In 1987, five young men, using brutally honest rhymes and hardcore beats, put their frustration and anger about life in the most dangerous place in America into the most powerful weapon they had: their music. Taking us back to where it all began, Straight Outta Compton tells the true story of how these cultural rebels—armed only with their lyrics, swagger, bravado and raw talent—stood up to the authorities that meant to keep them down and formed the world’s most dangerous group, N.W.A. And as they spoke the truth that no one had before and exposed life in the hood, their voice ignited a social revolution that is still reverberating today.

"Not a documentary fyi. A good docudrama but it should show you that the business people/interests behind the icons are more important than the icons. RIP hip-hop because those business interests turned her into the chimera that we’re dealing with now. "

"It’s not that the movie was “bad”. I just disliked the drugs, naked women, and explicit language (which I knew about before starting the movie but we were forced to watch it in class for an assignment). "
