Destiny’s Child
We’d like to believe that Destiny’s Child is just on a loooooonng hiatus, but that’s unlikely. Still, the girl group, which originally started off with four members, has a well-known history that could make for a pretty awesome mini-series.

Remember the Titans
Denzel Washington was already a mega star when ‘Remember the Titans’ came out. But the film about an inspirational football coach starred young stars Donald Faison, Craig Kirkwood and Wood Harris.

As LaFace artists, Outkast had to have a hit album after ‘Aquemini’ and they sure did with ‘Stankonia’. The record that went quadruple platinum had songs such as “So Fresh, So Clean”, “Ms. Jackson” and “B.O.B”.
