    Great Film ill just copy and paste my LCA post
    Just watched this today. This was much better than i anticipated hell of a film.. and ill take back my comments scoffing at the idea that this should receive Oscar consideration. It take me back to a time when Rap was catching hell from political figures and the most infamous crime of police brutality of that time. Which at the time i was aware of being 11. This summer i went in the crates on Ice Cube and NWA as i was too young at that point. But yeah this joint can be seeing as part history, part social bookmark, part coming of age film. It was pretty long but i didn't feel like i suffered through it it was a good watch.

    Whoever came up with the quote on the cover is genius......"THE GROUP THAT DEFINED A GENERATION BECOMES THE MOVIE OF OUR TIME"

    Ill leave this open for a few more days, watched the directors cut last night and a couple things....

    1. The deleted scenes were deleted for a good reason, wasnt many tho.

    2. The extra parts that were omitted from the on-screen movie were noticeable, I wont spoil it but they went more into detail on a couple things that a lot of ppl were complaining about after watching it when it first came out.

    Great cop.

    Just watched the directors cut & special features.

    Bone Sloan is in a few of the special features. Looks like he was a regular on the set.

    They had Paul Giamatti dressed up like Jerry Heller, rockin a gold ? chain, hittin switches in a lowrider. It was GOAT

    DJ Jazzy Jeff actually did the scratches on that dope mux Dre is spinning when he & cubes characters 1st come together.

    Gunna watch it again tonight with director commentary. Maybe that will finally solve the straws mystery.
