I finally saw the movie.. I know that people are asking about other possible rap biopics but I don't know if any can top this.. I mean people are mad about the NWA movie leaving out stuff that has nothing to do with the music.. who else in rap has as interesting a story as NWA? People say a Wu Tang biopic would be good, but who else's story from the Wu would be as interesting as Ol ? ? Luke should get one but I'm not sure it will do that well. I know it would ? in the south but I don't know about in the other areas. People care more about the artists personal lives more so than the music. Straight Outta Compton was so well done that I don't see anybody making a movie close to that.

im a new yorker and wu tang is just overrated to me. they had some hits but ODB is annoying, how the ? is he a legend (with all due respect.) the only dope ones were ? ghost and raekwon. RZA shows how corny hee is every day. his acting is terrible too.
-
There's so many stories from Deathrow, that a movie, if done right, would be great. But I'd rather see it as a series.

Society is really ? up
Wait, people are saying its wack??? I havnt heard that... Ive heard people say there are some inaccuracies but thats about it...
yea i read it here and there over the net. i just think some people are weird. they must be from the south
Strange Ive only heard good things, but like I said even Ive pointed out some inaccuracies but said its too be expected due to it being a movie...
Some things could have easily gotten right. The New Music Festival fight was before "No Vaseline." Pac recording "Hail Mary" during the "All Eyes On Me" days wasn't accurate. Dre already having his verse recorded and laid down for Deep Cover when meeting Snoop, when we all know Snoop wrote Deep Cover and Dre's part. All of that ? is inaccurate as hell but that for one second didn't take away from my enjoyment of the movie. My favorite scene's are the most fictional scenes of the movie. The opening scene, in my opinion, is the best scene of the movie and that was total fiction if you talk about accurate. but you get the idea Easy sold dope. You remember the Battering Rams out here in L.A. Those things are fact but maybe they didn't cross paths like they did in the movie but you get the idea of the times and the character. There was nothing "FAKE" about the movie.
Yeah Ive already pointed out them inaccuracies a page or two back, but its a movie its expected there would be a few inaccuracies, they do things in a movie like you say with the first seen, to get points across... I guess that 'Hail Mary' from Pac is pretty strong and well known so fits the bill... -

I LOVED IT!!
WESTSIDE.
I found it more funny that they were talking about some ? wearing Kangol hats while they had heads full of wet, greasy ass jerry curls and just moments prior Yella & Dre was skating around looking like rejects from Prince's Revolution. Lonzo had them tightening up both seconds prior and seconds after like prostitutes being approached by their ? when their money is short. Irony be working like that though.
DUSTY ASS BUCKTOOTH EAST COAST ? TRYNA BRING THEM JHERI CURLS BACK THO .....I MEAN ..THEY ALWAYS LOVED THAT REALLLL WESTSIDE ? .....THATS WHY YOU WAS AT THE MOVIE TO BEGIN WITH.... LMAOOOOO
BESTSIDE>>>>
i remember when jheri curls was a national thing and ? in every state wore them. never wore that ? though it was weird growing up having friends and classmates wearing that ? . i guess they thought it was cool because it michael jackson wore it. -

In real life Suge probably had more dogs and had them attack Dre (and his bodyguards) on his way out.

In real life, Dre left without telling anybody, not even the folks he worked the closest with like Sam Sneed. In fact, Dre leaving pretty much the reason why Sam Sneed got beat up. But imagine what would've happened if Dre really did make the announcement like he did in the movie.... -

JERRY HELLER SUES DR. DRE, CUBE AND 'COMPTON' PRODUCERS FOR DEFAMATION

Jerry Heller is suing everyone connected with "Straight Outta Compton," alleging the movie defamed him ... and he wants $110 MILLION minimum.
Heller has just filed suit against Ice Cube, Dr. Dre, the Estate of Eazy-E, NBC Universal and others, claiming the portrayal of him in the movie was false and damaging.
Heller says he was portrayed as "the bad guy" and "a sleazy manager who took advantage of Eazy-E, Dr. Dre and Ice Cube." And he says there are other lies in the movie, including:
-- He withheld a $75k check from Ice Cube
-- He fraudulently induced Dre and Cube to sign unfavorable contracts
-- He enjoyed lobster brunches while the contracts were being signed
-- He was fired by Eazy-E
He claims he never gave permission to use his likeness and he wants profits from the movie as well because NBC sold tickets off his back. He also claims producers used his book without permission for pivotal scenes, including the one where Suge Knight strong-armed Eazy-E into signing away his rights to Death Row.
And this is funny ... he says producers didn't even bother to give his character a fake name, like "Gary Beller."
You'll recall Heller sat in the front row with his lawyers when the movie premiered.
He's suing for $35 million in compensatory damages and at least $75 mil in punitives ... plus all profits from the flick. -

He can't win. All it takes is for Cube, Dre, Yella and Ren to take the witness stand and say that he ripped them off.
It would be his word against theirs. If I was on the jury I'd believe the 4 surviving members. -

BluRay review
As expected, Universal Studios have delivered a damn pretty Blu-ray for Straight Outta Compton. The transfer is beautifully crisp and clear, while the audio mix really shines, delivering iconic music with gut-punch fidelity and clarity. The disc also features an “Unrated Director’s Cut” of the film, but anyone (like myself) hoping that it might fix the glossed-over problems of the theatrical will be disappointed. Sadly, this version is merely 20 minutes longer, not a radically different version. I suppose the second half isn’t quite as choppy in this form, but the simplistic morality slapped onto NWA remains. Too bad, but given that the movie was a hit, we were never going to get a radically different version.
The special feature section is plentiful, if slight. A few additional deleted scenes are available as well as six 2-8-minute featurettes. Half of these featurettes are about the film’s production and the other half feature original NWA members sharing memories. They’re all pretty fun to watch and professionally produced, but too fast and choppy to deliver much insight. Sadly, the Blu-ray producers’ concerns about appealing to a low attention span audience robbed viewers of a chance of getting an “in-their-own-words” documentary about NWA to run alongside the feature film (Perhaps that’s being saved for a future special edition release. That would certainly make sense). The most substantial special feature is a commentary from director F. Gary Gray who gets into great detail about the challenges of getting the film to the screen that’s quite entertaining and enlightening.
