Good biographic movie

Rating: 7/10 (24 August 2018)

Music is a big part of my life, hip-hop being one of my favourite genres and I've been listening to NWA pretty much since they became famous so naturally I was keen to check this out, especially as I didn't know a great deal about the actual history of the group. Eazy E was arguably NWA's most colourful & controversial member and much of the film is focused on him. On the other hand Yella (who I saw live last year) and Ren sadly don't get much screen time. And apparently there are omissions in actual events too.
I was in LA on my first trip to the USA during the Rodney King incident, I remember it well, and this is touched upon effectively several times throughout. The film is well made, has a good cast, obviously (if you like rap) has a great soundtrack & despite it's 2.5 hours running time it never gets boring. Great footage in the closing credits too, so keep watching!
