Straight Outta Compton on to the big screen

Rating: 8/10 (18 August 2015)

No Spoilers because I grew up around the same time that Rap Music was growing and this is a story that no many would know about so I'm keeping it spoiler free for those who don't know the history of the group N.W.A.
I knew about Dr.Dre and Ice Cube from their solo careers and their other work as well.
It wasn't until "Behind The Music" that I discover both were in a group called N.W.A. But over the years I gain knowledge about the Group and listen to their songs it makes you go wow this group really had something.
Straight Outta Compton is a Biography/Drama film that tells the story of how N.W.A. emerges from the streets of Compton in Los Angeles with their music and tales that explain the life in the hood. I went into this movie knowing some history but what I got here was I never saw coming
The movie theater wasn't full but it had a good crowd
The five men would be Ice Cube, Dr.Dre, Eazy-E, MC Ren and Dj Yella.
The film present itself very well and it is crafted to match the tone of the story where we learn about the history of N.W.A.
The performances in this film are actually so well done that you can feel the emotion. It really hit home in some scenes plus with some impressive performance it is easy to forget that you were watching a movie.
The music in the film has a collection of the classic Hip Hop songs from the mid 80s and 90s. It really good how they gave other classic songs some play time in the movie
My main complain about the movie is the slow down that take place. It was like they stall the film for a while perhaps it's me but that's how I felt.
But if you enjoy movies about music than this should be consider seeing.
While the film does lack in some areas it does make up for being truth to the style of N.W.A.
With strong acting, raw music and good history on the group that made Hip Hop like it is you will be quite surprised I give Straight Outta Compton an 8 out of 10
