this is an interview with the dude who plays 2pac in the movie that might speak to the inconsistencies. he says 2pac was not originally in the movie, but after the film was test screened, everyone was saying where was 2 pac, so they put him in. thats probably where they had timeline issues.
A movie about the world's most infamous studio gangsters backed by a killer marketing machine. I just want to see how big homie Suge is portrayed.
yes, Eazy brought them up when he made up with Cube and their first tape was left on Eazy's death bed

Disappointed in how Dre turned into a c00n. So I won't be supporting it. I'll watch this bytch for free.
Lol @ marketing machine, Interscope was a completely new label nikkaz4life sold what it sold without any promotion at all basically.
As far as studio gangsters go, Eazy and Ren were really in the streets, the people around the crew were really in the streets.
The other dudes were musicians and they were from the streets but not in the streets like that.
Specially Dr. Dre, he probably made his life seem cleaner than it was in the movie though, he was the party man in the hood from all the stories I've heard. I don't know about Ren, he was probably just Dres sidekick and Cube while his whole approach wasn't all gangster but more like a Public Enemy type of rapper in his early days, him being a studio gangster is probably a correct definition. But that was after he went Hollywood.

I haven't seen it but if they got Dre acting hard in it? I'm gonna be laughing my ass off
The Straight Out of Compton film is back by a marketing machine and promoted globally. Interscope was backed by Atlantic Records in the late 80s-90s so do not think at one moment that the NWA phenomenon was coincidental and organic. I also live in So Cal and I reiterate that they are the most notorious studio gangsters that ever live with MC Ren being the realest of the group. The rest were performers and suburbanites equivalent to ODB Russell "Rusty" Wallace suburban/hood ass. Eazy getting invitation from the Rebuplican party for White House events and shyt.
The movie is of course, their influence is nearly unmatched.
N.w.a. were not big to no damn marketing machine, Nas was on Columbia, which was was owned Sony does that mean that Illmatic was pushed like a Mariah Carey album due to the labels he was connected to?
And Eazy getting invited to the white house was not due to a label
, he was a member of the GOP and bought himself a place in a dinner for the financiers.
Eazy joined the Republican party for what? Illmatic was not about the destruction and death of young black males and only suburban non-whites were into Nas. If you watch the documentary the FBI's War on Black America you may understand. But you don't refute my points. The last socially conscious artists that had major backing was Queen Lauryn and after she was made to dye her hair blonde for Rolling Stones she just said fukk it. Try try again my friend.The movie is of course, their influence is nearly unmatched.

Who the fukk knows why he joined the party, he was a rich businessman hanging with old cacs. And act like Kendrick and J. Cole are not the 2nd and 3rd biggest artists in rap today.
These labels put on anyone who can make money for their owners, Universal is owned by a French conglomerate, Sony is Japanese and Warner is owned by a Russian/British jew. Do you really think they give two fukks about the music? They in it for the money.
Are you trolling? I don't know what you are talking about anymore. My point is that N.W.A. blew up due to 5 mic music, due to them being so controversial, being so unheard-of in music, being so aggressive and timely with the re-peak in violence, gang culture and police brutality.

Friday night the 845, 9, 930, 10 and 1030 were sold out. I was pissed. Had to go last night at 10. It was sold out too.

That thread saying they could make a rap Avengers though. Might have been accurate.
