It's enticing, invigorating, and a harsh mirror for the people that lived in the late 80's and early 90's, and today's people too...

Rating: 8/10 (12 March 2017)

A lot of people are saying that this movie glamorizes the thug life, and it portrays the protagonists as heroes even though they're bad role models etcetera etcetera. The truth is, this movie is down right amazing. The plot, the casting, the producing, whatever, it's all good. Straight Outta Compton simply shows the struggle that the rap pioneers endured in their era. Racism was a big deal, and so was police brutality. The 80's and 90's had the same problems that we have today. that's why 'Fuck Tha Police' was so controversial. This movie is telling it how it is, or was. People are just mad because this movie shows the reality of America and its police. Alright, the movie is a little embellished. They exaggerated some of the events, and cut out others, but that doesn't change the struggle. That doesn't change that the police were dicks, and that doesn't change NWA's talent. Nobody likes to look in the mirror, and that is what this movie is; it is a mirror for white America.
