'Straight Outta Compton' Sequel 'Welcome to Death Row' Shopped Around

"Compton" isn't straight outta material.

Keeping the momentum of "Straight Outta Compton's" box office success, another gangsta rap biopic is being shopped around that chronicles the rise and fall of Death Row Records.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, "Welcome to Death Row," which features many of the same '90s rap figures from "Compton," has Hollywood's attention. The book and documentary by S. Leigh Savage, who is credited as co-executive producer on "Compton," will follow the epoch of West Coast rap during the 1990s - a time when Tupac Shakur, Snoop Dogg, Dr. Dre and Death Row Records svengali Marion "Suge" Knight were engulfed in controversy amid a tumultuous period in rap music, ending with Tupac's death in 1996.

Already a Tupac Shakur film is in the works with Carl Franklin slated as director. Actor Marcc Rose, a doppelgänger who portrayed Shakur in "Compton," was initially attached to the biopic along with John Singleton as director, but the pair exited the project and announced plans to pursue another Shakur film.
