I paid 13$ plus a soda and a drink. 42 minutes into the movie I left. Way too much hype over this movie. The acting was poor and the movie went no where slowly. Save your money and wait for the Redbox DVD.

I was not able to count the numbers of the words **** and **** but I think they came out about even. And the treatment of women? This is a lousy example of successful blacks. Hard working honest blacks should picket this cesspool of ideasI was not able to count the numbers of the words **** and **** but I think they came out about even. And the treatment of women? This is a lousy example of successful blacks. Hard working honest blacks should picket this cesspool of ideas before it spills out onto the streets.

Rap music is done by people who can't sing, write lyrics, or play an instrument .

This movie glosses over the racism of N.W.A., particularly towards Koreans, and tries to lionize them as courageous civil rights heroes being held down by the white man. The reality of N.W.A. is that they were a group who conveyed an image of toughness and rebellion to rake in the money from their gullible fans who had no idea the group was faking it.

You can tell Dr Dre and Ice Cube were behind this movie. The entire plot casts them in a favourable light while dropping advertisements in between for their labels.

The entire plot casts them in a favourable light while dropping advertisements in between for their labels.
