Straight Outta Compton Movie - Official Thread (8-14)

[aneed123]

Movie was nostalgic as hell for me.... I think I was in the 8th grade when Eazy passed. Nigga almost teared up. I agree with MasterP on the whole Eazy getting jumped by Suge folk. anyway Great movie.

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.

I think you like a lot of others on this board were looking at the movie from a super Hip Hop head point of view when thats not what they were trying to do hence why they got the big budget/big director to do the movie. Thats what the directors cut is for(lets hope). Either they wanted to get the main points by(how it got started/music drama/beefs/how it ended) or they had no choice from Universal to put it out that way imo.

You guys do realize biopics aren't 100% factual right? Leave that to the documentaries

I'm sure Dre didn't really turn around while leaving Death Row and say "Aftermath" when Suge asked him what he's gonna call his new label.

He wanted the name Black Market but someone already had that name and wanted a lot of money for it IIRC.

Wouldnt that have been some shit with a name like that and his first big artist was Em lol

 

[dj pre-k]

I think Brotha Lynch Hung owned Black market and he was taxin

Eazy Daughter was definitely right about the Dre diss from E not being included nor the Dre Day shit .....both should have been in ....only thing I can think Is that maybe suge blocked him from using it?? Idk either way it should have been apart of the story

Also they alluded to Jimmy Iovine "taking care" of the contract situation but like she said they didn't show that Eazy came up off Dre for the Chronic ..which makes the "Dre Day only make Eazy Pay Day" line classic

Dont know why ppl keep saying this when they never played "Dre Day". Wasnt "Real Muthafuckin G's" released AFTER "Dre Day" Came out?

There was no reason for them to get into that beef in this movie imo. Its a NWA movie, that beef was irrelevant to NWA as a whole.

Dre was a NWA member and Eazy was a NWA member ....what the Fuck are you talking about it had nothing to do with NWA him leaving to go to death row was the reason NWA died ...and furthermore explaining how potent the beef was would have been more accurate to illustrate why the group didn't get back together ...it had become deeper than just jerry heller ...niggas had personal issues with each other and that shit is just as important to the story as including no Vaseline .....all that fabricated bullshit about niggas "getting the group back" was some Hollywood nonsense ..only thing I've ever heard Dre say about that is he never got the chance to squash the beef

Stop being a got damn disgusting fucking groupie you got damn freak .....you just wasn't tryna see Dre get shitted on ....probably leave out of the theater crying like a hoe in mourning

No nigga, NWA died the day Cube left that group(the movie showed u that just in case u werent paying attention). I know the fucking story dumb nigga, aint got shit to do with me being a fan of Dr. Dre. "Dre Day" and "Real Muthafuckin G's" aint got shit to do with a NWA Biopic, u know why? Cause Ren, Yella and Cube aint got shit to do with either one of them songs. Thats all extra shit and they both regret it foh.

Um. zaggin4efiL is a multi-plat nwa album w/o Cube.

lol pretty sure it went multi plat off the NWA name alone but anyway I see u going back through the thread now

 

[the best 1]

Gwyneth Paltrow raps NWA's "Gangsta Gangsta".

 

[newOldSchool]

Is it fair to say that

is a hella better movie than

Too much derick Luke acting silly. Too many performance scenes. Too many unnecessary titty scenes.

 

[dj pre-k]

there can never be too many titty scenes

 

[Trigga T]

there can never be too many titty scenes

"Bye Felicia"

 

[I Self Lord & Master]

Saw 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

Classic

 

[I Self Lord & Master]

n that red bel air suge had.... Mean!!

 

[SELASI_i]

I think Brotha Lynch Hung owned Black market and he was taxin

it was actually ced singleton, who owned black market records, but you right though lynch was on the label. that is still a dope name, as well as black wall street.

 

[marc123]

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.

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.

 

[water ur seeds]

I saw the movie yesterday, FCKN DOPE... Although I wish they made Eazy abit more gangsta, but I guess they wanted the casual fans to warm to Eazy as a good/likeable character...

There were a few inaccuracies, like Pac spitting 'Hail Marry' when Im sure that didnt get recoded until after Dre left Death Row and also Dre didnt want to give Pac the 'California Love' beat... But its a movie...

Also I always thought Dre didnt speak with Eazy on the phone and make peace, which is why he was upset that he didnt get to the hospital in time to make up...

Another thing, like the dude above says they made Cube look like he wrote the first 'Friday' by himself which was off, but I did like the Friday nods in the movie like 'Bye Felicia' in the hotel with the chicks pissed off boyfriend (which most of the cinema didnt pick up on as im the only one that laughed) and the 'you got knocked the fck out' line haha

One question though, who was the dude wearing the Cazals who hung around NWA for most of the movie???

 

[water ur seeds]

Also I was impressed with Cube's sons acting skills... Very impressive, he really looked and acted like an OG Cube, but when he laughed he kinda looked like a Cube/Drake hybrid lol

 

[YapatnaJB]

@"water ur seeds" that guy was Sir Jinx I think your talking about

 

[water ur seeds]

@"water ur seeds" that guy was Sir Jinx I think your talking about

I thought that during the movie, just did a Google search and came up short... Thanks for the confirmation though...
