Rating: 6/10 (26 March 2020)

I liked watching this film enough to keep watching it. But, this film has a few historical inaccuracies because it has been Hollywoodized to some extent. What this film lacks is the full brutal reality of how the members of N.W.A. did terrible things to become famous and have powerful careers during a time where white supremacy influenced the American government that caused black people to be unrealistically depicted as criminals, gangsters, and drug addicts just because they were black people even though black people were the ones being unfairly oppressed by white people and black people who worked for the American government. Honestly, this film didn't pay enough attention to all members of N.W.A. It focused on Eazy-E, Dr. Dre, and Ice cube the most. Speaking of members of N.W.A. Members of N.W.A, Snoop Dogg, black activists, and other people were finishing what Martin Luther King Jr, Malcolm X, and Stokely Carmichael started after the 1960's to make sure that black people had equal access to opportunities in America. However, this film made Eazy-E look increasingly weak in this film in an insulting way. Ice Cube became a Hollywood sell-out and was a pugnacious jerk to girls and guys. Dr. Dre was arrogant when he was young until he got screwed over in the music industry that had censorship, soul-selling contracts that underpaid artists, and manipulative perverts who were discreetly doing drugs, pedophilia, brainwashing of their clients, sexual harassment, B.D.S.M, and other things. That's why the celebrities got psychologically screwed up in the music industry. Celebrities became drug addicts, pedophiles, brainwashed, sexual predators, and immoral opportunists in the music industry. I feel that members from the N.W.A. got psychologically screwed up and got more corrupt in the music industry. I could feel the pain, struggling, hustling, and sincerity in the actors when they portrayed the characters in this film. So, I appreciate what the actors did in this film. I don't think O'Shea Jackson, Jr. looks like Ice Cube. O'Shea Jackson, Jr. and Ice Cube have their physical differences if you pay good attention to both of their bodies. From my experience, I think O'Shea Jackson, Jr. and Ice Cube are both handsome, talented, smart, and assertive hustlers who get things done. Jerry Heller looks like the Hollywoodized Jew that would screw someone over in the music industry. Besides that, this film has great music, good enough writing, talented actors, scenes that are convincing, and a diversity of characters representing real people to some extent.
