Straight Outta Compton tells the true story of how five young cultural rebels - armed only with their lyrics, swagger, bravado and raw talent - stood up to the authorities that meant to keep them down and formed the world's most dangerous group, N.W.A. And as they spoke the truth that no one had before and exposed life in the hood, their voice ignited a social revolution that is still reverberating today.

Totally a Political movie. Probably funded by some black lives matter people or something. As if they were just voices of change wanting to be heard. No! They were thugs, for gods sakes, people! They wore it on their sleeve too. Thugs. Who are not man enough to really try to beat the system. Instead they just keep fueling an already bad problem by talking about how bad they have it. Now don't get me wrong, I am not a racist! I just have so little respect for people like this. But I don't wish them bad.

Even though I can't say I knew much about NWA before watching the movie, I felt like every scene was predictable. It isn't a bad movie and you can watch it of the strength of the music alone but the story doesn't elevate the movie from there. Acting is a plus mark and I'm willing to bet it sticks pretty close to the truth. A must watch for fans, but an easy pass for everyone else.

Overall it was a decent flick. I'm a fan of all the street story come up movies. This had decent acting, a excellent storyline about the come up of some of raps biggest names, and a great soundtrack. Still not as good as ICE CUBES movie Boyz in the Hood. But deff worth watching. And if you still can't get enough ghetto. Pop in gta san Andreas and do a drive by. And crack some skulls with a bat.
