Straight Outta Compton
Directed by F. Gary Gray
In 1987, five young men, using brutally honest rhymes and hardcore beats, put their frustration and anger about life in the most dangerous place in America into the most powerful weapon they had: their music. Taking us back to where it all began, Straight Outta Compton tells the true story of how these cultural rebels—armed only with their lyrics, swagger, bravado and raw talent—stood up to the authorities that… From TMDB

60 of 117 · most liked firstThere was a movie about the formation of NWA that I watched a few years ago. I wish I could remember the name of it. It was really great and I learned a lot I didn't know about them. I'll try to think of the name and will update this comment if I can find it. Edit - duh it was Straight Outta Compton of course. I highly recommend this film. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Straight_Outta_Compton_(film)
positive · AI labelView post →the recent Michael Jackson biopic has me thinking about Straight Outta Compton (which came out ten years ago now, good lord). on its own its a pretty cool movie, but as a biopic, there's so much obvious self-fellating from Dr Dre that it borders on parody at certain points

neutral · AI labelView post →The main reason i don’t want to see the Michael Jackson movie is because i don’t like biopics that are produced by the subject or the subject’s family. Straight Outta Compton ruined them for me. They’re just fluff pieces. And that’s fine. Those can be entertaining too. NWA was hella fun, just lies
negative · AI labelView post →Once again, I’m gonna throw it out there that Dr. Dre’s 2015 autobiographical film, Straight Outta Compton, and its companion album, Compton (2015), are, together, his Magnum Opus. If you haven’t seen the film, fix that. If you haven’t heard the album, fix that.

positive · AI labelView post →24 Hour Party People and Straight Outta Compton and the two best. I have a joyful soft spot for the middle third of Rocketman but the film is marred by inner children, rehab, and black box theater. I loved La Vie en Rose when I saw it but haven’t seen it since it was in theaters.

When "Straight Outta Compton" was released, I raced to the theater with my 8 yr old grandson in tow. I didn't wait for a "Compton Combo" to drop and kill the urge.
positive · AI labelView post →Had the realization that NEW ORLEANS, a 1947 movie about the birth of jazz set in 1917-1920, is about the same distance in time as STRAIGHT OUTTA COMPTON is from the heyday of the N.W.A.

negative · AI labelView post →Finally got around to watching Straight Outta Compton. Good film. Up until about halfway through, were they meant to come across as basically just a bunch of music geeks? Wasn't really the impression I had of them before (and the movie showed how that changed of course)

neutral · AI labelView post →For anyone wondering why ICE are currently acting as they are, I suggest (being an old skool hip hop head) that you check out tracks by ICE-T and NWA from the mid to late 80s. Or just watch the movie "Straight Outta Compton": a biographic of NWA and shows what ispired the song "F*** the Police".

positive · AI labelView post →I finally watched Straight Outta Compton. I thought it was a good movie. I know they sanitized Dre in it but for the story purposes I get it. This led me to really listen to N.W.A.. Thought it sounded like Beastie Boys. TIL N.W.A. was influenced by the Beasties. #TMYK #80sRap
positive · AI labelView post →'Straight Outta Compton' (2015) This movie centers around N.W.A., the legendary LA hip-hop group, and its notable members Eazy-E, Ice Cube, and Dr. Dre. It not only narrates the group's journey but also reflects the African American community's realities in California during the '80s and '90s.
