Straight Outta Cinema

Rating: 6/10 (10 September 2015)

Being someone that doesn't care at all about the history of this music group, let alone rap and hip-hop itself, Straight Outta Compton was a little hard for me to settle into. At first it reminded me of eighties gangster films, before leaping into some 8 Mile type of film. Purely a personal thing, Straight Outta Compton neither made me enjoy the film, nor convert me to the hip-hop dark side.
Though I respect the film and the hardships the rap group went through, Straight Outta Compton was not a film I really would invest my time into. In a current society where the golden age of hip-hop is emerging, I find myself running behind the bus, or realistically taking a different path. Not a film for all, but still somewhat fun to endure.
