I saw "Straight Outta Compton" and I enjoyed it

Was it semi-realistic ? I did some reading on NWA and of course they left out stuff.

Did you enjoy it ? What did you think ?

1. As I commented to my good friend, DSB ...

I saw Straight Outta Compton. It was good ... though I didn't like how they portrayed Eazy-E. They had him as the Sucker.

I heard an interview with Master P, who called BS on the part where E got beat down by Sug Knight's boys. Master P didn't have a problem that E got beat down; but, said E wasn't that dude. He might have taken a beating; but, anyone that knew E, knows it wouldn't have ended there ... AND, no one could've talked him out of it, least of all a promoter/manager ... which brings me back to having E as the sucker.

But I loved the music ... knew every word to every song.

I've read the manager Heller is now suing the company that made SOC.

3. I don't know about the manager; but, would suggest ...

that his suing answers the accuracy of how he was portrayed ... throughout the movie, he was all about "covering his end" ... and it seems he hasn't changed.

I do know that the movie played DOWN Suge Knight's image ... a lot!

4. I haven't seen it yet but considering I have rocked Straight Outta Compton in every car I've ever

had for the last 20 years and became an undying Ice Cube lover as a result, it's just a matter of time before I do.

One of my absolute favorite solo Ice Cube tracks. Cussing, over the top and totally unnecessary sexism, it's all there. Break out the fainting couch!

That Atomic Dog sample in it is KILLING it!!!!!
