These black guys started off labeled "at the bottom of the barrel" then rose up!

Rating: 10/10 (15 February 2016)

I personally LOVED the movie. I've never been/have ever lived in the hood (so I can't relate); I can say that I felt the pain and struggle that was portrayed by the characters in the movie. The acting was AMAZING. It helped me get an understanding of the lives of black lives (especially males); even to this day racial stereotypes are still going on. The music might not be understood by people that haven't lived the life of N.W.A. But it's exactly what Ice Cube stated: "their art reflects their reality." Again, I've never been to the hood, but I do have an understanding of the struggles that these young black men faced; there are still crooked cops today. It was very informative and full of action. However, if you're not open to learning new things/narrow-minded, you probably won't enjoy the movie! The movie leaves me guessing at the end though, when Eazy-E contracted AIDS, and when Dr. Dre started a new company (Aftermath)..these black men rose to the top; coming from the bottom of the totem pole (labeled that way too). This movie shows anyone can achieve success; as well as how jerk-ish some dirty cops are. By the way, Ice Cube's son is IDENTICAL to him; the "F*** the Police" performance is historical.
