Do yall think the "Straight Outta Compton" movie did Ren justice?

She was dating cube at first, jumped on dre when cube went to school, fukked eazy, fukked suge all while the others thought she was with them.

I see what ren was complaining about before the movie dropped.

Movie didn't do Ren or post dre and cube ruthless any justice. They really had Ren looking he was Eazys weed carrier and not a pivotal member. They didnt even bring up Cube leaving to go to school when they were in full swing or Michel'le playing a HUGE part in the breakup of the group or that Eazy wasn't dead broke after dre left because he was still getting paid off of Dre when he went to Death Row and had bone thugs and ren selling. They fit in a bunch of shyt that they could've cut to give Ren more dialogue and I still don't know why he looked like G-Dep.

Yeah, I thought it was strange that these things were cut also.
...at the expense of including stuff like Cube amusing himself writing Friday (WITHOUT POOH, btw )

lol @ the last line though. I feel like they cast him alright because dude was dark-skinded enough to be "that black nicca Ren".


sidebar: Kim got a lot of burn in this movie, didn't she?

I don't think they had to give him ample time in the movie, but he had less presence then Yella who stole the show with just a few lines. Ren had about 1/4 the lines Yella did, he didn't even speak until 45-50mins in (I was timing it). I think that all they had to do was let him do some verses on stage instead of ALL Cube verses. He was standing right there, hypeman style. They could have thrown shots of he and Cube going back and forth writing or passing along their books during the montage instead of only Cube. These are small things that could have acknowledged his presence in the movie.

As for success, let's not forget that Dre has The Chronic...and I guess you can add Doggystyle. He dropped Aftermath Presents (flop) in '96 but he had y'all ninjas waiting damn near a decade for Chronic 2000...I mean 2001 (ok 6-7years), since Suge stole the title. Then he faded to black and still have y'all waiting for Detox. It's not like he's a workaholic. He's basically been surviving off Em.

The last Cube project I liked was Westside Cinnect. All of their musical careers have stalled.

COSIGN THIS ENTIRE POST.

all the way down to the musical careers. especially the bolded. i find it funny how people automatically convinced themselves that the 2001 chit was a classic.

everybody from nwa was by '97(minus eazy of course). last project from any of them that legitimately had IT was westside connection.
