"Notorious" Screenwriter Signs On To Write Run-DMC Biopic

There are a number of reasons why we can expect the Run-DMC movie to suck less than "Notorious."  First of all, Coker is directly adapting the screenplay from a book, "Tougher Than Leather: The Rise of Run-DMC -- The Authorized Biography."  The lack of creative freedom will hopefully box him into telling the deep and personal story behind Run-DMC's rise to fame.  Second, 2/3's of Run-DMC are alive and well (R.I.P. Jason Mizell), and, with a little luck, Reverend Run will lay his game down, quite flat.  Thirdly, Coker maybe learned from his mistakes with Notorious, enough, at least, to recognize that his shit was wack.

There's one reason why the new Run flick may suck even worse however, and it's connected to a theory that I've been developing for some time now.  This guy, Cheo Hodari Coker, exhibits certain traits:

1.  He superficializes great hip-hop artists
2.  He seeks to profit off said phoniness.

Who does this sound like to you?  Lastly, but most importantly, "Cheo Hodari Coker" sounds like a made-up name.

My theory:  Cheo Hodari Coker is Puffy in disguise. 

I know what you're thinking:  How could Puffy fabricate an entire person, complete with a history as a relatively respected journalist? Well, maybe he did it the same way he does everything.  That is, by using his piles and piles of money.
