BuffaloBud Posted August 14, 2015 Posted August 14, 2015 Very good article on the BBC website today about the background of NWA and west coast rap.
Canadian Bills Fan Posted August 14, 2015 Posted August 14, 2015 I can see this movie getting some Oscar nominations I'm not sure if everyone knows this but the actor who plays Ice Cube is actually Ice Cube's son CBF

The Poojer Posted August 14, 2015 Posted August 14, 2015 I've heard mixed reviews....the main one being that each member of NWA was a producer or something of the movie, so basically they were all made out to be angelic characters or at least resolved everything peacefully in the end. Also heard that it went on a bit long. Heard the early part of the movie, the early years was amazing to watch. Naturally the music/soundtrack is as good as you would expect. I definitely want to see it to form my own opinion, but your review is going to give me a more positive outlook going in Movie was amazing and enjoyed every minute of it! Couldn't have been better casted either. Standing ovation in our theatre.

There is so much to cover that they could have made a mini series out of it. The actors were perfectly cast too. Movie was very accurate to the events, never felt like they were made out to be something they weren't. I was telling soneone last night I would be surprised if it doesn't get at least nominated for some awards including best picture of the year. Ice cubes son was outstanding and a better actor than his dad lol. The kid who plays Eazy E was also fantastic. Even the guy who plays Suge Knight nailed it. Edited August 14, 2015 by Alphadawg7
Just Jack Posted August 14, 2015 Posted August 14, 2015 Considered seeing it but not sure if I want to be the only white person in the theater.
plenzmd1 Posted August 14, 2015 Posted August 14, 2015 (edited) Considered seeing it but not sure if I want to be the only white person in the theater.Pretty sure you won't be almost anywhere. Only time I ever felt uncomfortable was seeing a movie called "Rosewood" about 20 years ago. Ving Rames was the star... True story aboutt an awful night of racial violence in the 20's. My wife an I only Caucasians in a packed theatre in DC. No doubt uncomfortable to walk out an movies end. Edited August 14, 2015 by plenzmd1
Deranged Rhino Posted August 14, 2015 Posted August 14, 2015 Going to a matinee today to check it out. I'm curious to see how it stands up, but I've been looking forward to this flick for awhile now. Glad people are digging it.
CountryCletus Posted August 14, 2015 Posted August 14, 2015 I'm straight out da country so I'm sure this won't be playing in theaters near me....
BillsPride12 Posted August 14, 2015 Posted August 14, 2015 Very good article on the BBC website today about the background of NWA and west coast rap. Link please, I'll always have a soft spot for that era even though I'm more of a rock guy
Philly McButterpants Posted August 14, 2015 Posted August 14, 2015 Not a hip-hop fan. I'll wait for Netflix. (Yawn)

Clippers of Nfl Posted August 14, 2015 Posted August 14, 2015 I used to listen to Ez-e. Not anymore since hes dead. Ice cube has some good songs. Dre is a good producer. However as a rapper, he's just ok.
