It took nearly 12 years after the tragic shooting death of the Notorious B.I.G. to bring the larger-than-life rapper's story to the big screen. But now, as the release date of "Notorious" is creeping up upon us, the lobbying for which rapper's life should next be lionized in film has begun. Derek Luke — who portrays Sean "Puffy" Combs in "Notorious" — naturally says it should be Diddy. And it shouldn't be any surprise that Anthony Mackie, who plays Tupac in the same film, thinks the Thug Life icon should get a movie of his own.

Well, we here at MTV News have our own suggestions.

Since Luke and Mackie have already had their say, we're gonna skip those picks, for obvious reasons. And apologies to Hammer ("Too Legit: The MC Hammer Story"), Eminem ("8 Mile"), 50 Cent ("Get Rich or Die Tryin'") and even Russell Simmons ("Krush Groove"), but you guys can't be on the list since you've already told your stories. But we also wanna hear from you on this topic, so, after the jump, join the conversation and weigh in.

Jay-Z: Like Biggie, Jay's story is a story about Brooklyn — Marcy Projects, to be exact. So it's about the streets — and by extension, the people — that paved the way for Jay to become the man he is today. And let's not forget his VH1 "Driven" special was filled with as many twists and turns as the curves on Meagan Good's body. Sounds like a no-brainer to us, and even more so after Hov scrapped his "Black Book" memoirs a few years back. Suggestion: Cast Idris Elba to play Jay.

Eazy-E: He was a mogul before anyone in hip-hop really even knew what it meant to be one, from launching N.W.A into hip-hop superstardom to signing Bone Thugs-n-Harmony to fathering enough kids to take up a full row of seats in the L.A. Coliseum. How chilling would it be to see a scene of estranged friends Eazy and Dr. Dre's last conversation before the pint-size gangster rapper passed away from an AIDS-related illness? Suggestion: Use Jerry Heller's book "Ruthless" as the starting point for the screenplay.

(See the rest of our list and share yours, after the jump!)

Run-DMC: They were the Beatles of rap, paving the way for generations of MCs. They were the pioneers, achieving many firsts in hip-hop, from landing on the cover of Rolling Stone to scoring an endorsement deal with Adidas. But little is known about Run, D, and Jam Master Jay's lives after their glory days. Sure, there's "Run's House," but watching the Kings of Queens go from superstars to super dads, husbands and CEOs — and then transition to elder statesmen as they coped with Jay's tragic death — would be a sobering reality check for those with Cristal dreams. (It's not always bottle poppin'.) Suggestion: Call Bill Adler (the original Run-DMC biographer) to work on the script, along with input from Russell Simmons, Lyor Cohen and Rick Rubin.

LL Cool J: He still looks young enough to star as himself, for one, and, for flashback scenes, there's always his teenage son, who filled in for Todd Smith in the "Hush" video. And if you think (SPOILER ALERT) the scenes with Lil' Kim in "Notorious" were hot (hot, hot...), imagine the parental-advisory chapter of LL's book, "Make My Own Rules," brought to life. Suggestion: Somehow find a way to cast Melyssa Ford, or Angel "Lola Luv" Fershgenet, or ... You get the point. (Laugh and lick lips here.)

Scarface: OK, so he might not have the mass appeal of some of his more well-known contemporaries, but, if his lyrics are to be believed, 'Face has lived a life that only a few men walking this Earth could ever survive. And the story arc would be the stuff that makes film auteurs drool: a detached, dark, unbalanced youth overcomes adversity to transform into an introspective, grizzled, respected elder. Green-light this one, even if it'd be a Starz debut only. Suggestions: Have Clint Eastwood executive produce this project.

We here at MTV News are a pretty diverse bunch, so the views expressed by some in our more official-type year-end lists (like James Montgomery's Top 25 Albums and Best Songs, and the Mixtape Monday Awards) are not necessarily shared by the rest of the newsroom. So, this week we gave everyone else a chance to chime in with their own lists and explain (or defend) their choices. You'll find all of the staff faves of 2008 here.

