Hello readers,
I am back again and this time a review on Straight Outta Compton. Based on actual events revolving the world's most dangerous hip hop group, NWA, the story tells about the group's trouble with the law as they struggle to get their words out in the world. The law enforcement fears them and the group are ready to take on as they fight for what they really deserved. Straight Outta Compton is also the title of NWA's debut album that was released in the late 1980s.
I have always wanted to watch Straight Outta Compton because I am quite keen on hip hop culture and also this story is based on actual events. Such powerful film I thought it is usually misunderstood. If you think this film is all about some niggas who rapped and speak with vulgars, that mentality of these stereotypes thinking, bad influence on drugs and all things, then you are missing out the whole point of Straight Outta Compton. These men, NWA, are humans who spent everyday trying to get their words out. They aren't afraid of what is coming for them, they don't fear law enforcement. They have balls to create an art which is rapping and were brutally honest with every words being said.
Straight Outta Compton is also a film which deals with racism, something which still exists in our world. 1992 Los Angeles Riots was covered if you are wondering. The cast of the film were brilliant in their portrayals including one of them happened to be rapper Ice Cube's son. I enjoyed every parts of Straight Outta Compton and I admit this film is one of the best true story films out there. If you didn't know, this film was nominated for Best Original Screenplay in this year's Oscars.
Straight Outta Compton is a film which you as a reader shouldn't missed. So what if you dislike rapping or whatsoever, this film is a definite powerful one and I recommend you to check it out before the Oscars. We need films like this with issue that is still going on in the world. With message that could tell the world to wake up.
Ratings: 10/10
P.S. While I was looking up on Straight Outta Compton on IMDB, I noticed some reviews that have low ratings. I clicked on this particular user whose review with rating of 3/10 and it said these niggas shaming Jimi Hendrix in his grave. He then went on talking about this film showing bad influence and whatever he could think of. Whoever that person is, how can you compare NWA to Jimi Hendrix and any famous black singers popular back then? They are never in the same music genre category. Get your facts right and what do you mean bad influence? These people were back then rapping about the issues that they faced and those words were truths.
