Straight Outta History

Rating: 10/10 (24 August 2015)

I have read a bunch of the reviews. An awful lot of the reviews are trying to start a race flame war that with ignorance and just sad, sad words. Let's get something straight. This movie doesn't glamorize the time that it is portraying. It doesn't paint the members of N.W.A. as saints and healers. They are the product of what was around them. They are men who took their talent and made music that entertains millions and reaches across racial lines to unify us as a people to understand that we don't have to be oppressed. We don't have to be scared. The used the weapon of the time to strike back and the MAN did not like it. He came after them with and tried to intimidate but they didn't back down. None of them. This movie took me back to that time. I remember all of that turmoil. The strife the change in music. Now, I look at it and say these guys did something. This movie may take a few liberties with the stories. They change a lot of things but it captures the essence of N.W.A. If you want to taste the late 80's - mid 90's. To get a feel of how it was check this movie out. You'll be impressed.
