Straight Outta Compton is a classic movie and it's realer than you think

Prince was still in the group by the time they shot the album cover, so how? He didn't get swapped out for Cube.



If there was a PE movie, Griff would def. have to be in it because he was at the center of one of their biggest controversies, breh.

Besides that, I'm talkin' about time-wise. Almost half the Temptation movie wouldn't exist if it was done for the movies... so there woulda been a gang of shyt missing from it. If Straight Outta Compton ran 4 hours long, it probably woulda had more of the stuff that people felt was so crucial to it. And ultimately, it's a movie, not a documentary... most biopics don't pack every single fact and person into the story because time wouldn't even allow it.
i do understand that, but you have a group with 6 members, one of them was left COMPLETELY out of the picture and then we get a 2pac scene in the film in which he was in prison when Eazy died. Above the Law even makes a cameo. Arabian Prince was there from the beginning. Had a song on SOC. Toured with him. U see nothing wrong with writing one of the first members out of history? Johnny Juice was very important to public enemy. He used to do Terminator X scratches on the albums and music with Bomb Squad. Is he not important enough for a PE movie? Buuuut, if Cube would do a PE film, Griffs screen time would be like Ren or Yella's

Eazy wasn't having money problems man. I know you want to believe what Cube put in that movie, but it's just not true.
Tomica Wright was a producer of the movie as well. I'm sure she is responsible for having that in the movie not Cube or Dre. They wasn't around Eazy after Nwa broke up to know everything that was going on with him.

they made her a producer of the film to get rights to the music that she owns today. Power move. Of course she had input on the story, but no final say. She brought to the table that Jerry was stealing money. The whole "Eazy going broke" shyt was for dramatic scenes.

I been meaning to go back and watch Straight Outta Compton for like a week now.
I didn't see the movie in the theater, I actually bought the movie when it came out on dvd.
I liked the 1st half of it and I thought the 2nd half of the movie bought it the movie down and kept it from being classic but u make some interesting points.
I might go back and watch it again later tonight.

Since when does Tomica have Eazy's best interests at heart, she will sign off on whatever the snake.

They needed BG Knocc Out, Dresta, Bone Thugs etc there on set for Eazy's parts.

Let's say if they let Bone Thugs and Bg Knocc Out have some input on the movie and show Eazy E from their perspective

Bg Knocc Out said one night him and Eazy E had a show out in Texas and Scarface and his goons came in 200 deep and rushed the stage. They just wanted to be on stage with Eazy and show love but they was wilding out... then Face's goons started beating up people on the dance floor and Eazy E got scared and tried to run and leave Bg and them lol Eazy was so shook he tried to jump over a wall lol
Here's the interview BG said that in
:mjlol:
dubcnn.com // B.G. Knocc Out & Dre'sta (September 2006) // West Coast News Network //

Can you imagine if they put that scene in Straight Outta Compton? Eazy E fans would be furious.
:russ:


Let's say Bone Thugs was in charge of making the movie and they put a scene in there with Bizzy Bone and Eazy E playing around wrestling and Bizzy picked Eazy E up and had him on his shoulder like he was a little ass cabbage patch doll lol
:russ:

If there wasn't actual footage of this online of that happening people would be saying that was fake and skinny ass Bizzy Bone wouldn't never pick a gangsta like Eazy E up in the air
:stopitslime:

20 second mark


My point is no matter who was in charge of the movie or on the set giving input y'all would nitpic at it

I think Dre, Cube, and Tamica did a good job at choosing what they wanted to put in the movie

Naah.

Just Cube's and Dre's perspectives with Hollywood backing.

There are integral people missing in the movie..

yup. Cube and Dre fluff piece the 2nd half.

smh at the Bone tape on Easy's deathbed. They really acted like no one knew how shyt happened. Played rap fans for fools.

Like the scene Ice Cube got frustrated and smashed priority records office. At 2:07 mark of the scene you see the vision of a Cube


Because Cube was tired of getting jerked by people and wanted to be his own boss he started his own film and production company called Cube Vision


That bat smash scene really happened but

:ohhh:

@ the cube vision logo right in my face and I never noticed that!
