Storyline

In 1987, five young men, using brutally honest rhymes and hardcore beats, put their frustration and anger about life in the most dangerous place in America into the most powerful weapon they had: their music. Taking us back to where it all began, Straight Outta Compton tells the true story of how these cultural rebels-armed only with their lyrics, swagger, bravado and raw talent-stood up to the authorities that meant to keep them down and formed the world's most dangerous group, N.W.A. And as they spoke the truth that no one had before and exposed life in the hood, their voice ignited a social revolution that is still reverberating today. Written by Universal Pictures

Trivia

The original cut of the film was 3 hours and 30 minutes. The cut scenes included Dr. Dre's infamous beating of journalist Dee Barnes, the incident where Dre was shot four times in the leg, and a graphic flashback of his younger brother's death. See more »

Goofs

There is a scene in which Dr. Dre walks into the Death Row studios and finds 2pac in a studio session recording his song "Hail Mary". Dre then proceeds to show 2pac the beat for the song "California Love". In reality 2pac recorded "Hail Mary" in August of '96, six months after "California Love" which was recorded in February of '96. Dre had left Death Row Records months before 2pac began any work on the Album "The Seven Day Theory" which the song "Hail Mary" was on. See more »

Too Many Offensive Words Profaning Jesus And Son Cursing His Own Father.
3 September 2015 | by (Australia) – See all my reviews

{Straight Outta Compton }is a movie everyone must avoid.It has a lot of offensive words ( Profaning Jesus As mother fuc.er) by a blasphemous white man who often shouts in the face of his own dad and describes his own dad as a (mother fuc.er)!!!!. This film instead of teaching people how to respect others ,it has a destructive theme of corrupting the youth and speaks in favor of using random drugs . Parents Beware!. It has unnecessary violence especially against women. Feminists must beware of this movie. Furthermore,there is no single didactic theme in this movie except corrupting teens and instigating boys to rebel and torture their own beloved fathers. All I know is that peaceful rebels who want to get their rights should never ever resort to violence. Concerning the music,it is not my type.This movie's plot is weak. I could not find any suspense in this movie at all except boredom.
