I got Straight Outta Compton a couple of months back, but since I have been busy or been watching other things, I’ve not been watching films all too much. The other week I finally sat down and watched it, and really enjoyed it!
As I am sure you already know, it’s a biopic about the rap group NWA and focuses on the members of the group, mainly DR Dre, Eazy E and Ice Cube, as well as DJ Yella, MC Ren and manager Jerry Heller. I like hip hop but I was never a huge fan of NWA as a collective, since they formed in the late 80s until the early 90’s and I was a too young, but always loved Dre and what he’s went on to do since then. It’s a great film which shows how it all got started and all of the drama with getting ripped off by Jerry Heller, run-ins with the police and the rap lifestyle.
If you haven’t already seen it and you like rap or 90’s culture films in general, you have to watch it.
