I wouldn't. Gray had an edit at three hours that he was apparently very happy with.
Curious to see what they cut out then. But good to know. Would be nice if most of it comes on the 2nd half too.

This happened at the showing I went to as well (there were police officers at the entrance for the screens showing Straight Outta Compton as well as bag checks). Really disrespectful with the current events going on.
As for the film I enjoyed it, but it definitely felt like Dr. Dre and Ice Cube had the best representations in the film and it felt like Ren and Yella were just "there". Also I wish they could have made the movie feel more like the 80s-90s. Things like hair/clothes/etc... for a lot of the supporting cast/extras gave too much of a present day feel outside of props like phones and TVs.
Yup even a scene from the commercial wasnt in it and I heard a few other things were cut due to time, should be a directors cut once on bluray

Thats the VH1 documentary on NWA which straight outta Compton seemed like the movie version of that, its very good, also I would love to see a Suge Knight doc too

I was surprised this video wasn't mentioned at all.
Although after seeing the movie I finally know who the white guy is lol. I always thought he was just supposed to be a random record exec.

Not really its more the encompassing life of biggie. A focused movie on just a beef or something would be amazing

Yoooo I noticed an uptick in security at my Theatre, but never questioned it. Security at the main door, security at the theatre room entrance, 2 mall security vans driving around... never seen this much security around ever.
Had no clue this was because of this movie. Can't decide to laugh or cry.
Anyways, loved the movie. The audience seemed to really enjoy it as well.

One thing I never expected of this movie was how damn funny it was. This movie was hilarious at times.
Yella had my theatre rolling and that scene with Eazy recording Boyz in the Hood

Yo, I didn't know shit about NWA before watching this.
This movie was gooooood.
This movie was gooooood.
Saw it earlier today with my sister, it was really damn good. The cast was excellent. Cube Jr., Corey Hawkins and Jason Mitchell killed it, but I kinda wish there was more for Hodge and Brown to do.
The main negative that I can think of was that it felt like it was getting pretty long and rushing to reach a suitable ending in the last half hour. Otherwise it was very well done and had great drama, great humor
, and great fucking timing. It's nuts how relevant a lot of the first half of the film was, to the point of being unfortunate.
I really enjoyed it, and I'm glad to hear it's a success.
The folks they got for Suge, Snoop, and especially Pac were crazy good matches as well.

I knew immediately what they were setting up when they had those dudes come looking for Felicia lmao

I now look at No Vaseline in a totally different light now. The scene where it pans to each of the band members as he dissed them had my theater in tears, I swear.

Everything in this movie was deliberate and I loved it. Looking forward to the directors cut complete with Eazy-E and Dre beef.
Who was the other guy with Snoop when he first meets Suge & Dre in the studio?

I too watched it drunk, cheers!

haha crap.
This is a great doc. I'm surprised the movie didn't cover much about the music video for SOC. That was a pretty important point in their careers, and it also put them head to head with MTV. Which added to their publicity.
Hopefully Gray's director's cut will be released.

I really wish the movie got more into Suge Knight's strongarming Jerry and Easy to get Dre out of Ruthless/NWA because apparently Suge literally threatened violence and even claimed to be holding Jerry Heller, asking for the contract release as ransom.
And of course some coverage of how he killed Tupac woulda been cool.

I'd love a scene where you see him on the phone like;I really wish the movie got more into Suge Knight's strongarming Jerry and Easy to get Dre out of Ruthless/NWA because apparently Suge literally threatened violence and even claimed to be holding Jerry Heller, asking for the contract release as ransom.

I was kidding, man - that's an old conspiracy theory. I've also heard the theory that P Diddy was involved but that dude drinks too much Cambodian breast milk to strike me as the type

my week cannot get better than this image
How true is this?
Vanilla Ice explained how Suge knight bullied him, in order to give money to Suge. So he can fund deathrow records.
it was from here.

I would honestly love a hip hop "cinematic universe" that has the next chapter as the West Coast vs East Coast feud.

That's the short version of the story.
watch this for the real story.

edit - i've also read that Suge actually dangled Vanilla Ice from the balcony but who knows how true that is, or that Suge pissed on him or some shit like that.
But all must have been forgiven since they've taken pictures together a couple of years back.

I know you guys heard of the AIDS conspiracy, suggesting that the Reagan white house visit is how E got HIV.

Saw the movie last night. Great film. Definitely in my top of 2015. The guy who played Eazy did an amazing job. The whole cast was good tbh. The guy who played
looked just like him.

The keith and the girl review is the best in it's negativity
Watch Da Birdie
I buy cakes for myself on my birthday it's not weird lots of people do it I bet
Imagine, there's an alternate universe where Tupac lived long enough to be the one to write Pumpkin Hill.

My favourite movie out of the 4 I watched this month (Inside Out, Mission Impossible, Ant Man, and this), highly enjoyable.
Yeah I'm sure it had nothing to do with him having unprotected sex with a bunch of women during the height of the HIV epidemic.

Watched it with the girlfriend this weekend. It was an a amazing film and with Ice Cube and NWA producing some of my favourite albums, it was great to see some context behind the music. I think the actors all did a tremendous job capturing the spirit of their characters. My only complaint would be that Suge Knight's actor was too short. Damn O'shea Jr. had me convinced that he was his father.

Seen the movie last weekend, i thought it was a good movie, i just thought it was too long. Before the movie even started there was a fight... and we were only at the previews at that point. The instigators girl friend ended up macing the theater we were in so we had to switch. i got a free movie pass out of the ordeal so im not complaining.