By Rachel Josue, Digital Producer

I would like to preface this list with the following disclaimer: I did not see "Twilight" yet. OK, with that out of the way, like last year, I was really into this year's blockbusters. I go to the movies for the entertainment value, not so much the deep story of this and that, so fun is my #1 priority. Here are my picks for the most entertaining films of the year.

10. "Penelope": I saw this film two years ago, actually, and loved it then. It didn't get the attention it deserved.

9. "Vicky Christina Barcelona": What I appreciated most about this film was that I had seen so many blockbusters and superhero movies during the summer, this film became a breath of fresh air.

8. "Sex and the City: The Movie": The girls will always have a place in my heart.

7. "Hancock": I loved what they did with Charlize Theron's character. I would love to see a sequel for this one.

6. "Wanted": If Angelina Jolie only did action movies like this and "Tomb Raider," I'd be happy.

5. "Tropic Thunder": Best comedy of the year. I didn't stop laughing for one second. Robert Downey = genius.

4. "Dark Knight": I agree with the rest of the world: Heather Ledger was great. I wish I had seen it in IMAX, but even on a regular ol' screen, I loved it.

3. "Wall-E": What's not to love? Thank you, Pixar, for another triumph.

2. "Nick & Norah's Infinite Playlist": Adorable. Real. As a New Yorker, I enjoyed watching the gang weave their way around the LES music scene.

1. "Iron Man": Watching Robert Downey Jr. get in and out of the Iron Man suit was awesome. I'm usually not a gadgets gal, but even I can appreciate how intricate that was. The best scenes were when Downey was alone in the basement, interacting with his 'bots and gizmos.

10. A substitute teacher in New Jersey was fired for accepting friend requests from students on the MySpace page for his band, Ian of Fire. Fortunately, he had an internship at a record label to fall back on.

9. A California middle school student faced expulsion after posting graphic, anti-Semitic threats against a classmate. Meanwhile, 20 of his classmates were suspended for ... looking at the page.

8. This sheriff's deputy was let go after the department's Youth Internet Crimes Unit found his MySpace page, which listed his favorite things as "female breasts, swimming naked and drinking heavily and often."

7. Maybe this Texas art teacher shouldn't have posted topless photos of herself on Flickr. Still, if I were a parent I'd be more concerned about her colleague, who told students about the site in order to get her in trouble.

6. A 27-year-old woman was denied her education degree and teaching certificate because of a Halloween photo on her MySpace page that allegedly promoted "underage drinking." Because nothing says, "Hey kids, drinking is cool," like a pirate drinking out of a plastic Mr. Goodbar cup.

5. The Miss Universe Organization stripped Miss Nevada USA Katie Rees of her crown after semi-nude photos taken at a nightclub were posted on a friend's MySpace page. A year later she was arrested for assaulting a police officer. Good call, Miss Universe Organization.

4. A Wal-Mart cashier was fired for joking on his page that the country's average IQ would increase if a bomb were dropped on the company's stores. "I told them that this was crazy," argued the employee. "It's not like I have a fighter jet in my backyard to drop a bomb with."

3. It wasn't the heroin addiction that lost this meteorologist his job, it was a naked photo on MySpace. As the station's general manager so astutely put it, "You don't want to see Jamey Singleton getting out of the shower, you want to see him doing the weather."

2. Carmen Kontur-Gronquist, former mayor of Arlington, Oregon, lost her job after posting a picture of herself in her underwear. Her defense: "That's my space, that's why they call it MySpace." On the bright side, she's now selling 500 autographed copies on eBay.

1. Bank intern misses work for a "family emergency." Photo of bank intern dressed as Tinkerbell (taken at the Halloween party he skipped work to attend) shows up on Facebook. Bank intern's boss sends photo to entire office.
