“Straight” to the Top
Universal does it again with another number one at the box office, but this time it’s a documentary that’s drawing crowds to the theater and bringing in over 60 million for its opening weekend.
“Straight Outta Compton” is the true story of the early pioneers of the hip hop movement that started it all and follows the life of five teenagers (Dr. Dre, Eazy E, Ice Cube, The D.O.C, and M.C Ren) from the mean streets of Compton, as they move from mistaken gang members to hip hop legends. At two hours and twenty one minutes, the filming is action packed as it clearly shows the drive of the hip hop movement as these five young men deal with corrupt law enforcement that in evidently fuels the inspiration behind some of the biggest hits of the rising group called N.W.A as well as a money hungry producer that offers them a chance of fame, but ultimately is only there for one reason. It’s a documentary that clearly defines what happened in the 90’s from the riots to the backlash of hip hop music and eventually leads to the break up of N.W.A as the five musicians begin their solo careers and break away from their money hungry producer, Jerry Heller.
Ultimately, it’s a movie for any fan of the genre and is highly recommended.
“Straight Outta Compton” is currently playing in a theater near you. See it, you won’t regret it.
