, while many of her loyal fans follow the tattoo art. With the release of Love Galore, fans and audiences that listened to "Z" can instantly hear the difference in the albums. CTRL is definitely an attempt to appeal to the mainstream audience, but Sza does a good job doing it. Labeled as a conscious neo soul singer, Sza challenges her vocal dynamics, while implementing relatable and common topics in the lyrics.
