Dr. Dre’s Son Curtis Young Will Play His Father In ‘Dogg Pound For Life’ Movie
The MC recently was in the news in light of the Straight Outta Compton biopic which chronicled his father, Ice Cube, Eazy-E, DJ Yella and MC Ren's rise to fame as part of N.W.A. As talks of a sequel spread with mentions of Curtis portraying his father, Young, the spitting image of Dr. Dre, was in headlines nationwide. The forthcoming film, which is not a sequel but a film that will be based around the creation of Tha Dogg Pound and their stay at Death Row Records, was then backed by Daz Dillinger, while rumors of 50 Cent's involvement in producing the film began to catch fire, leading many to believe the film was indeed on the way.
XXL recently caught up with Curtis Young to confirm the next hip-hop biopic on the way, hear his thoughts on Straight Outta Compton and talk about portraying his father, who he didn't meet until he was 20 years old. —Miranda J.
