What did you guys think of this movie?
Straight Outta Compton
Nothing, which is why I didn't see it.
My brother also didn't want to, but got suckered into it with his girlfriend. Said it wasn't bad considering he didn't want to bother to begin with haha.

Posted by Angeleyes17I'm not a hip hop fan, but I do like Ice Cube and the other movies that he's played in and produced, so I decided to watch the movie with my son.
What did you guys think of this movie?
Personally, I thought it was a great movie and Ice Cube's son looks so much like him that it was kinda eerie..lol, but overall I thought the movie was done in very good taste. As usual, just shows how the media only reports the negative side of that lifestyle, but we all know there's two sides to every story. Your side, their side and the right side, so I'm glad that Ice Cube was able to put out his version of what their lives were really like and how the threat of living in and around violence every day affected their existence...especially the police, both black and white, which is not a surprise. Good thing is through it all of that, it appear that most of their lives turned out pretty decently.
Watched it, didn't care for it. Overrated. I only watched it to see what bs they were going to try an justify.
Posted by LIb4LifeIm the same. I'm not a big fan of the hip hop but was curious to find out how it all started off.. I enjoyed watchining this. Ice Cube's son was really good. You can tell a part 2 will be made and obviously the story of 2pac will start off.Posted by Angeleyes17I'm not a hip hop fan, but I do like Ice Cube and the other movies that he's played in and produced, so I decided to watch the movie with my son.

It was sh*t.
LOVED IT!!!!! I'm from So Cal though and remember that rap movement vividly as well as all of the controversy surrounding the music, but the shit was bangin...still is. Society became HUGE haters and I feel like they were brave to push forward in something that was innovative at the time, not giving in to societal pressure to conform in order to make money.
They didn't believe in kissing ass.

Posted by Angeleyes17No no no...hip hop didn't start with NWA....oh GOD...lawd help people. Hip Hop started off with groups like A Tribe Called Quest and Digable Planets.

Nothing. Ghetto culture shouldn't be glorified, it's a disease.

My Gemini uncle looks and acts just like Ice Cube. Heck, if he was an actor he couldve played the part.
Darn Geminis, people love them and they love people. Just watching that clip of someone honking at Ice Cube and him acknowledging that person. I grew up watching everyone literally gravitate to my uncle...amazing to see in a way.
Anyway, I have yet to see the movie. My dad was a huge Ice Cube fan and I think he liked Nwa too. I was more of a Tribe Called Quest and De la soul person, although I did love NWA Express Yourself. Their form of hip hop I didnt gravitate too because it I liked nostalgic type melodies. I knew they were big, but never this big. That movie is darn near at the 200million mark.

Posted by WeedsRight...different culture than rap. A sub culture of rap and NWA took that hip hop vibe, wrapped it in gasoline, and set the truth of hood life on FIRE.Posted by MsTeeq1974Jiggalette, DNA, Boogie Boys, Mad Chronic, Mastadon, The Committee, Roxanne, Funk Box, Phat boys, Crazy Eddie, Lord Finesse, Sonic Force, Disco Twins, Furious Five, Fearless Four, Double Trouble, Grandwizard, Cold Crush Bros, Funky Four, Ruthy B, Inspectah Gadget, Sparky D, Spindarella.......Posted by Angeleyes17No no no...hip hop didn't start with NWA....oh GOD...lawd help people.
