Rigging up a transmission cable (coax) to an outdoor antenna would make a difference but at the RF output power levels that the pi could produce (milliwatts), it would likely be unable to broadcast further than your immediate neighborhood without some kind of RF amplification.
To make something to rival Kurupt fm you’d be better starting with something more substantive - this site has some interesting stuff.

That’s better than I would have expected with an indoor piece of wire. With a very short transmission line to a correctly designed outdoor antenna, it could probably be heard a mile or so away.
What hardware would you need to increase its range? Just a bigger cable?
