This is a terrific film, which I admit I was hesitating about watching because this kind of "music" absolutely does nothing for me, and NWA was a group I thought were just a buncha hoodlums. Surprise surprise, I was utterly enthralled with this movie. I couldn't believe how O'Shea Jackson looked and sounded like his dad.Rodneyhttp://www.fernbyfilms.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-227751790693713235.post-42893523904346511682016-04-07T12:51:38.100-04:002016-04-07T12:51:38.100-04:00It is.

I get that they're not as big as the other three, but they could've been fleshed out a bit. Although I can see why they didn't, that film was running long as it was. I didn't mind the name dropping, I thought it was kind of cool. Great review!

It's clear that you have a love for the group and a certain nostalgia for days past but you stayed impartial and laid out the pros and cons of the movie well. Very well written, Mr Dell. I'm still not this film's biggest fan but I understand the love it received. Great review.

Even as I know about NWA's history as well as why Cube left the group as I think he did one of the smartest things that any artist should do when it comes to contracts.
