ethanbecconsall Ok I think it's fair to say that straight outta Compton was a huge success when it came to the cinemas back in 2015. It portrays rap group N.W.A which consisted of Ice Cube, Dr Dre, Eazy-E, MC Ren and DJ Yella. I want to start by saying if you haven't seen it you must. The acting, soundtrack and violence made this movie brilliant and portrayed life back in the 80s when the police were corrupt and seen all blacks people as threats and not treated as equal as whites were. You have to understand that since this is a huge Hollywood movie there will be some tweaks made and changed to makes this movie as much as a drama as they could. Now I know people are saying they weren't heroes but they never were meant to be heroes. They are displayed as lyrical geniuses who stood up for what they believed in and expressed how they felt on tape recorders, vinyls etc. They went from having nothing in life to being millionaires who could party and buy whatever they like. Also people seem to not understand the sexual part. Back in the day of rap, all these rap groups and companies had woman who were referred to as hoes. Who basically they could sleep with or have anything done to them whenever they like. That was a huge factor back in the day. Sure it was bad and made woman look bad. But that was a huge concept in rap and it still is to this day.But I still think this is the best movie ever made. Full of drama and entertainment, good music and emotional scenes. I'd say forget the bad ratings and watch it yourself and gather your own opinion on it.

Michael Ledo This film documents the history of N.W.A. (N-word With Attitude) from before its inception in 1986 up until the death of Eazy-E (Jason Mitchell) of aids. We see them as kids who "want the best for me" and reject society. They consider themselves journalist because they report on what is going on outside their door, expressing frustration in explicit and provoking language known as "gangsta rap". The film covers the splitting up of the group, the highlights and the low-lights. O'Shea Jackson Jr. did an excellent job playing Ice Cube, most likely better than Ice Cube could have done himself, if you have ever seen him act. The film made me wonder who was the most Ruthless, the rappers, the police, or the record company. They could have named this film "Ruthless." This is the story behind the lyrics. It was well done, but may not be topical for a lot of viewers.Guide: F-bomb, sex, nudity. Bye Felicia.

bendoverr Loved it. Always a fan of nwa back in the day and if you were then you'll love this movie.

santacruzer-19311 This movie was excellent showing how LA treated African Amercians in the late 80s early 90s. i am a fan of political rap and this movie shows it. it not only shows the rise and fall of N.W.A but also what they had to go through to get to the top. i think straight outta compton came out in the right time with everything that happened between 2015 to 2016. it shined light and made everyone understand just a little bit. other than that the movie was excellent but i just had one problem with it. when N.W.A was recording straight outta compton Dr Dre went outside and was having baby mama trouble and then the cops drove by and looked out the window. After Dre's baby mama drove off the rest of nwa came out and asked what he did wrong and about 3 cop cars came from around the corner and harassed the group when everything was said and done cube comes up to Dre and thats how fuk da police came about. but thats not how the real story went
