Straight Outta Compton makes 60.5 million Opening Weekend

[Numero Deux]

I wonder why they don't beef up the security for the release of Batman/DC flicks after this guy made his mark.

 

[jaguar paw]

$56.1 million.

Best opening for a music biopic all-time.

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.

I'm not going to front...shyt is deep.


At times, NWA does seem like one big Cointel scheme to sidetrack hip hop.


CIA dabbles in this shy from time to time.

They did it in the 60's by using rock & roll to demonize the hippy movement.

Laurel Canyon.Bunch of big time rock n roll artist came from that small community.Just so happens that most of their parents where high ranking military officers.Jim Morrison from the Doors being one.Dude had muthafukkas tipping off acid, then suddenly "died".Might be one of the most famous "industry plants" of all time




Now you know they'd have a psyop operation for nikkaz

yeah NWA pushed a million plus records out the back of a their tour bus and became intentional pop stars based on purely street buzz..Priority didn't nothing to promote them but just sat back and collected the checksyou can't be this stupid...

fakkit, they didn't get AirPlay anywhere, it was a word of mouth movement that caught everyone by surprise.

Same thing happened with acts likeToo Short etc

Were you even alive at that point or are you talking out of your ass about shyt you don't even know about.

 

[Wacky D]

If you watching this film for free and ain't supporting it, you a mark

(Hope a cop got hit by a 64 after wards)

i dont support

what i look like paying for that nut chit?

 

[Bryan Danielson]

Yeah man I'm a stickler for details in biopics.. Little stuff like Dre wearing 1993 Karl Kani gear in 1989 was stuff that I noticed but the majority of the viewers wont notice..

And how Pac was actually still in prison for that rape charge when Eazy died, not signed to Death Row...You gotta be of a certain age to sport certain flaws...

But the movie was excellent....Never let perfect become the enemy of good..

Technically..... when they showed Pac..... yes Easy was alive.... but later when they showed Easy in the hospital and dying there were no more signs of Pac and clear signs he was out of jail

You telling me they showed when dre put hands on a woman?

yes

 

[Bryan Danielson]

So an all Black film and I'm seeing a few cats in here with jokes and hating on it and blatantly nitpicking silly shyt.... this lets me know for sure that Black Panther gonna FLLLLLOOOOOOOOOOOPPP!!!

Our people are harder judges on each other than white people!! And for the record I want that movie like this to succeed but when it does.... all blame is gonna be on TheColi

Amistad ...aint Uganda or Kenya or some shyt yet you know more about pretending to know more about African American history than African Americansdon't believe everything you read on wiki fukboy....NWA and Too Short blew up on a mainstream level and sold all those records(to alot of non black people) on a major labels in large part cause the exposure they received which otherwise be impossible on independent local labels...this is common sense dumbass

 

[Apollo Creed]

if you clowns dont start another thread for all this crying and moaning.

 

[scarlxrd]

How was Tupac portrayed?

I wasn't too impressed by him or Snoop

 

[scarlxrd]

I'm trynna recall what from his history was omitted

Michel'le was glossed over. They mentioned the assault charge in the film but didn't even say her name. They came out squeaky clean.

 

[DeuceZ]

I enjoyed the flick...think the casting for Snoop and Dre could have been better but enjoyable nonetheless

 

[Bryan Danielson]

the movie was 2hrs 30 mins.... already a long movie.... only so much time you can put into 30 years of history

Plus I thought with the way this soft society is.... they dont wanna see women get attacked?

 

[Rigby.]

i dont support

That only appears when Dre knocking thugs out which is 4 times out of 2hr 30 min breh
