Straight Outta Compton
It started with five angry young men from Compton who just wanted to be heard through their music. This powerful and intense story is about the rise and split up of the gangsta rap group N.W.A. featuring Eazy-E, Ice Cube, & Doctor Dre. Growing up with police harassment & brutality in their neighborhood has influenced and impacted their controversial explicit lyrics. Audiences will be treated to a detailed look at the people behind the music that rocked the nation during the Rodney King era. Non rap fan Alien did enjoy their music under the context of this movie. Of course this 2 ½ hour film is rated "R" for the violence, drugs, nudity, and language embedded in the lives of these gangsta rappers. The acting is superb and feels brutally honest by the young talent. O'Shea Jackson perfectly captures his dad's (Ice Cube) essence.
Alien gives it 3 ½ "reality rapping" stars out of 4.
