The NWA Movie "Straight Out Of Compton" Who is going to watch it?
 

I personally love anything NWA. Was so real and raw when they came out with their music. It hit so hard and had a lot to say. Such an awesome story that needs to be told.


Their story proves you can come from anywhere and be anything you want in life if you go after your dreams.


This is one movie I do plan on going to see.

Of course I'll watch it!

I was never really an NWA, but I've liked Dre's solo stuff, some of Ice Cube's solo stuff and a bit of Eazy-E....I wouldn't consider myself a huge fan or anything. (Though I have been listening to "Gangsta Gangsta" since discovering that GWAR was inspired by it for the first verse of "The Salaminizer."

But the movie does seem interesting. I'll probably watch it once it hits OnDemand, similar to Jersey Boys.

downloading now

I will. Looks like a flashback fest.

I'm a fan of NWA but I won't see the movie in theaters or even in DVD when it comes out. The movie will whitewash history, present the members of NWA in the best light possible, amplify their struggle to get a record deal with a major label and so on.

Going back to elementary school I read everything I could get my hands on about them in newspapers, magazines and books; which i feel gives a better representation of what actually happened.

i still got my fukin album!

anyone got a link ?

Me too!! Got the album and the tape.


This is also a bad ass interview of Dr. Drea. The 1st one in years. Its long, but if your a fan, its worth a listen.

I've always been a Tracy Lauren Marrow fan ..... “I’ll give up my gun when everyone else does… the right to bear arms is because that’s the last form of defense against tyranny, not to hunt. Its’s to protect yourself from the police.”

i grew up on this shit. ghetto boys lil half dead the doc mc ren eazy e cube dru down dj quik kid frost house of pain biggy nas biggie pac mc breed dougy fresh special ed slick rick cool j epmd kool g rap lil weezy master p damn i could go on

Hard work and a dream! These guys are serious proof of that.


Have you seen this?

This is by far one of the funniest scenes Ice Cube was ever in. I was laughing my ass off! A must watch!

Keep in mind The white kids character is under cover in a college and Ice Cube is his captain and in charge of this undercover operation.

Eazy-E was a down low homo.

i could give you the full details. anyway they are memories. i was like 13 when i met ice t didnt really know who he was. i forgot how we got the tickets :1orglaugh we also worked the phoenix suns games free tickets. when they didnt have an arena. they played at the fair grounds on 19th ave and mc dowell at the fair grounds. too short was at kiwanis park im going to facebook him (like he will answer) he's very kool maybe he will

You mentioned it was celebrity theater so we know how you got in but what was chump like ice-t doing there with notorious crips gangsta? I bet he was kissing up and asking you if could join the crew.

i didnt but will. 80's-90's was hell on earth :2 cents::2 cents: ice cube was in one of the deadliest gangs in cali and made it out! rollin 60's dude has the drive of a lion to get away from them.

actually he was in the harlem crips rollin 30's. he is not a mean person looks out for the youth.

His longtime girlfriend was a Criplet--a female Crip gang member in Los Angeles, California. He is the first hip-hop MC to perform the notorious C-Walk dance in front of cameras in the early 1980s. His longtime partner was Darlene Ortiz. They have one son together, Tracy Marrow Jr.

Yep, that's what that dl polesmoker loved...Boyz in da Hood!

Here's a good doc. Directed by Ice Cube.

and here's a great Ice Cube interview...



and one with Eazy...

great line from Real Compton City Gs give recent events...

and at death row I hear ya get treated like boot camp
gotta follow your sergeant’s directions
or get your ass popped with a smith and wesson

It was an awesome time when they came out. I'll definitely go see it.

I was listening to some Public Enemy this week forgot Ice Cube is down with the PE.

I can't wait to see it!

Mockery.

:2 cents:

Don't you wish they stopped doing it to US national anthem too

Was listening to that live stuck on the 405 on my way into the Hustler office. A bunch of the homies are coming out down here in OC to watch this opening day. The group has had an amazing impact, both collectively, and on individual projects for so much of So Cal. I can't fucking wait!

i stand by my statements. im not sure if ice t is as humble as when he didnt have money.

bounce 2 dis

I'll be having a watch of it for sure :thumbsup

Eazy E built what they had off his drug money.

That's just PR bullshit to make him sound hard. He really made that money as a boy prostitute.

BRassmonkey is taking me for a screening.

Thanks for this thread Dave. I had no idea this movie was in the works. Damn right I'm gonna watch it. One of my favorite albums of all time.

Brassmonkey....Pics or it didn't happen.

Yes I will be watching this one!

Explains how he got the AIDS....

Geto Boys make NWA look like the Spice Girls.

bumping this shit cause it's later this week :thumbsup

I'm bummed my home town isn't showing it.. Gotta hate bible belt Indiana. So I'll wait a week or two and go to South Bend or Fort Wayne, IN and catch it.. Can't wait!

Sure, I 've found out about movie recently and can't wait to see it. Meanwhile I am litenting Ice Cube's The Predator album last several days, on repeat.
