I'll wait a few weeks. Went to see Next Friday the first night it came out. Lotta whoopin' and hollerin' at that showing. Sometimes stereotypes are true.
Nice Catch. My typing on a keyboard is almost as worse as spelling!
Now that I read my statement it does seem some what racist. That wasn't my intent at all. I'm nervous to watch any movie in a THEATER at this point regardless of the movie.
I ain't straight outta Compton, I'm straight out the trailer...
Cube's son looks and sounds just like him. Saw a preview of the scene where Dre is creating the Nothing but a G Thang beat [smoke]
I'm going to go see it at the last showing possible over at Woodhill in Lexington.
I want to see it but I'm kind of sad that it's a historical dramatization of something I'm old enough to remember. 
I'd actually feel pretty safe going to see thsi one in theaters. I'd expect the demographic of this one to be the type to be packing so we'd be safe if some psycho guy tried to come hatchet me to death.
I'll either see it at the end of its run in theaters or check it out on Netflix/Red Box when it hits there. I used to jam NWA when I was a kid. This makes me feel old.
Probably WILL NOT be watching in theaters because Im not racist but a lot of people in this area are.
All the middle aged white dudes are gonna be first in line to see it. Gotta relive this OG days from college.
Im sure this has been mentioned but just a throwback...In Boyz in the Hood, the thief that snatched the guys necklace and tried to run but was caught and beatdown had a "Eazy does it" tshirt on. This was around the time the NWA members were dissing each other. coincidence? Ive seen this movie a billion times and just the other day noticed that shirt.
People who are afraid to watch movies at theaters after seeing news of a shooting are the same people who won't get on an airplane after they see news of a plane crash. As of 2013 there were almost 40,000 movie theater screens in the United States. Say each of those screen a movie 3-4 times a day, as is typical for a movie theater. Thats 100,000+ showings a day, 36+ million showings a year. How often do people die in movie theaters? You have a much better chance of dying on the drive to the movie theater than dying inside of it.
I think King Tee was from Compton as well. I would rather they stick to the 87-91 period rather than expand into the Snoop Dogg days. I bet they won't play "Fat Girl" or "Dunk the Funk".
saw an interview with dre recently. he said the first time back then he realized, "wow" about NWA hitting the big time was when they were on their first tour at a show in Kentucky and the whole crowd was white.
Probably. I looked up their tour dates and it appears the closest show was in cincy. I guess he just recalls it as Kentucky because of the proximity/stereotypes. I bet they looked at a map back in the day and were like, "oh ****, Kentucky. Are you serious?". Then it turned out ot be all whites singing along to the lyrics so that's how it's stuck in his memory.
Really enjoyed it. Brought back some old middle school memories.
Pretty big goof by everyone depicting Eazy E wearing the black/white Chicago White Sox cap all through the movie. That design didn't come out until 1991.

the big goof is the hats in general. nwa wore snapbacks exclusively, not fitted as portrayed in the movie. huge authenticity fail there. the sox design on the other hand, at least eazy did actually wear it from 91 until he died in 95. the movie covers 10 years i believe so at least it's partially accurate.
