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?

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 andyou 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 itAftermath"... 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...

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!!!!
