Lackluster rapper Tony Yayo is in discussion to portray hip-hop legend KRS-ONE in a new movie about the iconic Juice Crew and the birth of hip-hop.

“I’m going to play KRS-One… That’s 50′s favorite rapper… They’re trying to do it right now.”

Akeelah & The Bee star Keke Palmer has already signed up for the role of Roxanne Shante in the film, while Evan Ross will portray MC Shan.
