This aint gettin a Oscar jus cause it is what it is....but thid is the best made hip hop movie hands down imo
Usually its a bit of liteweight cheesiness associated wit movies like these and u can tell that the ball was dropped somewhere but this movie was different. It felt like one of those bold, carefully crafted films that usually carry no urban influence at all aka an Oscar bait movie -
? an oscar... most of the movies that won oscars, ppl dont remember. who remembers Precious???
As a movie, if it has a cultural impact, it will live forever. -

Not criminalizing her, just pointing out a contradiction. She spoke out against "misogynistic" music but she was married to a man who contributed to it...

AMAZING movie, if yall noticed, Frank Alexander (Pac's bodyguard RIP) also got some love, he was suppose to be the guy with Suge during the scene at the pool party who calls Suge away where Jerry is looking at Suge Knight from a far. He was rocking a Laker's jersey.
I'm speechless, I had really high expectations and this film blew them out the water, I was satisfied. Suge Knight threw his life away over how he was portrayed in the film SMMFH. It's funny b/c Dre was quiet af even after all that ? , the movie was prolly the first time he actually opened up about it and he didn't even paint Suge to be all that bad compared to how he could have done him. That's crazy how Dre doesn't even own the rights to 2Pac's music and it's a shame because some old jewish woman has the rights to his catalog SMMFH.
The part about him saying "Aftermath" was chilling to me, I liked it, because Dre knew that ship wouldn't last much longer the way Suge was running things - just as Cube knew with Jerry Heller it was only a matter of time. He closed that door and won. Dre was prolly gonna jump ship a long time ago, I think he just wanted to see if he could get the masters. That's why I think he only produced for Chronic, ? and a few songs for Murder Was The Case, Suge prolly realized that early, and that if Dre left so would Snoop, Warren G and the Dogg Pound. It prolly was Suge's narrow-mindedness to try and turn Pac against Dr.Dre so he could latch on to him.
Overall great movie, the competition I think was weak this year so it's possible this could win an Academy Award or at least several nominations. Bridge of Spies, Danish Girl, The Revenant and The Hateful 8 would likely be it's competition. Best Picture, Best Sound, Best Writing Adapted Screenplay, seem possible.
It's definitely a Hip-Hop classic, wish Dre woulda done a video for one of the tracks off his Compton album to carry the film. Always felt that every major movie had that - The Bodyguard/Whitney Houston, 8 MIle had Eminem with Lose Yourself, Batman had Seal, Armageddon had Aerosmith, etc. Woulda been dope af if Dre did that too.
Overall I'd rate it 8.8/10
Pretty sure that was d.o.c. In the laker jersey -

Straight Outta Compton, the album..has returned to the Billboard charts 30 years after its release. Hip Hop Beatles

Wish Eazy was still around...was my favorite rapper growing up. The movie made me dig back into his catalog. Such a character. The voice, the look, the aura, the delivery...never gonna see another one like him.

I sure hope Heller ? ass ain't gettin em -
They aren't gonna give Straight Outta Compton any Oscar noms.
Look at how they did Get On Up, Chadwick should have won for that, he played the hell out of that James Brown role. -
I thought how they portrayed Jerry was very telling. He was a goofy, money hungry laywer but he believed in the group. In a recent Grantland article Jerry said he was not consulted for the film, but that the "No whites allowed" and cops outside the studio part both really happened. He also said he never disliked Cube, he just hated his "No Vaseline" diss and thought it was ridiculous(just like the movie, he used the antisemetic line again lmao). Cube, for his part, said "Ive got no ill will towards Jerry...truth be told we did some incredible ? back then...we we're selling cassettes out of Eazy's trunk before Jerry came into the picture" Suge was much more evil imo..he took Dre away and officially ended the group...and who knows if he had a hand to play in Eazy's death..though ill give him credit for having such a dope ass name like "Death Row" for a gangsta label that featured all time greats like Snoop, Dre and Pac.

then id say Heller killed him. Eazy fired Jerry months before he got sick.

This is a good question. Is Ruthless Records still owned by Tomika Wright?
