"The NWA biopic Straight Outta Compton has run into a serious snag, and Fantastic Four is to blame. Michael B. Jordan, who set haters aflame when he was cast as Johnny "The Human Torch" Storm, was being eyed to play a young Dr. Dre in the drama about the trailblazing rap group. However, Fantastic Four's shooting schedule has made him unavailable. Now producers are scrambling to find a cast to play teen-to-twenty-something versions of Dr. Dre, Ice Cube and the late Eazy-E.

THR reports Jordan was a casting choice favored by Dr. Dre himself. He and Ice Cube are serving as producers on Straight Outta Compton, along with Eazy-E's widow, Tomica Wright. All three of these producers clearly have a vested interest in how NWA is presented in the film, and part of their powers include casting approval. But with Jordan out, there's no clear runner-up."

found this a while back. Michael B. Jordan was supposed to be dre. But that abomination fantastic 4 took up his scheduling time. lol

Interesting.

Dude looking stupid he could've brought star up especially with how sucessful the movie been.

I call bullshit on easy getting jumped by suge folk and dre talking shit and punching folk

Bro it's well documented that Dre was getting into a lot of shit. Warren G even said he was the wildest in the crew. Just Cuz you not a gangsta don't make you a bitch. And after what Suge did To Vanilla Ice I believe most of the stories about him. That nigga just ran a dude over in cold blood. Suge was bout that life period.

Suge Knight is a myth lol. Dude is straight WWE and people fall for it all of the time

You really think a skinny dude (nicknamed Bone) is just gonna run up on someone the size of Suge? Terry wasn't no little guy either

I seem niggas shorter than me whoop niggas ass that was at least 6'5 so what you saying

I've been that dude to whoop dude's twice and three times my size as well.

But them bigger dudes just probably ain't know how to fight and was All Bark & No Bite becuz they were assuming you'd be the same way.

And in Suge's case he was goin against Two Dudes, one close to his size and another Strapped. He knew he was gonna die becuz Suge ain't a fighter no more. The Nigga handicapped and just had multiple attempts on his life. Wasn't no safe route to escape to.

Suge is short for Sugar which in his case is short for Sugar Bear #Pause

That means dude wasn't as evil as he's been made out to be. I don't know the guy personally but I don't know of any person in history that ever had a nickname that they didn't earn/personify to some degree.

So is that why Debo from Friday's nickname is Tiny?

I was waiting for somebody to use that as an example.

Now, have you ever known someone named after something sweet that didn't embody it in some type of way?

Didn't think so.

Ice Cube got his nickname by being "cold with the ladies on some Pimp Shit"

Snoop got his name from the cartoon that he loved as a little kid

etc etc

Do your history on Marion Knight the Man before you jump to conclusions by the legends (and distortions) of Suge Knight. You'd be surprised

Are you Suge's cheerleader? Unless you know him personally you really don't know more about him then everyone else. Eazy claimed Suge threatened his mom and shit. Dude was a villain in the nwa movie cuz he was a villain in real life.

I don't blame black women for not supporting this movie though. Dre was a black woman beater & rapped many anti black women lyrics and Cube was a huge misogynist. A lot of Black people also feel NWA was a COINTELPRO scam used to further hoodwink the youths in the hoods across America. I'm not much about conspiracy theories but it's not far fetched to see why they would think that. So don't expect every black person you see to want to see or be into seeing this movie.

Wow, that is an odd rumor. Never heard that one before. It's pretty silly tho. I mean, who were the conintelpro agents? Jerry Heller, Brian @ Priority, the d.o.c.? lol

Who do you work for and why shouldn't Suge get the benefit of the doubt?

And as far as Ms. Wright is concerned, who's to say that E wasn't blowing shit out of proportion like normal business people who just lookin to get paid?

You know just as much about Suge as you do Eazy-E truth be told
 
Just saw this tonight. My thoughts:

1. The movie was a bit self-serving to Cube and Dre who produced the movie.

2. Cube got WAAAAY more mic-time than Eazy and definitely Ren. Why do we need to hear Cube's verse on fuck the police twice?

3. Eazy came off bad. They show him downgrading his house, and breaking up weed instead of him firing back with Real Muthafuckin G's. I dunno, history is written by the winners I guess.

4. The guy that they got to play Yella looked just like him.

5. It will be interesting to see Cube's son in another role.

 
a lot of the happenings in the movie, like the record smashing by Cube, the Detroit riot by the police after they told the group don't play the Fuck the Police, the interview afterwards when Cube threw that shot at Eazy, and all the turmoil with the contracts and why Cube left, was all spread by word of mouth back then. No internet to instantly report it. And to see it played out on the big screen 25 years later is epic. I remember my boy telling me that Ice Cube used to write Eazy's rhymes. Then he put me on to the NWA and the Posse album, where you get a taste of a young DOC and other members of the group the movie don't even mention.

yella was straight comedy throughout the movie. he was only about the females

and seeing him laugh at No Vaseline was classic. he knew that was the end of the group because the chicks were digging the disses as well. When Ren jumped up and demanded they get a reply ready, Yella was like, "NO". Just seeing their reactions each bar was funny as hell, they were hurt by each line that came out those speakers. NWA was dead at that point.

too bad Cube and Dre weren't into showing themselves in a negative light, it would have been funny to see when MobStyle chased NWA off the Apollo stage in NY.

aw it earlier today

That opening scene was great start to the movie...and them banging out tge bus windoW too

Fave.scene was when they had dude under the table wit the dog on him...that was some vicious shit

Great movie

Shit touched me and made me proud to be black

Cant recall the last time a,movie did that honestly....been years upon years

Classic
 
finally saw it.

They jus skimmed over 100 miles and running. Yet played pretty much ALL of No Vaseline with reactions.

They made it seem like Cube wrote Friday all by himself. um DJ Pooh

SMH. They kinda made Eazy look like a sucker in the end. Beggin Cube and Dre for a reunion. Then STRESSED that E went from a mansion to the regular house.

Good to hear Bone get mentioned and seein the "Bone" tape next to Eazy's death bed was a super nice touch.

and Bone Thugs deserved a mention at the very end when they were speaking on NWA's off spring. (50, Em, Snoop etc). Bone was Eazy's last gift to the world b4 he died.
