Ha, I remember those boot leg tape vendors. Nothing was off limits, you gave your 3 bucks, and hoped you got a good copy. I remember a hilariously douchey moment from my childhood with one of those vendors, I remember I was looking for a copy of Tim Dogg's "Penicillin on Wax", and I couldn't find it, so I ask the guy where it was, and from the side of me I hear "there it is, shorty you know what you're buying?". I look, and it's this diesel ass X-clan looking hebrew with the Zulu nation and Back to Africa leather medallions that were popular on the east coast back then, and I figure "oh, shit, I'm gonna get one of those 'stop stealing our culture lectures'", so I start naming harder groups to prove my bonafides, and then for some reason, I belt out the first few verses to "Fuck Compton".

Then a few seconds later he just starts laughing and goes something like "you good guy, you good"  ;D  :-\. I can't fathom how assholish it must of looked, but in my little 13 year old mind I was "Yes, the brothers know I'm down!!!!".

I visited a bad part of town a couple of weeks ago. It was like coming to another continent being there. Felt like I was getting jacked at any moment with hungry looks eating me up from every dark corner, in the middle of the day.

But they didn't. And that basically makes me gangsta for reals because I must have had sent out such a mean vibe just walking there.

Post by: BB on August 17, 2015, 10:23:09 PM
Alright, just saw this, and I give it a floating score of 6.5 - 7.5/10.

The Bad Points -

Way too much idol worship of Dre, all of the major members get soft peddled a bit, but Dre is the most glaring.  They make him way harder than he is reported to be in real life. He's beating dudes, running them off, even backing down Suge (and posse) all by his lonesome. Also no talk of his women beating ways, which was somewhat major fact and rumor during those years.

It can't decide if it wants to be a comedy or a drama sometimes. And when it goes for comedy it falls flat sometimes. And that's not to say that it's prefect at drama, as it's ham handed a few times in that regard too. This is due both to the newness of the actors to their craft, and the shoehorning of modern SJWarrior type writing into the script.

The casting runs from great to :-\. I had high hopes for Paul Giamatti, and came away with a very lukewarm opinion of him in this role.

He played Heller as sort of a wishy-washy guy with no force of conviction next to NWA, and with more comedic value. If you've ever seen Jerry Heller interviewed, he's anything but. He's a tough old music executive.

Giamatti should've been more "Deniro as Ace Rothstein", and less "John Candy as  Del Griffith", to make an analogy.

Also, very little DJ Yella, and MC Ren. They were both good in their parts.

There were also a few historical scenes where they could've committed more and a darker way to the story telling, but it wasn't too bad.

The Good -

All the concert scenes, and most of the studio scenes range from very good to rock solid.

Most of the historically backdrop scenes are well thought out and done.

Not a huge problem with the casting of Ice Cube or Eazy.

The small, but pivotal role of Suge was handled well, with that actor doing yeomen's work in an easy to miscast part.

Also the minor characters were played well (e.g. Tupac, Snoop, etc....).

Alright, just saw this, and I give it a floating score of 6.5 - 7.5/10.

The Bad Points -

Way too much idol worship of Dre, all of the major members get soft peddled a bit, but Dre is the most glaring.  They make him way harder than he is reported to be in real life. He's beating dudes, running them off, even backing down Suge (and posse) all by his lonesome. Also no talk of his women beating ways, which was somewhat major fact and rumor during those years.

Great film. Also, 'I'm Gonna Git You Sucka' from the 80s, which exploited blaxploitation films of the 70s. Chris Rock was in both.

I remember the whole East Coast vs. West Coast shit and how serious suburban teens took it.  I was at a club on the east coast and they played Tupac and the club nearly erupted into a riot.  Fucking clowns. Best part it wasn't even blacks, it was whites and Asians getting all mad about the DJ playing west coast rap

Was in a club and some people claimed it for east side. Will, since most east side rap music has crappy beats. The DJ played some west coast music. He got his ass kicked.

What if they played southern (texan) music? Or northern music (from the border to Canada)?

Indeed. He, Ice Cube, and Eazy's last wife all have a producer's credit. Ice Cube and his son come off fine, but the Dre parts have lots of cringe to some of them. Eazy is played a bit soft.

Also the timelines are a bit off, so if anyone is really wanting a solid documentary, maybe stick to the VH-1 stuff -

On the topic of rap parodies, you can't forget Fear of A Black Hat -

Blacks in Compton and other parts of LA are being ethnically cleansed by Latino gangs.

Karma for blacks stealing Detroit, Chicago, Newark, Baltimore etc. from the hard working Polish, Italian and Irish immigrants who built those cities and turning them into ghetto abominations during and after integration.
