Review of Straight Outta Compton (2015) by On-Q — 14 Aug 2015

I'm not going to over analyze this movie. If you're looking up a review you already know what NWA is.

The movie was released at the best possible time with all the current police brutality. Hip-Hop Heads will also appreciate the casting of the movie, Dr.Dre, Eazy-E, Ice Cube, DJ Yella, MC Ren, Snoop Dogg 2pac, and even Eminem all show up in the movie. Like seriously the people they got for all of the NWA members were great. Aside from production they manage to tell their story very well with the very clear and obvious limitations and time constraints you have to a movie. The movie is a bit long though, I can't say exact time but I think probably 3 hours. The movie sends alot of mixed emotions, sometimes its sad, funny, serious, intense, etc.

I'm not a paid reviewer i'm just a hip hop fan but If you love old school rap you will love the movie. Hell I went to go see this movie with friends of mine that don't even listen to rap and they said they liked it. It was long due for this movie to come out as they said years ago there would be a movie. I'm not making this up either but when I went to see the movie I bought a soda and popcorn few hours later its the end of the movie and I forget I got a soda and popcorn.
