Express yourself

Rating: 7/10 (2 September 2015)

The film illustrated the ongoing conflict and tensions that still exist in the USA between the urban black youth and the police.
The central characters in the movie were Dr Dre, EazyE, Ice Cube and Jerry Heller. There were great performances from the actors who played Ice Cube (Jackson Jr) and EazyE (Mitchell )steeling the show.
NWA didn't create 'Gangsta Rap'but they were the ones that took it to the masses and made it popular. Central to this revolution was Dr Dre played by Hawkins and the rhythms written by Ice Cube.
The key to this movie was the relationship that existed between each major protagonist how that relationship developed, matured then fell apart.
The break down in the relationship of each major character was very public at the time this wasn't properly captured in the film, this is what lets it down. This is probably done not to give rise to any new disputes (beefs) and to respect those that have passed.
As the central focus of the story was on the relationship of the group and not those that existed in conjunction with the group so relationships that the rappers developed with their spouses were not fully explained, spouses appearing out of the blue making you wonder were did he or she come from
The film isn't overly violent or nudity jumping out at you each minute. Overall it was a good movie and I was surprised how quickly 150 minutes flew by. From the way the movie concluded I wouldn't be surprised to see a sequel in the near future
