Went away this weekend, seeing it some time during the week. My boy tells me Eazy's actor was amazing. So happy they didn't give the roll to Lil' Eazy now lmao.

they all were good, outside of mc ren and snoop..pac was surprisingly good

I thought Ren was portrayed OK as the low-key background member/Eazy's homie who also raps good lol but they could have at least covered when he dropped his first solo, he definitely got brushed off to the side for the most part

the dude who played young Snoop did look like him but didn't sound so much like him

The snoop actor didn't carry his energy .. In fact, the guy who played ren was more like snoop (shy, laid back) .. Ren was a lot more in your face than he was made out to be.

CNN surprised that Straight Outta Compton brought in box office record but no violence:

since no one mentioned it yet i wanted to point out that i thought it was crazy that compton menace was that OG blood '2 tone' from crenshaw mafia who got on the bus and checked everyone in the beginning, and then they go into 'Just Another Day' right after that scene. i guess that was back when him and game were still cool. Great film BTW, i thought Paul Giamatti killed it as Jerry Heller, on some Oscar nominee type shit. The casting over all was excellent and really what made the film so great, even the Ren portrayal. yeah, he coulda used more shine, but both he and yella are in it about the same, screen time wise, it only seems like yella has a bigger part cuz his character has more charisma and funnier(which is apparently true to life). The Ren character is more laid back, but still in just about every scene that involves them as a group. it's obviously mainly based around Dre, Cube and Eazy. and lets face it, thats the only way it coulda gone, they are the stand out players in the story. What could they have added that Ren contributed that wasn't in the film already?

If u listened to the old NWA albums, Ren is prolly the most outspoken member on skits, songs, etc.. The movie made it seem like he was a backup rapper when he was pretty much the frontman in terms of rhymin. But it's understandable, since he ain't a star like cube or dre.. As long as they dint do eazy like that.

I think it's expected to change some stuff for a movie, there is only so much time to develop a certain number of characters and
you have to streamline stuff for it to make sense sometimes...

Like if they show it as: "we're gonna call it Black Market records" and then they have to show them going, "oh wait, that name is taken, let's call it
Aftermath"... it doesn't have the same impact in a movie as just mentioning Aftermath and having people hear the name and getting it instantly...
Audience members who don't know all the details are gonna be like, "what? what's the new label called?" and they don't really gain anything from knowing that detail...

Same with the characters, you can't have like 6 main characters and fully develop them all, something has to give...

I agree... they still could have at least shown a few glimpses of Ren's first solo release and maybe shown a just 'years later' scene of Yella going into the porn industry lol I still feel like the Death Row/Ruthless disses were pretty vital missing bits though maybe all that will be featured in the director's cut

DOPE flick. My girl and I saw it Thursday night and again on Sunday and we got plans to go again this Saturday with some friends, gotta support while we can ;D. Really looking forward to the dvd/blu-ray, wanna see what was left out.

ICE CUBE - NO VASELINE Was A NWA Diss...
That's Why It Was IN The Movie.... Death Row/Ruthless Beef Had Nothing To Do With NWA In A Sense....
Im Pretty Sure DRE DAY Would Have Been In The Movie If He Dissed NWA But He Was Gunning For EAZY E!!!!

well they touched on the whole Dre/contract issue with Eazy so they should have also mentioned the diss tracks that followed... they also did leave out "100 Miles & Runnin'" and "Jackin 4 Beats" before "No Vaseline" but that was no big deal

Saw the movie today and really enjoyed it. The movie is a great tribute to Eazy. It had little white kids crying for him. I bet a million Eazy E albums got sold on iTunes over the past week.

My only complaint is that they left out the Dr. Dre vs. Eazy feud. This is unfortunate not only because Real Mothafuckin G'z is one of the best diss songs of all time, but also because the scene with the phone call between Dre/Eazy to put the group back together makes no sense if you don't realize that they were seriously beefing. Though I kinda doubt that that phone call ever took place.
