Rated: R
Score: 8.3/10 stars

On. Aug 14, 2015, the highly anticipated “Straight Outta Compton” was released in theaters, a film based on true events about the developing hip hop group, N.W.A, in the 80s and 90s.

I personally saw Straight Outta Compton in theatres twice! It was the best movie I had seen in years. The movie had you bumping, feeling everything from excitement, to anger, to tears. I would highly recommend this movie for any hip hop fans.

Ice Cube, one of the ex-members of the group “N.W.A” helped produce and direct the movie, and casted his son O’shea Jackson Jr. as a younger version of himself. On Aug 11, Ice Cube was interviewed on “Entertain This.” Upon being asked about his son’s role in the movie, he stated, “He did an amazing job, you know, he’s fantastic in the movie, and all the actors are great, so I just can’t wait until the world sees Straight Outta Compton.”

On March 26, 1995 one of the members of N.W.A , “Eazy-E” died of AIDS, halting his effort to try and get the group N.W.A back together for another collaboration.

In the movie, Ice Cube talks about how he has his last moments with Eazy-E right before he passed away. “Our conversation is in the movie, these are things that people don’t know about, it’s just cool for them to get a glimpse on how it really was, you know? Outside of beats, and rhymes and records, you know? Whatever success and fame gives you, this is a look behind all of that on how we was with each other,” said Ice Cube.

The actors casted as Dr.Dre, Ice Cube, Eazy-E, etc. said they were more than honored to take part of this production.

Jason Mitchell plays the role of Eazy-E in the Straight Outta Compton movie. “When I first met Dre and Cube, they embraced me, in a very humble manner, almost as fans at what I do, and I thought that was real big of them. For them to make me so comfortable was great. They’re always rooting me on, always in my corner, they give me small pointers on who Eazy was, but for the most part they’re just here supporting me.”

Straight Outta Compton is rated an 8.3 out of 10 stars. The public loves the movie and it continues to get amazing feedback and reviews.
