Current Events > Just watched Straight outta Compton, a downright fantastic movie about NWA

(+) Yeah! (+)

Ice Cube, Dre, all of them.

This movie is great. At first I thought this movie was a documentary with the picture of ice cube on the poster.

Then I realized... Holy shit thats not ice cube. The casting they got to play ice cube is fantastic he looks exactly like him. Then I realized again: that's literally his real life son playing his dad lol. That's frigging awesome.

The movie is about NWA starting out and growing popular, then the eventual falling out of some of the members due to managerial contract issues, with ice cube and eventually dre leaving to become ice cube and dr dre.

The movie ends with them about to reunite just before easy-e finds out he's hiv positive and dies, a bit sad. But the movie end credits show the impact they had on society and culture in America and even worldwide.

Ice Cube is played by his actual son, hence the likeness.

Just read more of the post lol.

Yeah fuckin great movie. Loved the guy they got for Easy.

I need to watch that movie again. It's great.

It also has some nice to see cameos of other rappers notably 2pac and snoop dog. Seeing how it all started like this really gave a sense of history, seeing their beginnings like this. It was very entertaining
